Brief Summary
This video provides a tutorial on how to accurately draw an eye using reference points and angles. It covers techniques for identifying reference points, using paper or a stick to measure angles, and transferring those measurements to your drawing. The video emphasises precision and practice, encouraging viewers to take their time and focus on accuracy rather than speed.
- Use reference points to guide your drawing.
- Measure angles with paper or a stick.
- Transfer measurements accurately to your drawing.
- Focus on precision and take your time.
The video introduces the "Bark Eye" assignment, found on pages 10 and 11 of the workbook. Similar to previous shape exercises, this assignment involves using a piece of paper or a shish kebab stick to identify reference points and angles to accurately draw an eye. The key difference is that this exercise involves more complex shapes than previous assignments.
The instructor explains how to identify reference points, which are locations where there's a change in angle. Using a piece of paper, the corner is placed on a reference point, and marks are made to indicate the vertical and horizontal lines. These marks are then transferred to the drawing to establish the correct position of the reference point. If the lines become confusing, a small symbol or squiggle can be added to differentiate them.
Once two reference dots are established, a straight line can be drawn between them. The instructor uses a straight edge to demonstrate this, acknowledging a mistake and using an eraser to correct it. The process involves working down the eye, aiming for accuracy and identical replication of the reference.
After completing the eyes, the tutorial moves on to more complex shapes, spaces, and values. The instructor reinforces the importance of double-checking measurements for accuracy.
The video explains how to use a stick to find reference points. The stick is placed along a line, and a finger marks the point where the line intersects. This measurement is then transferred to the drawing to accurately position the reference point.
The instructor encourages viewers to take their time, think about what they're doing, and not rush the process. The video concludes with a reminder to focus on accuracy and precision.

0:01 this is the bark eye assignment it's on pages 10 and 11 of your workbook and just like the shapes you guys are going to be using a piece of paper or another option you can use is this shish kebab kind of stick here to help you find your reference points and your angles and now that um instead of just doing simple shapes now we're doing something a little bit more complicated so this eye right over here i'm going to look for my reference points i remember that reference point is when there's a change in the angle so like here's a reference point here reference point here reference point here etcetera and i can move around and then you can use the little pieces of paper that was provided for you guys
0:47 in the the packets i'm going to take the corner of this paper and put it on the reference point and i'm going to make a mark where the vertical line is and a mark where the horizontal line is and then i just come over to this side okay this is where my point is in relationship to that vertical and horizontal line and i just continue to move on to the next section etc sometimes if i have a problem um remembering what line is what they're starting to look all similar i draw a little symbol or a squiggle line to help me remember where it is so here i go line it up and once i get two reference dots then i can create a straight line
1:34 oh let's see i need a ruler for this apparently if i had one so we're just gonna eyeball it right now i'll use this straight edge oh that looked pretty bad but if you mess up guess what you got an eraser just like how i did right over here so all right so i got that line in and then i just continue working down um working on the eye so just like the shape i should be able to get it on the dot exact make it look incredibly identical
2:21 and there's this but anyways you guys will just continue working and practicing on the eyes here we have this wrinkle over here and once we're done with the eyes we just kind of move on to even more complex shapes and spaces and values as move along just double checking that i did that right if you guys are using this stick you can use this stick by saying okay so for example let's say i'm doing this vanishing for this reference point right here i'm going to take the point of the stick put my finger where the line is and say okay that vanishing point is somewhere right here not vanishing point reference point
3:07 excuse me and i'll go to the horizontal line major with my finger how far it is and so that point should be right there where those two lines intersect all right enjoy um take your time think about what you're doing don't feel like you have to rush this and that is all
