WARNING!!!!
THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION HAS BEEN CREATED PRIMARILY AS ENTERTAINMENT! Thus not all points made in this program are to be taken serious. Which areas you do take into serious consideration is entirely up to YOU!!

APPROACHES TO DRAWING
![Page 4: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PREPARATION
Before you go on ahead and just start drawing there are many factors one should consider
Drawing requires a well trained body, mind and soul!
Drawing is actually more dangerous than it lets on, here are a few things you may want to consider before you pick up that pencil
![Page 5: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
PHYSICAL CONDITION
Many may not know this, but drawing requires intense rigorous physical fitness, not just for control and stamina but also safety
Here are some prerequisites you should achieve before drawing:
Bench Press : 200 pounds
Squat: 300 pounds
A mile run under 6 minutes
Beat Ninja Gaiden in 10 minutes
![Page 6: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
EXERCISE: WORKOUTS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR DRAWING BODYDrawing requires every single muscle your body has so here
are some exercises you should always do as a warm up to drawing :
100 push ups a day
100 sit ups a day
500 wrist curls with 50 pound dumbbells
A mile run
Fight a bear
Punch through concrete
Defeat Gravity
![Page 7: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TOOLS OF DRAWING: THE SERIOUS STUFFConsider the kind of drawing you’re doing:
A Sketch A Lengthy Drawing
![Page 8: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SKETCH
Sketches tend to be our quick drawings we do on a whim
• These are good for actual warm ups to more time consuming drawings
• But they also function a good measure of your own drawing intuition
• Here’s where you can see what you can draw with relatively little set up or thought
• You can also think of these as subjects that are relatively in your comfort zone
• Ideas for more refined drawings can be inspired from these
![Page 9: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MOVING TO LONGER DRAWINGS
Longer drawings tend to take more time not only in the drawing of the picture but also in preparation.
Here are tools to consider using when engaging in this kind of drawing
• Thumbnails
• References
• Studies
![Page 10: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
THUMBNAILS
These are smaller sketches used to set up composition of a drawing
They are good for placing objects in the drawing
![Page 11: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
REFERENCES
Images taken from reality or other material to shape a particular portion of the drawing
Also good practice for sketching as well
![Page 12: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STUDIES
A Series of sketches on a particular aspect of the drawing
If there is a particularly challenging or important portion of a drawing this can be used to practice that particular portion
![Page 13: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
THE THREE MODES OF DRAWING: MODE 1 Mode 1: Recreational (Calm)
Just draw whatever you want
Multitask
A nice way to experiment
![Page 14: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MODE 2: SERIOUS
Mode 2: Serious (determined)
The longer drawing
No distractions
Challenging oneself
![Page 15: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MODE 3: YOU ARE A WEAPON OF MASS CREATION !!Mode 3: Assault Mode (Intensity to the MAX!)
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!
Be sure friends and loved ones are cleared from the area
![Page 16: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
EXERCISES THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HELP…You can challenge yourself in many ways to help improve your
drawings
• Draw subjects you’re not accustomed to
• Draw on a bus to work on control
• Draw with material you’re not used to
• If you work small try working large ‘
• If you work large try working small
• Find a worthy rival and challenge them to a drawing death match
• Take drawings you’ve done in the past and draw them again
• Draw fan art to see how you interpret other artist’s work

HUMAN ANATOMY
![Page 18: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
UNDERSTANDING ANATOMY
A figure drawing is reflective of how the artist understands the human body
What features do we choose to give attention to, and what do we simplify
![Page 19: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WAYS TO STUDY HUMAN ANATOMY
Books:
Anatomy books
How to books
Take a Figure Drawing Class:
Sessions
Websites
![Page 20: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SIMPLIFYING THE HUMAN FIGURE
Breaking down the human structure:
Use of basic shapes to structure the figure
Gesture Drawing: Drawings that quickly capture weight, movement and tension in the human figure
![Page 21: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CONTOUR
Line/Outline
Complex Simplicity
Curves
![Page 22: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TONE
Use of Light Values to push and pull features of the body
Understanding of how light travels over the surface of the body
![Page 23: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PARTS AND THE WHOLE
The Human Body is comprised of many recognizable parts
• Head
• Torso
• Hips
• Arms
• Legs
Not to mention each of these parts have their own subsection
How does one create a singular body out of these distinct features?
![Page 24: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GOOD EXERCISE
Take your favorite comic artist
Study how they approach these problems
What do they emphasize
What do they simplify
Can you identify what they consider the most important features of the body
How do they compare to your own
Do this with lots of artists you know
![Page 25: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CRUEL REALITY
Realistically speaking:
• Understanding the human body in drawing takes years
• Drawing requires an intuitive understanding
• Even if you logically understand how drawing the figure is done it must be carved into your muscle memory to achieve results
![Page 26: Human Anatomy/Drawing Methodology/Manchu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102509/554a00b5b4c905e56c8b4fee/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BUT THEN AGAIN…
Remember that drawing is a representation of reality through the use of mark and tone
• In the end you’re not trying to replicate the human body
• You are aiming to create a representation that is recognizable to others
• This is what gives us the degree of variation in style
• Everyone sees the figure differently
• Take what you consider to be the most important parts of the figure and refine those features
• Drawing is a continuous process, you will discover new things all the time

STEP 2:REMOVING
Remove any unnecessary features such as hair and ears (you can keep the hair if you think it makes it manlier)
