All right so we've come up with an idea of what we want to sketch but before we just throw ourselves
into a sketch we kind of want to come up with some you know composition or pose ideas.
Right.
A lot of times what happens is we have kind of like a default pose or a default angle that we draw from
right.
It's what we're most comfortable drawing from.
So a lot of times for example when I first started drawing a lot I would always draw stuff from the
side because that was just when I was most comfortable drawing in something that I necessarily couldn't
draw from other angles.
It's just that I wasn't thinking about it and I just kind of went into my old habit of drawing from
the same angle that I always draw from.
Right.
Same with the pose.
It would always be in the same pose basically just standing there.
Right.
But if you can take a second to think about the pose you want to do and think about the composition
of the page.
Are you going to have a background where is he going to be positioned on the page.
Stuff like that then you'll be able to have a lot more of a dynamic drawing.
Now composition isn't the biggest thing in the world at this point because while it's digital and we
can move things around pretty easily later especially when you're working in layers.
However it is a good idea to at least somewhat keep that idea in mind and decide whether or not you
think you might want to have a simple background or a full fledged background where the object or person
is incorporate into it or no background at all.
But most of what we want to focus on is some sort of appose So we're going to sketch out just some really
rough wireframe sort of drawings of what I'm kind of picturing this creature like.
And then we're going to see look at some different PPOs ideas for what might work for them.
I'm not going to be doing super complex or really detailed anything on this right because I'm really
just trying to focus on getting a good pose down.
OK.
So I'm thinkin he's going to look like a sort of gorilla sort of look right.
So obviously I think I'm going to have him standing on all fours to show that off.
Right.
I'm working here by adding in his arms and his chest and stuff in his neck just sort of rough out some
possible pose ideas that I might like.
This is kind of like some nailing right if you if you done concept or before other types of design work.
This is pretty similar to some nailing right.
Coming up with ideas but we're not taking it seriously because it's just a sketch right.
And if you want to do this step really like in your head kind of almost where you already know the pose
you want you can do that but this is kind of helps give you some ideas.
So that's one idea I'm thinking maybe what if he was it was more like from below.
We're looking at him from below where he's standing.
So you know like you were looking up at him so he feels huge.
And so he has going to go at that gorilla sort of feel.
But then for this other arm you want to have him have like a some sort of like that for a spear or a
sword or something.
And all his other leg in here is legs.
We want him to have any sort of a heel.
It's really important at this point since we're just working on the pose.
I'm thinkin the poses are right.
It's kind of working.
What are some other ideas we could try though.
Maybe he is kind of standing up like on his hind leg.
See how that ends up working if we try that
.
All right.
So we're kinda sorta like here going to tilt this guy so center of balance is a little bit better and
we'll have his shoulders kind of thrown back here his head up to the sky.
OK.
Another idea let's do a couple more.
Maybe he has like his his head is way so sketched out the shape of his head here.
And he has like his head way down by the ground like he's looking at something like I've said it was
like a person here and he's getting really close so he could see them.
And so he has like his shoulders are really close to the ground and his head was just a little bit more
room.
Right.
And then we'll have his legs back here a little bit small but that's OK.
We're just trying to get a pose down so I can worry about that right now.
But proportionately you like that game is another idea.
Let's do a few One more and we'll do this one over here and try doing like maybe he's like hanging off
something like this like he's like a war.
And then this arm is going to be all going on up here.
And then his head up there somewhere like that.
OK.
So those are some pretty good poses I guess is enough to work with to know kind of what direction we
want to go in.
And if I want multiple sketches I can use any of these poses but I think honestly the one that I really
like the most and then I want to go with is probably the first one I just kind of envisioned what I
was picturing and kind of like to pose and look I had for the character probably do like maybe mix up
a combination of these two but at least I have like these good post sheets that I can know if I want
to draw this character again in a different pose I already have some ideas start out some.
Now I'm not just going in blind we can start with an idea or a pose that we want and to jump right in.
So I'll see you guys in the next lecture.
