Human Figures For Architectural Sketches Part 2 - Architecture Daily Sketches Video Lecture | Sketching: Enhance your Skills - Art & Craft

hey guys I'm back sorry it's been a
while I know Omar here for architecture
daily sketches and this week I'll be
doing another tutorial on human figures
now last year I did the first tutorial
on human figures it was a basic tutorial
for a very simple style of human figures
that are standing upright so this week
I'll explore that subject a bit more by
showing you guys how to draw specific
types of poses now if you like to see
the original tutorial and get a head
start on the basic pose you can click
the link here or below in the
description otherwise stay tuned guys so
for this week I thought I'll show you
guys how to do these three different
poses so like the previous tutorial it
was static upright standing figures
these are more dynamic like activity
poses and I chose these poses
specifically because sometimes I see
people having some difficulty drawing
these poses in a way that looks
convincing especially if the limbs are
kind of moving about like in the pose
going down stairs the anatomy is a bit
weird bit want out so anyways basically
I'm going to be doing two versions of
each of these poses
one male and one female the first pose
is a guy or girl coming up or down
stairs now for this one I'm going to
start out by doing an outline in pencil
and then I'll use I'll outline it using
ink
you
you
so here I've outlined the anatomy of the
human figure here just to give a clear
indication of how the anatomy goes into
making of a human figure because usually
I would only draw the outline because
that's usually enough since the human
figure is a stylized simplified version
of the human
so this is the male human figure going
down a flight of stairs and as you can
see I have only outlined pretty much
only the outside bits I only have these
little bits on the inside just to add
slight depth in the human figure and now
I'm going to draw the female version
so that's the first pose the second pose
will be just two guys or two girls
talking and walking
you
whenever I draw a human figure na like
in a group talking position I always
like to vary the position of their limbs
so you know the scene looks a bit
animated and usually when I draw it I
start with the head and then from the
head there's the neck and follows
through with the shoulders and then
usually for the arms I tend to just draw
an outline like that like a little bulge
there and there and then I would put in
like like a little triangle there and
that sort of suggests that he has his
arms in his pocket or something like
that
same goes for the legs so I would often
just draw straight down like that but
maybe just suggest some separation of
the limb like that really think boots
there
really big boots
you can even play around with
accessories like adding umbrellas or
hats if you notice the way that I drew I
usually drew the hair first and then I
finished it off with the shape of the
face then the neck I proceeded to
shoulders then the little lumps for the
arms and then I just continued straight
down block out the legs and that's about
it so that's two guys and two girls
talking and walking so for the next post
I'm going to do two guys and two girls
sitting on a bench
there you have it three dynamic human
poses male and female versions now I
would like to end the video by just
talking for a bit why human figures are
awesome and important for architectural
sketching and drawings like I mentioned
in the previous human figure tutorial it
helps to give a sense of scale to your
drawings like the size of your human
figures would give an idea to the viewer
of your drawings the relative size of a
building or an object or whatever
standing next to your human figure
then it shows function this is where the
current tutorial comes in if your
drawings are devoid of human figures
they will look empty less lively ball so
you might not be able to krill clearly
articulate some of your intentions
regarding your design we use human
figures to show as an example how space
within a building or an object might be
used like for example this section is
populated by human figures going about
their daily activities waking up going
to dinner going downstairs enjoying
company also as an example here I have a
drawing of the famous LC 4 lounge chair
by Le Corbusier now without human
figures to illustrate how it functions
we as the viewer might not understand
that the chair can accommodate many
different sitting positions for example
it can accommodate a more upright
seating position and you can even
accommodate a more horizontal sitting
position more for napping we might not
even know that you can even take the
chair off of the table legs and use it
as a rocking chair so yeah these little
guys are really helpful and also it's an
opportunity for you guys to express your
individuality or sense of humor with
many different styles or funny poses
that you can think of it really is up to
you and you know is these little
opportunities for us to have fun in
otherwise perhaps rigid circumstances I
mean these are just three variations of
poses we can explore so much more with
that in mind I like to ask if you guys
would be interested to explore more
human figure poses in future tutorials
please drop us a comment below and we'll
go through them to see if you guys are
interested you can also comment your
suggestions for future videos and also
any architecture related questions and
we will try our best to get back to you
we'd like to mention that we actually
have made these drawings available for
download as a reference if you guys want
to practice or use them for other
creative pursuits you just have to
