All right.
So when we're doing a solid study need to start out by identifying what the basic forms are.
So for this exercise I'm going to use a rap for us to do our study.
You can do your study of whatever you want or you could fall along and do it right as well.
But you could pick whatever you want if you want to work on handspike hands if you want to work on.
I don't know Tiger's people whatever you want I just pick an object and you can do your city of there.
I'm just going to say the process of how I do a study can to start off where we're going to go ahead
to do is figure out the basic forms of this right now to make this easier.
We're going to go ahead and start out by tracing it originally and then we will basically re reinterpret
this down onto our onto our campus after.
So we're sort out despite tracing over the major forms of this rat so sort out we have his head obviously
right and his head is going to be basically pretty basic shape here.
It can be made up of these different boxes.
For the most part
I'm keeping it pretty simplified pay his ears and then we will get his eyes in there as well.
Then we have his neck which in this image is kind of four.
But next can rats are next.
Next can two beds stretch their necks out though quite a bit.
So we'll see that sort of change.
OK.
So his body his ribcage is going to be pretty consistent most the time.
And then for his legs even though it's kind of mashed together his legs are going to be these large
oval shapes.
The skin stretching between them and then his his hips will be seated somewhere back here something
like this.
And that way we can kind of understand a little bit more of the anatomy of him.
OK.
Then we have his little hands.
So that leaves us with our basic shapes.
OK.
Now I'm going to to find these just a little bit more so I can really clearly see where the forms are
draw and the kind of like the skeleton inside of these shapes.
Well maybe I do see where everything goes OK.
So these are basic shapes right there we know he has a towel but we can't see that.
OK.
So now I'm actually going to let's redo his head and make it a little bit more.
The rest of his body is pretty around let's go ahead and try and match that style and so just doing
this really blocky thing.
Obie I think it will be easier to work from there because really will drive as more of like a kind of
like a cone shape.
Maybe that seems like it will feel a little bit more accurate.
And then we're just going to also work here round off some of the shapes so we know they're form a little
better and the curvature of them
can.
Now he can turn that off and see we have a pretty decent wireframe.
OK.
Now I'm going to take the same shapes and draw my own version of this rat just using my my mind and
being able to look at this.
So I'm going to start with his head.
And we know that I'm going to do a full on side.
You were going to return this just a little bit.
Actually we're going to keep it pretty much this and we're just going to do a default pose like three
quarters view with his body not twist or anything.
So his heads are going to pretty much be almost the same.
OK.
It starts with basically a sphere.
That's easy enough to draw we can draw a sphere right.
And then it comes down into his mouth shape top of his head is going to be kind of flat.
And then his mouth is going to come and that sphere looks like.
We do it through a little bigger short and then shrink this just a little bit.
All right.
So we have the head in there basic shape of the head.
OK.
We'll do the ears more towards the end.
Mike I worry about that right now.
OK then as his neck comes down
and it's basically a cylinder sort of shape that widens out towards the end then we have his torso and
his pelvis is going to be sitting down here and it's going to be this sort of box shape.
I think we need to tilt it just a little more.
One more time.
And then his spine comes down and attaches to the back of it right there.
Maybe a little lower and then we have his legs which are when he's sitting kind of make this sort of
a big shape here which repeats on the other side.
We have his feet which are just kind of like little boxes literally from this pose.
I'll be out here a little bit more.
OK.
So just by recreating these basic shapes right because these are pretty simple you can turn these around
in your head and kind of get a feel for their air and.
All right those are simple enough.
And sometimes when we just start out by trying to replicate something that's kind of complicated it
can be overwhelming but when we break it down into the shapes realize that it's not so complex that
that's something we could totally do right.
OK so the more I draw these right the more examples I do and the more I practice the more and more I
would start to understand exactly how this kind of comes together.
Right.
And the more accurate it would become as well.
OK.
Because right now it's not.
Honestly it's not perfectly accurate right but it's close.
Right.
This is getting closer and the more that you practice it the more that you'll be able to pick up on
the small nuances to really get it down right which is why we're doing we're doing this study Papps
get his hands in there and then we'll do the other side.
So we know that this is going to be showing up right about there.
Right.
And we're going to move this lower and this elbow also needs to be brought down lower as well.
And one last heard.
Let's bring this whole thing back a little bit.
And then we can erase this because I was just kind of there to help us figure out the form.
All right.
And then this would give us our really basic basic shape.
Right.
Made out of its various forms.
OK.
So pretty simple I think maybe I need whoops.
I need to make his head a little bit smaller.
And then for the posies and I also I also want his neck to be a little bit more stretched out.
So we'll do this clean up some of this work down here.
A little messy really trying to capture the overall essence in shape.
I think maybe this leg needs to be back even more and then we'll know that up a little bit and bring
his head just a tad bit smaller.
All right.
And I think that gives us that his neck looks a little too long actually.
And shorten it again.
That gives us a pretty good starting point for doing a study right.
Now we know all of the basic shapes of forms right where everything roughly lies what all these basic
shapes are made out of so that when we want to draw this in different poses we won't have a super difficult
time and we can add the detail on here as well.
Tails it's going to be a long cylinder kind of like a cone that slowly tapers off.
OK.
So that's it for this lecture and just kind of breaking out those basic forms.
And I will see you guys in the next one.
