All right so your assignment for form is going to be to take three different images of whatever you
wanted to be a person a building an animal a vehicle whatever you could think of a gun doesn't matter.
But you're going to find three different objects.
It does have to be something three dimensional so don't do a picture of like a piece of paper but three
3-D objects and you're going to trace over them or draw whatever is easier for you and figure out what
their volumes are their basic forms.
OK.
So a lot of the opacity on this horse here and you can either use my image or you can find your own
but do three of them.
And where are you going to do is break down and block out the basic shapes of your object and you're
going to keep it pretty simple OK.
This isn't anything that's extremely complex just the basic shapes.
OK.
So I'm starting with this head and just blocking out where everything lies.
And for his ears I'm going to do cone shapes.
That series is in here.
Keep it nice and clean.
So there's his head.
I can help to draw center lines down things so that you can make sure that everything is lining up correctly
put into his neck.
Now that the neck is going to be a big cone shape with top cut off essentially is what the neck is.
All right then his shoulder area is kind of like a box shape here.
OK.
So we're going to try and capture that box shape.
All right.
And then we'll leave it open because we're going to do the legs now.
So for the legs the truss and alignment is really quick so we can see that more clearly.
So for the legs let's draw the cylinders first actually so each of these joints is going to be a sphere
shape.
And then this one will be kind of like a cone with the top cut off again and then his her will basically
be like a box.
OK then we can do the other side.
It's going to come down more Combes.
You could see it's pretty basic right.
These are all really pretty simple shapes to draw anyone can draw these.
Just being able to look at it and recognize it.
Being able to identify it is the real key.
Get these here bring that down this other box.
And then another sphere right here.
OK.
So you got those legs.
Let's move on to his body.
So his stomach and most of his his main body cavity is going to be a big spheroid shape which is like
a large three dimensional oval.
OK.
So it's going to intersect here with that piece of his chest and shoulders.
OK.
So is going to draw some curves here so that we can tell for him a little better came does adding some
more lines that help us more clearly visualize some of these.
Let's let's do this back his hindquarters now.
OK.
So this is going to be another box.
Am breaking this down into its most simple shapes and then we have this big cone here.
Here at the bottom and then same over here.
Through the bottom cylinder.
And that's pretty much it for the horse right.
Broken down into this is basic simple volumes.
Now if you can take this and you have this kind of broken down in your head you should be able to do
with practice kind of turn this in three dimensions in your brain and imagine what it looks like from
different positions and different angles so that you can redraw this out of your head from different
angles.
If you can do this with the object you're trying to draw in your head so you're trying to you know you're
trying to draw a dinosaur in your head if you can break it down into these basic shapes roughly you
should be able to turn these in your head and be able to visualize OK.
This is what's going to look like from this position and this angle and this is skull look like from
above on the side so on and so forth.
So practice doing this do five of these are sorry three of these the three of whatever object you want
and I'll see you guys in the next lecture.
