0:05 okay so first of all make sure that you have a very sharpened pencil take your paper and start with folding it over like this and so the thing we're looking for is this straight edge along here so you're basically going to come up with your own paper ruler and then you want to get a continuation of that over here then we're going in and putting the y-axis you want to give yourself room here you're going to be drawing this part
0:50 so if you have a t-square for this part that would be helpful but if you don't just line up this top straight edge up to the top of your paper so when you're starting these vargs start from the center so you can see right over here here's our x and y axis you can see that triangle shape right here start with that triangle using the a little bit of the side of my pencil and i'm working very lightly and i'm pressing a little harder as i get a little bit more confident in where the placement is of that line i'm going to go in and look at this next shape here i'm going to continue
1:36 off of this and for something like this form right here we can break it down into one angle to three so i'm looking for one to the ray again i'm doing this by eye i'm using the side of my pencil and i'm basically trying to get this to be exact size so we're doing what's called a site-sized drawing of this meaning if this is exactly the same size as i'm seeing it on here so i'm looking to see okay do i see those angles one two three
2:24 connects like this again the side of my pencil i can clearly see this breaks out to one two three small angle there okay so this is us training our eyes to become more sensitive to angles okay so you don't want to just jump right in and use your ruler because you actually can come in here and use your ruler and just go like this and we actually are going to do that soon but not yet you can go like that and go okay well there's that width so and because this is actual size also known as site size they
3:09 should line up it looks like me doing this by eye was really close i was off by just a hair on that side so you are actually going to use your ruler but you're going to use it to check your measurements that you've done by eye so you're not going to start with the ruler so avoid jumping in with the ruler continue this by eye okay we're looking at the lines and we're thinking about this in a linear sense so now we're going to take a moment to look at the entire mass here so look at this whole shape
3:57 and compare it to this whole shape so like just a way that this swells here should be similar to this the overall angle and so on should be similar and so far um okay so far there's this works there's some things that i'm going to adjust but before i get into it i need to see the mass more so i'm going to go in and put in that little it's almost like a tail here if this were a mouse we could see a small tail and here let's say this is a mouse with like sort of half mouse half duck here's his
4:42 little duck bill okay so just just so that you can see this little animal a little bit better this mess i'm going to put an eye here so you can see him a little eyeball all right i'm going to put another eye here it's my little creature right like this is a little duckbill okay so when i look at this i see a few things that are off like his duckbill here and mine is too small so now i'm going to go in and just carve into this line with my eraser
5:32 so i'm looking for those three angles that we see here so it's important to get the thickness of these lines as well because the thickness will affect the inside negative space that we're seeing in here so the thinner the lines are the wider the negative space will be and it'll just look off so you really want to match the the thickness as well so i'm thinking this might be too too short the height here so again i'm going to do this by eye and make that a little bit taller
6:22 so now this is a little bit like a domino effect if i don't get all of this correct then when i go to measure this based on this and i'm measuring this based on this if this is wrong if we're too tall too thin and so on everything else is off so you really want to nail this first part before you move on to the next step so once i've got something down like this and i've basically drawn it by eye as much as i can now i'm going to go in and check my measurements with the ruler so let's do that again let's go from here to here so that's your lineup okay center to here
7:12 and now let's check okay center line up that line is a little below that they're about the same this width is roughly that width it's just a tiny tiny bit smaller so let's check that right so here okay so i'm looks like i could get a little bit smaller okay and then let's check down here
7:59 okay and my eye it's pretty much on the money just so i just had that that's gonna just connect more like that okay okay so now i'm just going to clean this up so this line that we put down is kind of giving us the information for the next one so again side of my pencil and i'm squinting my eyes i'm looking at this this white space in here that's our negative space i'm seeing okay i can get a little
8:52 thinner okay i'm going to continue that around again i'm just working my eye let's go here and let's establish that vertical line at some point it changes direction and connects with this okay so what i'm looking for for something like this is how it's thinner here and how it gets a little bit wider here so i should be able to see that so i'm going
9:39 to squeeze that once i have this additional line across here then we're going to do our measurements again let's do another check so that should end right there very top line okay so oops let's bring this over okay so it looks like i was a little bit short it actually ends right here so this whole line goes up one
10:28 okay and i'm going to check now on the other side this is this line starting right here and that starting right there okay that's good i have it on the line but not starting it's like maybe in the middle so i can get i can give myself more room there let's widen that out and i'm going to push this so this whole line comes up so
11:15 give this more of an angle so as it goes from here to here let me get a little bit more of an angle and that dips down again you can use your kneaded eraser for this as well like just make make a flat edge and carve into it so for this for my students i usually i want to see like see this this is so subtle it's barely noticeable but i'd like to see something like that
12:00 these two angles okay so then we would go on to this part of the eye because again you can see that that's kind of repeating here the two angles so i'm going to just again look by eye [Music] and seeing that line starting about here again it's so important to just do this by eye at first because you're the point the entire point of this is to train your eyes to become more sensitive to angles i'm looking at it like this side of my pencil and when i'm doing this part i'm actually
12:46 looking at connecting it here and trying to imagine this big large shape right here okay so you should you should really be seeing we're trying to imagine a shape like this that shape fitting in here i'm looking at the negative space here and just asking myself how many of these fit in here see how many of these widths would fit in there
13:40 squint your eyes look back and forth keep asking yourself is that angle parallel to that maybe i can get flatter look at the width compare the width i think this could get longer bring it in a little more and another thing you should do is right where this line changes direction this
14:26 point right here an imaginary vertical line down you can see how it lines up with this intersection okay now i'm looking at this and i can see one maybe two two large angles here and then a vertical again side of my pencil one and then i see how it gets thinner here
15:52 okay and so we can see pretty clearly these three angles okay and now i'm going to do another check center top center top i'm a little bit past the top it's pretty good nice all right so i just checked a little bit with the height and the width that worked out and then in here we can see almost a
16:37 like an arm his elbow's here his arm wraps around and then there's a if you think of this as like a hand here's his his wrist okay so here's like that that kind of this this punching think of like that as a hand right this punching fist okay now it's important that's again that's mass thinking okay so it's important that we see masses within this as well it'll really help you to to get this and it's also important to see this these big shapes shapes so we see on here i see a slightly different one
17:22 this is more like i connect it here that my x and y so i get something like that so in order to figure out this height simply look at what you've got going on down here roughly it's a little smaller than this i think so when i look at that compare it let's put that big arc so i'm constantly switching gears i go to linear thinking look at the big angle look at the big arc switch gears into mass thinking
18:11 now i'm doing the same thing as i was doing there except now i'm seeing a shape like this see my x and y axis so i'm looking at that big shape looking at this big shape see this point right here imaginary horizontal about halfway from here to here so let's see halfway
19:17 if you look really closely you can see there's almost like two angles here you
