  • To join the Fresh Eyes challenge, go to: www.lovelifedrawing.com/fresh...
    The free account you make will also give you access to our new reference library for your general figure drawing practice. The lighting is designed to create clear and interesting shadow shapes and the poses are fun and dynamic!
    Watch Part 2 here: • The 3 forms that make ...
    We are removing an entire dimension to start this 10 day challenge. By thinking 2D, we can more easily get to the heart of some of the biggest ideas the human figure presents us. If we can learn to see each of these poses in terms of the very simple 2D model we created, we can see some of the most important things we need to see for life drawing, including both gesture and structural drawing.
    These ideas about the torso, shoulders, attachment of the legs, head and neck are fundamental to figure drawing, whether you are interested in gesture, anatomy or using simple 3D forms.
    If you are unsure about how to see these simple shapes in these poses, there is extra guidance when you sign up to the challenge with the link above.
    Chapters:
    0:00 Intro
    0:21 Torso
    3:44 About the Fresh Eyes challenge
    4:44 Shoulders
    7:18 Attaching legs
    8:55 Neck and head
    11.07 The model as a whole
    12:59 The limitation of this model
    13:24 The side view, going 3D and more
    How the Fresh Eyes challenge works:
    There will be two tutorials here on CZcams - this one and another on day 6 (Sunday 20th Feb).
    When you make an account with the link above, you can access the 2D model and play around with it, trying to match the poses. Each day, you’ll get a new exercise plus 5 specially designed reference photos each day to practise with and drawing. There will be additional mini-tutorials in there to explain how to see the forms in the figure, as well as the side view of the figure, plus optional live sessions for further clarification.
    Then on day 6 we will switch to thinking in 3D. We will build on the ideas already developed but using simple 3D forms. On day 6, a tutorial will be posted here on CZcams about drawing these ideas in 3D. Again on our website, there will be exercises each day on days 6-10, plus live sessions and extra explanations.
    Sign up with the link above and learn to see the figure with Fresh Eyes!

    This video has some of the most useful ideas we have discussed on this channel. It took a ton of thought to make this model as simple as it is. But simple doesn't mean easy. The ideas are fairly sophisticated, and it's not always easy to see them in a pose. Come and practise them plus much more by joining in the full challenge - link is in the description! When you sign up for a free account, you can also access our reference library for your general life drawing practice, plus our lovely community :)

    The "Attaching the Legs" section proves this is a good video and teacher. Due to pride or just not knowing, too many art "teachers" refuse to give a anatomical point for the top of the thigh. At the ASIS when all anatomy is accounted for.

    Wow the squashing midsection tip has connected so many dots in my head as to why I'm constantly redrawing the torso area and why my proportions are usually off. This is the useful stuff I never seem to find in the anatomy books. It's rare that I see my art improve so soon after watching a video but this did just that, thanks!

    Wow, that was so clearly explained. I signed up last night after watching one CZcams. After playing with the ideas, I noticed today that in my doodling, the results were simultaneously more artistic, expressive and realistic. The doodling part was also more fun...that says a lot because I always have fun doodling, which is why I do it. I can feel my doodling turning into drawings. I love how expressive you are in your videos and how much fun you are having as well.
