      I draw a line. Then i draw a second line. One is guaranteed to be less like the objective. Erase that line. Start over.
      I draw a decent toe, tho.

    MY ART TEACHER PLAYED THIS VIDEO TODAY AT MY ART CLASS!
    Edit: can yall stop in the comment section saying my teacher was lazy and didn't do his work, the only reason he showed this was because he only wanted to show an example, he was an amazing chill teacher...I made this comment during my junior year in HS and thought "wow it's jazza I never thought he would be in my lesson!" I was just surprised? I'm sick and tired of yall trying to find an excuse to hate on my teacher especially when they get underpaid to do their job..he also showed this particular video because we we're learning how to do body postures for that specific art unit...anywho just wanted to make that clear.

    I watched this three times. The first time I was deeply confused. The second I was less confused and started drawing my shitty deconstructions. The third time I finally understand the majority of what you stated and also my deconstructions are still shitty. It's to be expected when you're level 1 learning from a master.
    I'm learning how to draw. I think I leveled up a few levels. Thanks, Jazza.

    Also something to keep in mind, if you want to make a face look more feminine, make the hard edges more rounded. For instance in the jaw, instead of it being made of those three lines that Jazza mentioned, make it one curved line.

      I agree, proportions and perspective are the hardest things for me.

    Great to see that every artistic activity is based on the same pattern. As a comedian, it's exactly what we need to do for the construction of a caracther : lay down the foundation and Structure of it. Then refine details, and then giving the texture, the shading, keeping in it the simplicity of the construction line we establish before. This construction allows us to play our caracther in any situations, perspectives and angles. Thanks for the non-intentional metaphor Jazz, thanks for reading my french-english that sucks and thanks for this brilliant work you are doing with such simplicity. Your construction line is on point :)

    An aging bearded moderate hipster musician sits in front of his macbook pro, preparing to watch a drawing tutorial when up pops a car commercial (oddly, I've already forgotten the brand) where a family start singing "Buddy Holly" by Weezer together.
    He throws his pipe down onto the coffee table in front of him.
    "Goddamnit, stop making me feel so OLD!"
    He turns to his wise and somber Jack Russell terrier.

      No prob man! It's well deserved! I've seen other tutorials and they don't go into nearly as much detail as you! You may have things like this, but maybe animating specific things like animals, robots, and particle effects? I've heard from other artists on UA-cam that particle effects aren't the easiest to create/animate.

    It's getting the angles right of something that's turned - like a head, and knowing how to keep the plane consistent with all the facial features _also_ looking like they're on the same plane, that I find tricky. Same as when Jazza rotated the hammer and the car. Drawing them flat-on is the easy bit, it's doing it once they've turned 45º that makes me fall over!

  • @LilSirAxolotl
    @LilSirAxolotl 9 років тому +45

    One thing I'm missing in this anatomy construction video is the measurements. I think you're drawing figures 7 heads high right? I was watching some of Sycra's videos awhile ago on his lightning technique for drawing the muscles on arms and legs and he uses an 8 heads tall method. It dawned on me that however helpful your videos have been on what fundamental shapes the male and female body consist of I don't remember you mentioning measurements (although I must admit I haven't watched them all yet)
    I think why some people watching this tutorial would have problems is because when they implement it the result isn't what they thought it would be. For instance when you draw that little line and dot for the nose and mouth explain why they go there and what the width is. The eyes are usually one eye width apart from each other etc.at what point do the elbows and knees start...
    When you draw it in 3D perspective you start foreshortening and that is the complicated bit for most because insight in measurement is crucial then. You're absolutely right when you say that people will just have to observe and practice so they will get a feeling for those 'accordion bends'. I'm still at that stage right now so I know. But some won't get that and perhaps get discouraged to continue as a beginner
    Between you and Sycra's videos though I've already learned so much the past month. I'm already drawing and painting robots in all kinds of complicated poses and perspectives. Followed an art class for about half a year over ten years ago and learned nothing so I gave up. I was just drawing two pillows with charcoal on paper the whole time. But I somehow stumbled onto your tutorials and they inspired me to buy an Intuos and give it another try. I'm so glad I did. So this is by all means merely CONSTRUCTIVE criticism ;) pun intended of course
