Hey guys, Ed here and I'm with jelly. And this is our monster number seven unit. Whoo. That's right. I've come with an amazing name of monster number seven. But as usual, I think Joey is gonna one up me.

What's What's your name for this guy? grabby Remy? Uh, yeah, okay, I kind of see he's an angry dude, he looks like an angry dude. Right? Um, let's look at some basic shapes on ramie first, and then see what we think about it, we can see we've got this kind of rounded bottom and then almost an A bullet or an egg on top right. So if I was to draw that off to the side here, it'd be this rounded bullet, bottom rather and then this rounded egg up top right.

Like I said, it kind of looks like a bullet to me if I was to draw this in the middle, you know, it looks like it could be a bullet, right? Okay, we've got that. But then there's a whole lot more going on. And you can see how much more complicated these monsters are as we go through the course. Right? Yeah.

We've got a hand here, a hand here, a big old banana foot here and another banana foot there. So why don't we do that off to the side here. We'll draw one hand here. One hand here. A big old banana foot here and another. Well, I guess they look more like eggplants.

Yeah. Okay. So that's roughly our figure, right? You know, these are the basic shapes that we're looking at here. This bullet in the middle circles for the hands. And these banana feet.

If we want to, we can kind of use almost that stickman thing to connect them right if I want to put a knee here and a leg and a knee there, right? If I want to use the elbows here, put the elbows up top here. would go up to the elbow up to the elbow into the body into the body. Right You know, um yeah, hopefully by now like I'm you shouldn't have gone on to the monsters course unless you did the basics course. And then the basics course we started to learn about that simplified stickman right, you know changing in the points of articulation. Well now we can start to apply that more to these monsters and giving them some points of articulation.

Yeah. Okay. So he's starting to look a little bit like our little stick man, right? How's yours looking? Ah, pretty good. Good enough.

Not that bad. Right. Okay, so um, I was sketching in orange to begin with, but I want to now do it in black. I think the first thing I'm going to do is the mouth I like to kind of center the mouth where I wanted and so it all it is is little kind of half moon and I'm going to do this jagged teeth in the middle there. Okay. You can change it if you want to try to think of a good emotion for this.

But I'm gonna stick to this guy because there's a lot The things going on, right? Yeah, I think I'll do that. Okay, so I've got the mouth. Then I've got one eye coming off of the mouth. And another eye coming off of that. And I've kind of got the the pupils of the eyes being all weird on the inside here, right?

The eyebrow above this eyebrow above. Okay, I'm kind of following it. Not doing too bad with it. I come down, put the big hang of the lip on this side and the big hang of the lip on this other side. Right. Actually, I think he's following the model.

Not bad so far right? I'm going to do the top of the head. It comes down to Dilip going to do the top of the head comes down on the other side down to the lip. Okay, yeah. Now I got a choice of which direction I wanted to kind of take this in. Or which which I think is first right like I'm going to do the ear because I've got these big floppy ears.

On either side. They look like Shrek ears kinda and make sure to have the you know, the stability. of the lobe. So it kind of makes sense a little bit, right? There we go. Okay.

And behind that, I've got the base of the horns. So you can kind of draw a base, and then draw the horn coming up and back down. Horn coming up and back down. Does that make sense? This is kind of like where the horn roots out of or something. And you could draw these little circles or conference lines as they follow the movement of the horn, the pattern of the horn, right.

Okay, not bad. Um, why don't we go down low before we do the hands and stuff right. I'll put this bottom part in and it's going to come down into this area. We're going to come down from here into the nominee. On each side come down the leg and into a nominee. This one will come on inside.

This one will come on the inside. Then the kind of calf comes down, calf comes down into the heel into the heel. Now how you want to draw the feet is up to you, you could put claws on them or whatever, I would bring the shin, the front part of the leg down like this. Why don't we do the same as in the drawing a little bit have big bubble toes. Okay. So I want to have a big bubble toe, big bubble toe, big bubble toe kind of comes under, and then comes like this.

We're going to come on this side again. big bubble toe, big bubble toe, big bubble toe. And then it kind of comes under and like this, if you want to, you can add like little nails into it or something like that, you know? Put toenails on him. Not that with the hand. Why don't we do the hand first.

Or, you know, instead of doing the arms and stuff leading to it, we'll do the head first when he's making a fist. So to start the fist, we're going to come on the inside here. Bring this finger around and come up the next one around and come up to the side so that it rounds out the fist on this side. We'll do that again on this side nice and slow. That's kind of like the MIDI palm that you can't see covered up here. Come out to the first finger, the second finger and the third one is going to make the rest of it inside here is the thumb.

Inside here is the thumb so that that's not a bad hand. Actually, I've got it kind of mocked up on this side, but there we go. That's a decent looking hand, right? He's gonna have these big Popeye forearms. Do you know who Popeye is? Yes, I do.

Oh big Popeye forums on either side chicken place. No, not Popeye's chicken. He was an animated character that had really big gaps. Okay, anyways, these huge forums and then skinny arms coming off of it coming in. Okay, skinny arms coming into the body. Some little flourish around the elbow maybe or something.

Okay, looking pretty good. Actually, I think this looks like our model a little bit, right? Listen, instead of Halo, what you can learn to do is darken very specific spot of it. In this case, I want you to darken everything that's kind of on the underside. Okay, so it'd be under here, under the hand and stuff under the lip, under the character, what you're starting to learn here is that, you know, where's the, where would the shadows be and stuff in this case, we're doing it as if it's coming from above, right? So everything on the underside of this character is going to have a little bit of a darker line to it.

Yep. As if the lighting is coming from up top. Yeah. So we're not going to do the halo like we normally do on these guys. On this one. I want you to do it as if everything underneath is in shadow just a little bit and it'll give a little bit of a different look than what we've been doing so far.

How's it going on yours? Joy? Pretty good. Yeah, yeah. I think coins turning out okay. Good stuff.

Okay. And there's our guy. What did we call them again? Rami Rami right. Um, Remy looks twisted. having troubles right?

But that's okay. I like twisted character sometimes. Um, how to ramie turn out for you. He looks scared and confused. That's how I feel to. Yep, it works, but I think he turned out pretty close to the original one.

Yep, it's okay. Yeah, I think so too. I think yours looks pretty good. The key point is really guys is that learning that the the skeleton that stickman with the articulation, you can start to bring it into your monsters now. Okay, so we're not just gonna have circles, we're gonna have circles with arms and legs jutting out of them and stuff, right? And if you're gonna have arms and legs, don't do it like that old school stick man.

Right? Do it like our new stick man with all that articulation? And if it's tough, what do we do? Do it again, we do it again. That's exactly it. So if you thought that was tough, do it again, and have fun with it, guys.
