- [Andrew] Hopefully you can see
what I'm talking about here.
Things to watch for.
This arm here is moving away.
So it's foreshortened, it will look thinner.
In this case, it's not.
Everybody see that?
That is parallel to your vision.
So in my skeleton, it's moving over that way,
and then all of a sudden,
the radius and the ulna will look a little longer,
they're also foreshortened.
This arm here is foreshortened towards you,
so the hand may look a little bigger.
Your rib cage is an egg shape, set at an axis, an angle.
Capture the egg shape first,
before you start doing any ribs.
You'll do the front ribs first,
and then you'll fill in in the back.
If you are doing skeletons in different positions,
rib cage, if it's facing you,
will be an upside down Valentine's day heart,
and as you move it, symmetrically it,
from symmetrical to asymmetrical, it will change dimension.
But from this view, it's a perfect egg shape set at an axis.
If the skeleton is bending over more, it's more collapsed.
If they're stretching out, if they're turning,
that egg shape will move on you.
Get a muscle lesson now, and I'm gonna go to the web,
I'm gonna move the webcam over, so just bear with me, okay?
We'll start here.
We can see, of course, the skull, facial muscles,
we talked about them last week,
and then this complexity of neck muscles.
Neck muscles, profile view.
Here we go.
The important neck muscles for structure
will be the sternocleidomastoid.
Sternum means it goes to the sternum,
one leg, and muscles oftentimes have more than one leg,
or foot, or connection point.
This is known as the superior insertion.
These are the inferior.
Inferior is usually lower on the structure of the human.
And some of your muscles will have as many as
seven or eight connections points.
So it's a split muscle.
It goes from the mastoid process to the sternum,
and the clavicle, clavicle is your collarbone.
From the front, if I can show you,
I may have to use a different image to show you this.
Well, okay, here we go.
Here's your sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Mastoid, sternum, clavicle, the same here.
Very interesting muscle.
It forms the neck, under contraction pulls the head
downward and inward.
It helps stabilize the head when it's used
in a symmetrical pattern or a symmetrical manner or other.
It's a very elegant muscle,
and it really does shape that curve in the neck
that comes into the body, pocket here.
And then this out here is your trapezius.
Oftentimes people think that it's just a cylinder
that ends here and then shoulders start, and they go out.
The neck actually buries itself into the torso, it has to,
so that when--
We have, look at the absurdity of this,
this is what's so beautiful about it.
Look how large the skull is.
Look how tiny that foot is.
Look how big that hand is.
So it's important that when you get to this,
that you compare body parts.
Do it before you do any shadow.
Shadow's like getting married, you're committed.
All right.
And there'll be a lot of foreshortening.
Now here's our guy full light.
All right, so we'll go back and that will be our lighting.
It'll be set up that way and we do have a wonderful,
kind of spooky, Halloween cast shadow.
You guys have a great week, love you.
Get some work done, bye now.
- Thank you, have a wonderful day.
(group says bye)
- Bye bye.
