hey guys, it's mike, and in this video we're going to be drawinga fighting scene and i'm going to show you the principles iuse when i'm composing a scene of two charactersfighting. so i started off drawing a rectangle, that'sgoing to be the frame of our scene i'm going to start off with dividing the paperinto thirds, or this frame into thirds, and i'm going to draw one of our characterson the right third the idea with this scene is going to be
one character is going to be leaping at theother, kind of, catching him off guard and it's goingto be an up-shot so if you saw the video of drawing charactersin perspective in an up-shot, you'll see some of the tips and techniquesthat we used in that video. so i'm starting with the head, and tilting the shoulders slightly, curvingit because it's an up-shot and here we have the general guideline forthe up-shot. remember, it gets more narrow towards thetop. using simple shapes, not focusing on details,
this stage of the drawing is all about findingthe pose and the best way to do that is to use simpleshapes i have the head torso and hips the head is going to be much smaller thannormal and the hips are going to be much bigger thannormal below the hips i draw the legs and you can already see the angle that i'mafter he's slightly tilted and those horizontallines of the shoulders and the waist are curved
like sad faces because it's an up-shot. so next i'm going to draw the shoulder thatis closest to us with a curve and normally the elbow, whichi'm going to draw with a circle, normally it's at the bottom off the rib cage but i'm going to draw it slightly higher forthis view because of the perspective. and for the elbow i just use a circle, verysimple. and now coming out at an angle,
i'm going to draw the forearm, just two lines really easy and for the hand, it's going to be a square or a rectangle and he's going to be holdinga sword and so i'm going to draw the hilt and the sword's going to be angled towardsthe upper left. i'm not even worried about what kind of swordthis is or what the details of it are i'm just worrying about the position
and that's all i'm focused on, is the position. to make things easy, oh, first i'm drawing in his other arm again, circle for the elbow and getting more narrow as we head towardsthe wrist because this arm is going away from us. and just like in my videos on hands, i just try to find the palm shape first and i'm just placing that for the hand.
for his head, i'm going to erase it and redraw it because i want to make sure thatthe head is smaller than normal so we have that perspectivegoing for us. and i also want to point out that his left arm, the top part of the arm is shorter than the forearm on the other side, it's the opposite the forearm is smaller, shorter length than the top part of the arm.
so now for the other character, i'm going to draw him on the other third atan angle and for this scene to have a dynamic feel, i want to create depth, so this character is going to be smaller and i drew his head and tilted his shoulders. he's also going to be viewed in an up-shot so just like the first character, i'm going to draw in his shoulder.
this time, i'm going to use a big circle forhis shouler. zoom in a little big so you guys can see it and he's going to be mid swing so he's going to be coming out all epic-like,mid swing so his arm is going to be coming across hisbody using a circle for his elbow, and now his forearm and a square for his hand that is grabbing the sword. so now i'm going to place the sword,
just like the other character, thinking about the angle that i want it to have. and i'm leaving room for the other fist which i'm going to place with another square right there, and for that arm you just drawit behind the first arm, down to the elbow and coming back up towards the shoulder. so after this we'll move on to drawing thelegs. the idea for this guy is that he's going tobe
leaping at this guy in the foreground kind of like, surprising him or something. so i'm drawing his legs behind that sword down to his knee. since he's leaping, his lower leg is goingto be... you're not going to see it so it's just hisknee and then another shape for his foot and then his other leg is going to go behindthe sword down to his knee
and then, just to vary it a little bit, you're going to see some of his lower leg, right there, and below that is his foot. this stage of the drawing is all about using these simple shapes, right? really easy geometric shapes, circles forjoints and what i like about it is it's vary easy to erase and find new poses and you haven't really invested a lot of time
into the drawing imagine if you spent maybe ten minutes or twenty minutes drawing an arm and it's looking great and there's a lot of detail in it but you continue your drawing and you realize that, hey, maybe this positionisn't right. and you want to change it but there's a partof you that's like, "man, i spent so long on thatdrawing..." and it's almost a lose-lose situation.
the pose isn't strong, in your mind, but youdon't want to change it. but with this method that i often do, i usesimple shapes and i haven't invested a lot of time in it and there's no detail so i'm not really worriedabout erasing. so when i'm searching for the pose, like i'mdoing here, it's not really heartbreaking to erase it. so here i'm trying to find the correct angleof the sword and just to capture that feeling of-- he'sin mid motion. it's just a square and two lines for eachforearm
and i just keep erasing it, keep changingthe angle of the forearm and the sword, until i find the correct position. and the same thing goes for the legs. it's maybe circles for the knees, you can see that i'm just trying to find theangle and it's really easy to redraw and so this drawing [laughs], i really hadto struggle with this sword arm for this guy, and it'sreally frustrating and a struggle some times but don't settlefor something
when you know it's not working because you may think that adding detail will savethe drawing but the pose is really the most important thing, and so here i realize that it starts to feelbetter when the arms or at least the fists are furtheraway from his head so it feels like he's swinging and the feeling is what i was after. so i'm pretty happy with this position andnow i'm going to zoom out and you guys can see
the shot, the scene that we have, and evenwith just simple shapes and anatomy, the scenehas, in my mind, captured that feeling that i wasafter of an up-shot, we have depth between the frontguy and the back guy and the guy in the back is in mid motion of his swing. so what i'm doing now is [laughs] i'm erasing everything and starting all over,no, what i'm doing now is i'm using my kneadederaser
and i'm just gently erasing the hard lines so that what i have left on the paper is whati like to call "the ghost of an image" what this does now is it gives me a solidfoundation for the next stage which is going to be adding in all the detail. so now i'm going to into a timelapse and i'mjust going to be adding in armor for both of these characters and i guess what i wanted to talk about was
just the concept of drawing in different stages and this is something that i learned in college that i hadn't done prior to school and so the first stage that we did was, remember, it was just about finding the pose we don't think about detail, we just thinkabout simple shapes and the position of characters often, i like to think of it like we're directorsfor a movie and our characters are the actors and we'retelling them
"okay, maybe you stand there or when you swing,swing like this, or maybe stand more to the right or more towardsthe left or closer or farther" and we're constantly moving the characteraround until we have that framing and positions ofcharacters that we want. at that point, we don't really want to bethinking about detail because the details, they don't... i meanthey matter but at that stage they don't matter. what matters is finding that pose and thatcamera angle
that's going to give you that feeling thatyou're after and then once you add in all the detail, it'slike icing on the cake and you have a strong pose to back everythingup. so that's what i'm doing in this stage...i'm sort of... i did a video for evan at the cartoonblockand in it i was sort of talking about these conceptsand i said that once you reach this stage, the second stagewhere you add in all the details, it's like you're chilling and it's like smooth sailing because you canturn off
that part of your brain that is worrying aboutthe pose and you can now focus on all the detail so when i'm going through the armor here i'm not really worried about oh, is the armin the correct position? and stuff like that because in the last step,the last stage, i've already decided that, yeah it's workingand i like where it is so i'm just focusing onthe armor and the detail. and this part is really a lot of fun. you can just focus on drawing texture anddetail and
a lot of my inspiration for this armor wasfrom miyazaki's nausicaa. some of you know miyazaki. he did princessmononoke and castle in the sky and spirited away and before he became ananimation director he actually made a manga called nausicaa andit's really epic it's super epic, quite brutal too but it'samazing. and so i've been reading that recently and i'm getting a lot of my inspiration fromthe armor that he drew in that series. so this guy near to us, i'm thinking morelike...
he's more barbaric. he's got sort of a samuraiinspired armor and he's going to be weilding a heavy sword. and i'm going to try and contrast that withthe guy who has leaped out at him and caught him off guard. this guy is going to be wrapping up prettysoon and we'll get drawing on the second guy. but what i like about miyazaki's manga ishe uses a lot of cross-hatching and a lot of texturein his drawing that i don't really see nowadays but wheni work on my own story
and my own manga, those are the things thati'm going to want to try and add. so now i'm working on the guy who is leapingout at the first character and i'm thinking thathe's going to be... i'm trying to make his armor different thanthe guy in the front so he has your typical knight armor but i'mgoing to give him a breast plate and on the breast plate i'mgoing to give him some kind of insignia, like maybe it's aneagle or a dragon and then i thought, maybe i'll give him dragonscalearmor which would be very different than the frontguy and
maybe kind of cool. so i'm having fun justdrawing in all the detail and when i get to his face, i wanted to mentionthat recently i had a request someone gave me, to do a character screamingand i was going to have this guy screaming butthen i thought that giving him a mask and a hood would be moremenacing and more mysterious, not trying to be lazyor anything but i just thought it would be more fun todraw so screaming coming in the future. now i'm working on that crazy... those twofists
that were grabbing that sword and i'm notworried at all because i solved it in the last stage and now i canjust worry about the details of the sword. i actually looked up a lot of swords fromfinal fantasy just to get inspired and get some ideas fordifferent swords so this guy is going to have... i guess it'slike a saber. it's a light weapon. it's fast. and that's going to contrast with the guywho is in front of us who's going to be weilding more of your typicalfinal fantasy
humungous sword, sort of looks like what chefsuse to chop vegetables. not sure what you call that. uhhh... whatdo you call that? that big rectangle knife? if you guys know, leave a comment and letme know. so this drawing is wrapping up and hopefullyyou guys can see i guess, the process i use and the way, thetechniques that i use when i'm composing a scene-- it's all aboutthe idea first. what you're trying to capture, and then, usesimple shapes simple anatomy to find the pose because thepose
is really the most important thing and then once you find the pose, you gentlyerase it to leave a ghost to be your foundation forall the detail that you're going to add and that's goingto be the icing, what's really going to make your drawing sing and really bring it all together. and with that, i will wrap up this video guys. so just wanted to say thanks for watching,subscribing, and -liking- the video. it really helps me to get my videos out thereto more people
so i really appreciate it and i will see youguys next time. take it easy!
