Part 1 of the Fresh Eyes challenge:    • These 10 Shapes Unlock All of Figure ...  

In this second tutorial in the Fresh Eyes challenge we are bringing back the 3rd dimension. Drawing with 3D forms is intimidating at first. In this video, I cover all the simple 3D form ideas we are going to learn in days 6-10 of the challenge. This is an overview, but when you do the challenge, we will learn these ideas slowly and step by step.

We look at the ribcage egg, the pelvis pants, the ball head and the simple approach to shoulders based on things we can actually see. We also look at dealing with foreshortened limbs using cross contour lines.

There’s a lot to cover in this video, but sign up to the challenge and work through all these skills slowly with us across days 6-10.

Shout out to my wife Lucy for the awesome stop motion animation of woody the awful mannequin!

How the Fresh Eyes challenge works:
There are two tutorials here on YouTube - this is part 2 and part 1 is linked above.

When you make an account with the link at the top, you can access the 2D model and play around with it, trying to match the poses. Each day, you 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 start thinking about the ideas in this tutorial. We now switch to thinking in 3D. We will build on the ideas already developed but using simple 3D forms. Again on our website, there will be exercises each day on days 6-10, plus live sessions and extra explanations.
