Hello, I'm Amelie.

I started drawing with a pencil when I was sixteen, initially focusing on pencil drawing classes. During these early years, I developed a strong foundation in portrait drawing, figure drawing, and facial features design. I also honed my skills in working with colored pencils, ink pens, and watercolors. These diverse experiences have given me a comprehensive understanding of various techniques and styles.

As my interest grew, I discovered a passion for character design and animation, which led me to pursue professional character design classes. My university education in the field of animation further deepened my expertise. At the age of twenty-four, I began teaching character drawing with a pencil, combining my knowledge of traditional drawing techniques... See full profile

1. Introduction: Hi, I'm Emily, and I'm very happy to be with you with another class. In this class, you will learn to draw the human figure in four different ways. After taking the class, you can muster the human figure design by practicing the taught methods. To enter this class, you only need to know about the basics of drawing, and that will be enough. You also need very simple tools in this class. With this class, take your figure drawing art to a new level. We are rolling this class for the challenge of learning a new skill. I'm looking forward to see you at the very first session. Hello everyone and welcome to a new chapter of designing and sketching with me. We're going to create figures. And after that, I'm going to teach you how to do it. So first, I'm going to tell you the equipment that you need during this course and this chapter. You need a normal pencil and a B6 pencil. For this course. These two pencils are enough. Then you also need enter the eraser and a normal eraser, which are actually the base of all of our chapters and courses. For starting this course. Just having these four is enough 2. Drawing the human figure using geometric shapes: Hello again and welcome to another. And actually our first episode of this tutorial, let's start creating figures together. First of all, we are going to create a woman's figure. And in order to sketch a woman's figure, I'm going to say it's a bit different. Comparing two, sketching a figure of a man. Then I'm going to tell you while I'm doing it. As always, for starters, I'm going to start with the head. So I'm going to start with the head over here as well. So my hand will move freely and I create a circle as the head. You can have your normal Pencil and work with it. So it would be lighter and it would be easier for you even if you make mistakes. So you can create your head as the shape of a circle or an oval. Not too much but a little. It can be shaped towards oval. For the neck, I'm going to consider a small circle. And for the chest area onto the end of my ribs and the end of the chest bones. I'm going to create a shape like this. See, this is the end of the ribs and of the bones for the chest. For women. Then I'm going to create two circles again for the two shoulders because I want to create the joints. And then I'm going to create the stomach area. Even for that, I'll use another circle very easily with just these few geometrical shapes, we could have created the head, the shoulders, and the stomach. Now, for the waste and the lower body part, I'll Riemann. We create a triangle like that. And then I'll create two more triangles which are turned this way. This would be her bottom. Thank him. The size of that can be different. Can differ based on the size of her bottom. So that's just a normal shape. I'll consider this area as the bottom of my or basically as the beginning of my leg. And I'm going to continue up to here. It would be this tall. And then I consider a circle for my knee joint. Then I'm going to create a leg like this. From here. It would be the beginning of my leg. I can put one leg behind the other one or I can place it just next to it. Your choice, Rayleigh. Then I'm going to create the lower parts of the legs, the cows. And then I consider two joints as circles for my ankles. And then I'm going to connect these two parts together with lines. So I consider two more circles for the ankle joints. Alright. Then, because I want to show that this leg is more in front of created and then the other one would be placed behind it. This is my first foot, which is more in front and this foot which show that it's in behind. So I'm also going to erase all the extra lines so it would be more visible for you. I wanted to be cleaner and more visible. Alright. Now I want to create her arms, as in all these parts, even the parts that I've joined, the bones and joints. I'm gonna do this same thing for my arms. This circle represents the joint of the elbow. And then from my shoulder, I create lines to create the arm. And then this circle would be representer of my wrist joint and I attached the hand on it Again, on the same track, on the same level, I create another joint for the elbow, the other elbow. And as the same measurements, I come down to create the wrist joint and of course, the other hand as well. So does the sales that we could create. We have created this beautiful woman's figure. Okay? So you can actually alter anything you like in this figure, for example, you can make more distance between the arms, take them up, take them low, or even change the angle and the view of your figure. So I'm going to create another figure with more details this time. I have the head. I would have the neck. For the chest area. I'm going to use a shape like this. And this curved line is actually the end of the chest, the end of the ribs. I'd have the stomach here, triangle for the lower body part. And another, actually two other triangles for the bottom. You see basically from the shoulders till the bottom of the women's figures, you can see a triangle. Over here. I create two more triangles for her bottom. I told you before it is size of the triangles depend on the size of her bottom. Then I create the knee joints. And I bring my lines down to get the legs very easily. Then I Sketch to ankle joints and I connect my lines again to create decals. And of course, I will not forget about the feet. Again, I'm going to create two circles as two joints. For example, this time I want to have one arm going up like this. The elbow, the wrist. Here goes the hand. And I want to Sketch The second arm going down from here. This would be my elbow. And here it goes. It's right next to the leg. Just as easy as that you can create your a specific figure in different shapes. And here goes hair, breasts. Alright. Now I'm going to Sketch immense Figure. Well, for creating a man's figure, we're going to start the same as we did for women. So I'm going to start with the head. That's the same part. I'm going to have a man's head as an oval. Then I'm going to work on his neck. In this way. Again, you can create a circle as his neck. But because I'm going to actually take it to the next step and make it more professional. I'm just getting it out of its beginner shape. So you can do the same. We can do it in a beginner way using the circle as the neck. But I want to take it to the next step, so I will create the neck like this. The most important thing in sketching figures is that you can move your hand freely and you can create the lines wherever you want. As you can see, the chest area is wider for men comparing to what we had for women. And then I get this area with a curved line, the end of the chest and Fordist stomach part. We've created a circle for women's figure, for their stomach. But in men's figure, we're going to create an oval for their stomach. It might even have a six pack here. The lower part of the body would be like this. It's actually going to be the exact opposite shape of what we had for the upper body part. Then you reverse it. It's like that and it's for their lower body part. Okay. I'm going to work on the legs. Again. First of all, I determine the knee joints. And then like that I'll come down creating the legs. Okay. And then I'm going to sketch the calls and connecting them to my ankle. Joints. Again, red circles. Just like this. I've created the legs and defeat. You can see we're almost done with the man's figure as well. I'm going to create the arms again. The same thing that we did for women's arm. We're going to do the same thing for the men's arm. I determine the elbow joints creating the arms. And of course the rest joints should also be determined. Alright? And the hands. Just as easy as that. Alright, I can even add some more details to him. I'm actually highlighting the main parts of my work. See. You can determine them from the extra lines. Six packs is abdominal and the pelvis area and of course, the legs. So I'm just highlighting my main lines. So you can see my main sketch. I should also do the same thing for the arms. Alright, I'll continue over here. And my man's figure is finished right here. In the next episode, we're going to create the figures in different angles and in different postures. So see you next time. 3. Linear and angular method of human figure drawing: Hello again, Welcome to a new episode of figures sketching with me. In this episode, I'm going to teach you a very simple way in order to create your fingers. This way that I'm going to tell you is actually the most simple, which is linear and angular way. And you can create any figure that you like in this way. So first of all, I'm going to create a very simple figure with this way, the linear and angular way, the linear and angular method. So first I'm going to start with the head, which obviously is going to be created as a circle. So I'm sketching a circle as the head. And then for the neck, I'm going to create these two lines. And then I'm going to work on the shoulders from here up to the upper body part, up to the end of the upper body part. I'm going to create lines. You see very easily. I've created my her and mid body part with my lines. Then I put these two over here, which are actually the knees. They are on the same way, on the same track. So then I'm going to create the calls. So the parts below the knees and then defeat. Just as easy as that. I've created a human figure. Okay? Then I'm going to add the arms in whatever shape that I like. This is a very beginner and easy way and a z method of creating a figure that if you don't have enough time for analyzing your figure, it's good for you to create it like this. For example, I want to sketch another figure which is running. Again, I say this is the simplest and easiest method of creating a figure. So first of all, I create the head, then I go for the shoulders and creating the upper body part. Up to the pelvis. I continue the shape of the hand and the arm. I don't want to work on it too much for now. I create the rest of the body. From here would be the bottom of the pelvis and starting of the leg. And he goes at knees, which is bent because, well, our figure is running, as I said, very easily. I could have created and sketch. They're running figure C, just some lines and angles, as it is said in the name of our method. So I'll complete the arms as well. And I'm going to create the other one in this way. So just as easy as that, very easy and very simply, we're just considering the angles we could have created. Actually, we have created a running figure, or we can also do dancing style. I mean, I can create a figure which is dancing. I want to sketch another figure, which the head is a bit tilted so one shoulder is upper than the other one. Then I come all the way down to the stomach. This shoulder goes on as well. And I come all the way down. This is my upper body part and I'm going to create the legs. Here we go. The knees and the foot. And the second leg and foot would go there. In this angle. Again, you see the head is tilting and one leg is more in front and one leg is more in the back. It's more behind than the other one. Then I create the arm and even the hand. And I create the other arm on this side, obviously So here we go. Just as easy as that I have sketched. And another figure. This is my third finger with the same method. And I'm going to create even another one. So for my fourth finger, again, I'm going to start with the head. That's the way I start all of my fingers. This time my finger is in a three phases view. Very easily and very beautifully. I can create these kinds of figures very fast. You just need to know the lines and the angles. Now will be enough. C. And the second leg goes here, the food goes here. As you can see, this one is a woman. So God, some breasts for her. And the second arm starts from here and goes all the way to the back. There. She goes. Okay. Just playing with the head a bit. And this was my fourth, my fourth finger, which I've created very fast. I'm going to create another figure for the last figure of this episode. So ahead. As usual, the neck and the upper body part. This is his back, his bottom, and this is his bag. This is the arm coming out. And the hand. This is the other arm and the hand. The bottom of my fingers over here and the legs, of course. You can see how fast I'm sketching all of these figures with this method. It's very easy. Again, I say it's fast and it's for the time that you don't actually have the time to analyze your model too much. As you can see, my fourth finger is in the side view. This would be the leg which is on the other side of the body, choosing the behind as well. So here we go. All done here. Just these Yazdi, as simple as that. We could have created v, could create five figures with linear and angular method very fast. Follow me in the next episodes. 4. Drawing male body figures by analysis method: Hello again. Welcome to a new episode of sketching figures with me. Okay. As I told you before, we have learned to sketch primary sketches of women and men figures. Now we want to add more details into our basic and primary figures. I want to actually do this right figure for you. I wanted to create this right figure for you. Now, first of all, I should analyze my model. See, the head of my figure is an oval. It's obvious. Of all figures are actually the size of one head. So as the size on one head, the neck comes down from the beginning to the end of the shoulders. I mean, from right to left of the shoulder. I will place a line like this. And of course until the end of the chest bone, chest area and the ribs. I'll create another line. Because my finger is in a three-phase his view. I should have to create this upper body part of my finger like this. I should analyze it like this tomb. Then from the middle part, from the center I come down until the pelvis. And for the pelvis, I'm going to consider a cube, which again because my finger isn't a three faces view my cube is going to be in the three phases we use as well. Alright? The legs are exactly the same as I've taught you in our previous sketches. First, I will determine the joints and then I connect them all together. Do the same thing for the ankles. Just as I told you before. Okay. And then for the arms, I'll do the same thing. First of all, I determined the elbows. From the shoulder, I create a line to the elbows and another line from the elbow to the wrist. Just as easy as that. First, if you analyze your figure, it would be easier for you to sketch it yourself. In the first system, I'm going to transfer the analyze of my finger into my paper. I'm going to start with my HB pencil and I will start with my fingers head. I sketch an oval. The upper part of my 0 wall is bigger and the lower part is smaller. It looks like an egg. As I told you before. The neck is actually as long as a head. Of course, as wine as the head. I'll draw it like that. Then. I should create this part of the chest area. I should draw it. And I'm going to do it exactly as I've analyzed it. Because my figure is standing in a three faces view. I can see less shoulder on this side and more shoulder on this side. The width of the shoulder is more on this side because of the angle he's extending. And so from here, I draw this curved line for the end of the chest area, the bottom of the ribs. And I will draw his spine that I actually show it with a line. Then I'm going to draw and sketch his pelvis that, as I told you, we're going to show it as a cube, three phases cubed. And then for the legs, again, I'm going to determine the placement of the nice. You can see over here, one of my legs is totally straight and standing firm I place it straight and then I get help from this leg in order to create the other languages. Elizabeth bent on the knee. So my second knee, because it's see, it's bent a bit. It's a bit upper than this one. So I'll consider an angle like that and this would be my second Ni. Okay. Then the leg itself coming down, bringing them down to draw the ankles. Alright. Half their data. I'm going to start with the arms. They would start from here coming down. This would be my elbow. And if I come all the way down, I would have my wrist and my hand. I'll do the same thing on this side. I'm just transferring my analyze finger onto my own paper. Alright, now I'm going to add more details in the next step. I'm going to start from the top. So I'm going to shape the neck and actually attach it to the shoulders. This would be the left shoulder. Okay. Then I'm going to start with my models chest and I'm going to do it with a darker pencil so you can say it more vividly. First, I should sharpen my pencil and here I can continue. This area would be my chest, basically his chest, but you know what I mean? And over here, I bring it down. This is the bottom of the ribs. The ribs and the end of the chest. Over here, I have the stomach area. Or as we've said before, here is actually the six packs of our model. So I'm going to draw great apps for him. Creating six packs. I'm just easily drawing and sketching here. Then I want to work on the lower body part of my figure. Here goes his pelvis, the bottom, and the front. This is the end of his lower body part and of the pelvis. Then I have to consider the legs. First of all, I'm going to draw and sketch the leg which is a straight up and firm. Then I get to the knees and I'll bring it down till the ankle. And as you can see him kinda shaping some muscles as I'm coming down. Just with my lines, I am determining the muscles that he has because he has a muscular body. So he has lots of muscles as he had apps. And I'm going to start my second leg from behind this one. Here we get to the knee Creating get all the way from here. And again to calve all the way to the foot. See, as I'm working with my darker pencil and going on my main lines and adding details. You can actually see my model right here. And at last we are going to execute the arms. So over here I come down because again, my body is in a three-phase says view. We can not see much of this arm, but they can see a part of it. I get to the elbow and I come down until I hit the wrist and I'll create the hand, even some fingers. And for this side, It's the same thing. First of all, I have to create the arm. I have this sketch and draw the arm. And then I'll do the same thing as I've always done before. Bring down to the wrist and create the hint. Alright, here we go. At last, I'm going to do to head. And of course, one ear on the left side, which can be seen in our models. So I place it in my model two. Alright, here again, you see how easy we could create finger based on analyzing our model. First, we have Ashley transfer that analyzed mono into our own paper. And we've created our own man figure. Just adding some more details. And just like that, it's finished. So you can actually do the same way. You can use the same method in order to sketch and draw all different kinds of figures. It's a very, very simple and easy way for creating all different kinds of figures. That first we've analyzed our model and then we've transferred are analyzed model. And we added the details 5. Drawing the male body from another direction by analysis method: Hello again and welcome to another episode. All the sketching in drawing figures with me. This episode, I'm going to analyze the second figure and apply it to my papers. So exactly like the previous episode, I start my work from the head. I create a circle. I draw the neck and I'm going to draw a line for the shoulders. As you can see, my figure is in the front view, so I'm going to apply it and draw it in the front view. Alright. Then I create a line as the spine. It's actually a bit a curved. So then again, the pelvis of my man's figure, again as the shape of a cube. Then the knees would be determined like this. Then I would have the ankles and defeat. In this figure. I'll do the same thing as I did in the previous ones. What was that? It was actually looking at your figure the simplest way possible and apply it the simplest way possible. That's why we analyze our figure like this. So after analyzing my model, I'm going to transfer this analyzed model onto my own paper and draw it. First of all, I'm going to create the head. Pay attention that the head is in this direction. So I apply it and created in this direction. I draw it here. Then I will draw the lines for the neck. And then I want to draw and sketch the shoulders. You see it has an angle like that with the angle of the head. So my second line, which is my shoulder line, will be placed in this angle. It's a bit more strength. And as you can see, the width of my shoulders are as the size of two heads. If I want, I can put two heads on the left, one on the left, and one on the right. So I consider this as the size of one head on each side. As you can see, my spine is a bit curved, so create a curved line for the spine area. Then from here, I'm going to Determine the end of the chest area. And when I connect an attach these lines together, I'll have my chest. Okay. So I'll do is up to here. And then I'm going to have an oval as the stomach and a cube as the pelvis. It's his lower body part. Then I'm going to work on the legs. First leg would be in this direction. You see? It's completely straight and in 90 degrees. So first I'm going to consider a line in the 90 degrees and then I apply the leg in this angle, I will have the knee over here. And then this lower part, I have the ankle. Okay. There goes a second leg. See? It has a bit of an angle with my second leg. It's a bit curved. And I place it on this curved line. It's a tire, not too much, just a bit. And then I place it like this. Here goes the ankle. Okay. I'm also going to work on the arms. This would be my elbow. My right elbow comes from here and the wrist is over here, right next to the pelvis. And that would be the hand. I'm going to draw the second arm. The elbow is over here and The wrist is here on the chest. Okay. Now I'm going to detail this work. First of all, I'm going to shape the neck the way that I'm seeing in my model. So first of all, I should shape the neck. Then I would determine the chest shape. The ribs can also be seen. So I'm actually applying all the details that I can see that I'll continue the waist and the stomach area will be determined. That over here again, we will have six bags. Okay. Over here we have our pelvis, which is actually the bottom part of the man's body. Here's the top of the pelvis and here's the bottom. Then I'm going to work on the legs. First, I'm going to draw this leg, the left leg. I'll connect the top part of the leg to the knee as the same time I'm creating the muscles as well. With my lines determining some muscles. Over here I have the cow health and I have the bottom part of the leg. Attach it to the ankle and foot. Okay. Then I'm going to work on this one. The other leg, the right leg is going to be exactly the same way. I'll attach my lines to the knee and bring it down to the ankle. Here it goes. The ankle and foot. See. I've sketched my man's figure. I drew every part. I need it. Now the only part left is the arms. So I'll start so I'll bring it to all the way down to the elbow. And from here, I can move towards tourist area. And at last I can have the hand place it over here. Okay. I would also have to create the arm on this side. I get to the elbow area and this part of the hand, this part of the arm is actually coming up to the chest. Here we have the wrist and here I'll place the hand almost on the neck. Let me erase this area so it would look vivid for you and it would be clear for you where to hand actually is. Okay. So I'm also going to work on the details of this is Sketch. Get everything the way I want. And as we can see very easily, we could sketch and draw our second figure with analyzing our model Now, with the same method of analyzing the models, I'm going to draw some more figures for you. I'm only going to create the base, base of the figure, and I'm not going to go into the details anymore. For example, imagine a figure which is standing. For example, standing facing to the side. Let me tell you how we are going to sketch that. I start with the head, the neck is its own place. Then I'm going to sketch and draw the chest. I'm drawing it like this because my model is on this side view. This would be my models chest, the chest area, the bag, the spine. This is the pelvis area. This is the shoulder area. Here would be the elbow, the wrist, and the hand. Can determine the arm like that. And the other arm, for example, is coming from the back, coming out from the back. You can actually create your figure in any way that is in your mind. You can sketch the base of your figure with analyzing the model. And then you can add the details as you like. To imagine that my figure is walking, so I'm going to place one leg in the back. Leg should be behind and the other one should be in front of that. So the knee and the foot. This would be the front leg. The knee. And here comes the foot. See, now my figure is walking so very easily and fast like that. You can sketch and draw a walking Figure. Just remember to create the basis of your Figure. The way you want in your head, the way you imagine it with analyzing the model with geometrical shapes. And then you can add as much details as you like into your own work. For my third figure, I'd like to sketch and draw a figure dancing. This time to head is a circle because the head is facing down. Because the head is actually facing down. You cannot see the neck. And just after the head, I'm going to draw the chest. Syria. See the head is tilting down to head is facing down so you can not see the neck. Now, I'm going to show the bend back with a curve, the spine, you see this is the spine. In his dance posterior does Fine, is in this position. And the back is a bit bent. That's what I've showed over here with this line. Then I and draw the pelvis and then I want to draw the legs. One of them would be here to the knee and all the way down to the foot. And the other one would come down from here. It's kid me toward inside a little. Now I'm going to create and draw the arms. I first determined joints, the shoulders and the elbows. And then I'll connect all of them together to draw the arms and hands. See, this is my third figure dancing in this posture. It's just very easy to create. The analyze method is one of the simplest and easiest ways to draw figures. I hope you've enjoyed it. Follow me in next episode. 6. Cylindrical method in human figure drawing: Hello and welcome to a new episode of drawing in a sketching figures with me. Alright. In this episode, again, I'm going to teach you another method to draw your figures. In this method, we are going to learn how we can make a figure into a 3D shape. We can actually make 3D body parts. Or it has another name day also call it the cylinder method. So it means that from one joint to another joint, we're going to create a cylinder for each part. For example, imagine that I have a man figure here. First of all, obviously, I'm going to start with the head. Okay. Then I'm going to work on his neck, which looks like a cylinder as I told you. So then I'm going to get the shoulder. And as you can see, I'm making it with volume. So I'm drawing good fit volume. Then I come down up to here to create the chest area. And in here the upper body part, and this is the middle part of the body. I have this spine here. And again, I kinda create a cylinder for his pelvis area. Same. The difference is that I'm trying to draw all the parts with a volume with them, with a dimension with them. See, let me erase this area, making it better and cleaner. See this area as the pelvis. Here would be the beginning of our legs. We have two joints over here which are actually binning the beginning parts of the two legs. Sorry. For this lower area. Again, I'm going to draw a cylinder in the angle and in the direction that I want, For example this way. And then I'll continue them until the next joint, which is my knee. Then again for the lower part of the leg, for the Celts. Again, I'm going to draw some kind of a cylinder that again, I close up here. And at last I'll have my foot in this area. I'll do the same thing. You're saying as I said in the beginning, it's also called the cylinder method or the 3D method because I'm going to draw all the body parts in a 3D way, making them more volume and dimension. Actually say that this method is a bit more complex and more professional based on the other methods that I've taught you in previous episodes. Comparing to them. This is more professional. I can say maybe a bit difficult or a bit complex. Comparing to them. For the arms, I'll do the same thing. I'll continue down to the elbow and the hand. The same procedure will be followed for the other arm, the left one, trying to draw a cylinder and going down over here, right up to the hand. Okay? This is also a very good method. You can use it to draw your own figures. Bit more volume and dimension. With my darker pencil, I'm going to highlight my main lines. So you can see the main shape of my figure. See, here I go all the way down to six packs. Then ending parts, starting the pelvis right away, then continuing with the legs. Kinda have more volume to it. I'll do the same thing for the other side, for the right side. Here we go. Then into continuous of that. I would have the ankles and defeat. So as you've learned up to here, you can draw and sketch any kinds of figures in any kinds of different postures with two different methods, very easily and very fast. One of my students have problems drawing arms. Therefore, in next episode, I'm going to explain the arms more. Going to tell you how you can draw them specifically. Might consider that as a separate episode. So this method was also easy, maybe a bit more complex compared to the previous ones. So here we go. This is our man figure. There are 3D method. I hope you've enjoyed it, follows in the next episodes. 7. Drawing different hand positions: Hello and welcome to a new episode of figure is sketching with me. One of the problems that my students have in sketching figures is actually drawing the arm. So I'm going to tell you how you can draw different arms. We have some different models over here and first, we're going to analyze them together. This is a very normal shape of an arm. This was the shoulder area obviously. And this part would be the shoulder area which I've created with a circle. Then I have the elbow area, and then I have the wrist area. All of them as circles connected to each other. You've already learned debt. Now, I want to transfer this same shape into my Paper. See, over here, let me take this one. Over here. I have the shoulder area. I would have the shoulder joint, which is a circle. And then I'm going to connect the shoulder joint to the elbow joint with a line. And then with an angle like this, I come up and I'll have my wrist. Ok. Now we are going to work on the muscles of our arm. This is obviously the prominent part of our shoulder muscle. Then this is actually our bicep. The bicep muscle from here. It comes toward the body itself. From here, I'll come down a little and then from the elbow would occur all connected to this inner part. So I'll make a distance. And from here I start sketching the second part of the arm. Sketching and drawing the muscles for the second part of the arm below the elbow. And I'll continue up to here in the wrist and in there is area. I'll just turn it back. Because as you can see, the wrist is bent on, do the same thing for here. Then I'll work on the hand itself. See, you should consider the hand in this direction and in this way. This is up to this part of the hand. Without the fingers. It should look like a cube, a rectangle cubed. Then I will add the fingers and I'll consider it spent. So I have four fingers here. Again into continuous. I'll have four parts a bit below. So I can show the fingers. Then I erase the extra lines. And just as easy as you've seen right now, you can draw a beautiful arm with lots of muscles like this. So this is our hand, arm and hand. I want to consider this one for my second figure. Again, I determine the elbow, the shoulder, and the wrist. And I connect them all together with a line. You see how easy it is. There are just three circles and two lines connecting to each other. This is the basis of our Sketch. I'm going to transfer the analyze model into my papers. This would be the shoulder, I'll come down, this would be the elbow. And I go a little up, which goes the wrist. Now again, various slowly and considering all the muscles in all parts, I'm going to complete my arm here. I should consider each one of the muscles. From here, this muscle will finish and I'll go with the bicep, the second muscle. And from here, we will go to create the elbow. And the second part of the arm. See, this is the elbow bone. And from here I'll go toward this side, the shape of a muscle. And as you can see, he's hand is in the shape of a fist. I have four fingers here. I'll finish it and I'll add this part. Then with my sketching pencil, I highlight the main lines of my work. You see that it got so similar to the model. So all you need is a bit of time. Don't rush through it and just be more specific about each detail in your work. Here we go. So this is a second arm. Now I'm going to work on this figure. This arm that the fist is coming forward. This is the shoulder. This is my elbow. I'll connect them with a line, and here I have the wrist. So I'll draw the same thing on my paper. This would be the shoulder joint connecting it to the elbow and going up to draw the wrist joint. Okay. From here, I'm going to draw the muscles. From here, I go down. I'm following the lines exactly as I've seen my models, so don't worry about it, just follow the procedure. And of course, because the fist is coming forward, the fist is seen bigger. So I'll consider this part as the elbow. As I come up, it gets a bit thinner and smaller. But again, because the fist is coming forward, I shoot dry bigger. This is the part where I should draw the wrist. See my dear friends, again, we should consider this as a cube. So over here, I have a cube in this direction and in this way cube. And then I add the fingers on top of it. 123.4 is Alyssa create the finger lines for it. The bend shape of the fingers and duress. And over here we'll have the thumb. Here we go. And the bottom part of the fist. Okay. Then I'm going to erase extra lines with my answer is Eraser. So just like that, you can create a fist coming forward. Then it can I switch to my sketching pencil? I'm highlighting the main lines so you can see them better and more clear. Harry ago, going with the thumb and the rest of the four fingers. All right. Here I go. Now, let's work on a specific hand together this time. Again, in even working on a specific hand, you can use the analyzing methods. For example, first of all, I have a shape like this. I have four joints plus this area which was added. And then again, I can add the finger joints on it. I'll do the same thing on my paper. So you can use the same analyzing method even for smaller parts, like the hand itself specifically. So I consider it a shape like this. I consider four joints over here that I can pay attention to the shape of my fingers and place the joints the way that I want in their own placement. Okay, you see how easy it is. Now from here, I'm going to start drawing my first finger. Come up and I'll create it and drawing it on, do the same thing for the second finger. Coming up. This would be the third finger. Again. Same way. Coming down and the last finger, the fourth one. The little finger would go here. Okay. Then I'll add some details like curved areas and prominent areas that dense and the bumps. I even considered the nails on it. And coming all the way down, taking in more detail and better looking. Just as easy as that. We can even work on the smaller parts. When you want to even draw them a specific land separately. You can even spend more time on each one of these figures to add more details. But the basic COVID, degenerate shape of it is just that easy. So here it is. Alright. I hope that you've enjoyed this tutorial as much as you could and see you in next tutorials.
