Okay, we're back. And in our previous unit we were discussing how to draw shapes. Right? Yeah. And I, like I said, I know anybody from elementary school on up has already drawn shapes. You're used to them, you probably cut them out in craft class or whatever.

Yeah, whatever. And, you know, I'm not here to teach you guys shapes. We're here in part to kind of train our brains and stuff like that of how to draw some of this stuff, right? This one though, is going to be teaching. Because just like with our circles, how do we turn them into 3d? What do we call partly right.

I think you're guessing here. Listen, a 3d circle is what 3d Oh my goodness you're failing already. It's a sphere. Oh, I thought you're. But you know what i'm guessing every student that's listening right now is probably answering the same way you are. They're like, Ah, there's that pause, right?

Yeah, a 3d circle is a sphere, okay. And we did squares in the last one and rectangles and stuff like that. But how do we make a square 3d? perspective? Yes, it's perspective. But we're not going to get fully into perspective.

We're going to take some, a little bit of an easy stab at this right now. Okay. So what I want you to do is, if you remember, we were already talking about these lines, right? This is a vertical line. A vertical line is one that goes up and down, right? a horizontal line is one that goes kind of side to side.

Yeah. Okay. So I want you to make a vertical line, a horizontal line, a vertical line and a horizontal line. And what does that make for us a square a square? Can you do that for me? Yes.

Vertical or horizontal, vertical, horizontal, that's a good enough score. And listen students that are following along with this, um, I hope you're either pausing when when we're doing this, you know, you could pause at the end of whenever I'm talking, which is rare, but, you know, or basically, when Joey is here when she's doing her work, that's when I'm hoping you're doing yours as well. Okay, so when you're working, you're drawing on your screen, the students at home should be following along and doing theirs. They can pause it if they want, or they can try to keep pace with you. I think you're pretty fast. So they're welcome to pause, okay, but either way, we've got a square in front of us now using a vertical line or a horizontal line, a vertical line and another horizontal line, right?

And if we want to, you know, we can go in and make it a little bit prettier, right? We can come in and kind of darken the lines up, make it somewhat prettier. Right. And make it more of a square. Okay, so we know we've got vertical lines and horizontal lines, but what do we call these lines that are neither vertical or horizontal? I guess.

Go ahead, diag. Yeah, right diagonal. A lot of you guys have already done this, right? And right now this is I'm trying to think of the degrees this is this is probably about 45 degrees or something like that. Okay? So what I want you to do is I want you to have, let's say, three squares in a row here.

Okay, three squares in a row, using your horizontal and vertical lines, right? And then from three of these corners, I want you to draw 45 degree lines coming off of them. Okay, so you're gonna grab the three corners here and draw approximately a 45 degree. Now listen, if you've got a ruler, what you can do is just kind of like you know, put Your ruler on this angle here. Okay? You're going to have this little ruler, right?

Keep it on that same angle, this 45 degree angle, and slide. And then slot, you know, slide it over, and then slide it over some more, and it will stay in that same 45 degree angle. You're just using your hand and slide, slide slide, right. Uh, if not, I think you guys are probably at a point where you can draw, just draw it so that they kind of match up and stuff, right. Okay, so we've got these 45 degree angles, and you can kind of see what's happening right now is that if we look at this, it just looks like it's kind of stretching off into the distance right? Now, just like we have a horizontal line here, remember, horizontal straight up and down.

I want you to draw horizontal following it, following it. That's matching this one. Okay, like it's vertical. Oh, sorry, vertical. I miss messed them up. Yep, you're exactly right.

Thanks for the correction. Yeah. So you're gonna have this vertical line and then there's matching vertical line from so that from there point here, down to this point down to this line, okay? Perfect. Okay. And then just like we have now our horizontal, just like we have this horizontal line from here over, this is going to be a horizontal line.

Be careful because I know what a lot of people want to do is they kind of just go like this and then go like this. This is not a vertical line. This is not a horizontal line, you're you're messing it. You want to follow your vertical line here. You want to follow it the same pathway. It's going straight up and down this way, okay?

And just like on this one, you want to follow this horizontal, you want to follow this over. Okay? So now that you've got your horizontal and vertical line, you could start to darken the connecting lines between them, darken it up. And what do we have? What's this called? cube cube.

That's right, we've given some bit of 3d form to this 2d shape, right? And we've made it into a cube. Now, it's not a perfect cube, there's some issues that I'm going to teach you right now. But this will be a nice basic start. Okay, so if we come down when we move to a new part of the paper, right? And listen, if you're going on to new sheets of paper and stuff, that's okay.

You know, I think it's great to tear through paper. Use Cheap paper though you don't have to use art paper, you know, it doesn't have to be official $5 sheet art paper or anything like that. It could just be photocopy paper, or whatever and stuff I used to write. It's perfect. Okay, so don't don't worry about tearing through some of this paper and stuff. Don't use your, you know, your good paper for this kind of sketch work and stuff.

I got you some nice loose sheets or whatever and just draw the shapes on them. Okay. So down below, we're going to draw this rectangle. Could you draw a rectangle for me on your throwaway paper here? You're cheap paper work. And like rotating my whole body.

I you know what? rotate the paper sometimes, right? You know, just move your paper around to rotate it in front of you. Sometimes we get kind of convoluted and we twist our bodies up sitting over the sheet and stuff I get. If you've got a piece of paper in front of you turn it, turn it so that it flows with your arm and hand a little bit better. Oh, also, a good piece of advice is don't draw angle, because then your whole drawing will be at an angle.

Yeah, right, the flatter like you're looking at your surface. So if you're right on top of your paper, the better right? You know, I have messed up the drawings. Right, you know, like, you've really got to if it starts to angle it'll get warped and stuff, right? Don't worry about that right now though. We're just working on rectangles and stuff like that.

But with this rectangle, we're going to do that exact same thing. We already have our our, you know, our horizontal line. We've got our vertical line here, right? The horizontal The one running like this, and the vertical one is the one running straight up and down, right? But now I want you to do the same thing, put that 45 degree, put that 45 degree ish lines going off into the distance a little bit. And then, you know, we've got our horizontal line here, draw a horizontal line here.

Right? And then we've got our vertical line here from this where it connects to the line, draw a vertical line down, right, and that federal intersect there. There we go. So what I've got here almost if I was to draw some, some kind of detail in here is starting to look a bit like a book, right? Oh, I didn't mean to bed. I'm like I'm making agile bottlers and stuff.

Right? Yes. Now it kind of looks like a book, right? And that's how we just turned a 2d rectangle into something that looks a little bit like a book right? All I did was draw basically the rectangle, the lines going off into the distance, the other horizontal, the other vertical. And then I started to add the details of what a book might look like, you know, the pages going this way or something like that, right?

The Binding of the book, the roundness on the end. And now we just made a book. Yeah. I didn't mean to make a book, like it was that easy. Once you start to get into these shapes, turning them into, you know, turning them into something gets so much easier, right? Yeah, uh, in later courses, we'll get turning them into cars, ships, spaceships, tanks, whatever, you know, like, but you've got to get this down first.

Okay, so what I really want you to do is for the rest of the sheet. You can see I've got the rough shapes up there. I want you to try to practice this. One thing you can do though, is if you're drawing the squares, right, what I would do is draw just a bunch of squares on my paper like this, okay. Yeah, maybe like, rows of them, right, depending on how much room you got, how much time you got to practice. The first ones, you could do this 45 degree and just keep practicing the horizontal and vertical type of thing, right.

But what about switching it? What about putting the 45 degree off this way? You know, off to the left instead? Yeah. Do the horizontal, right, follow that horizontal? Follow that vertical?

Right? What if you change it and it's no longer 45 degree, but it's more like 25 degrees, you know, it comes off to the side here, kind of like this, right? Yeah, that's where it gets kind of weird looking. Right? It's gonna look a little bit to switch, you still follow the basic rules of, you know, this is horizontal, and this is vertical, and then it comes like that, right? Okay.

So you can play around for now, what I want is all of your parallel lines, or all of your diagonal lines will stay parallel rather. So all of these diagonal, d equals P diagonal equals parallel. I want them to match up to each other, okay? So if they're going on this 45 degree, if they're kind of going off on this angle, I want them all to go off on this type of angle. Okay? If they're going to go off on this more like 60 degrees, something like this, then they should all follow this type of angle.

I want them all to follow this direction here. Okay, and then you can box it out. Yeah, do it that way. Okay. So just make sure that for right now, are kind of parallel lines are all following each other, whether they're Horizontal, Vertical, or diagonal. And now, fill up your sheet fill up that piece of paper.

What I want you to do, you can you know, this is the end of the unit for this one, but I want you going off on your own and spending another five minutes or so just filling up your sheet practicing this and listen. They're gonna look ugly at a certain point. That's okay. But just keep at it. It'll get there. Good luck.
