Part 1 of the Fresh Eyes challenge: • These 10 Shapes Unlock...
In this second tutorial in the Fresh Eyes challenge we are bringing back the 3rd dimension. Drawing with 3D forms is intimidating at first. In this video, I cover all the simple 3D form ideas we are going to learn in days 6-10 of the challenge. This is an overview, but when you do the challenge, we will learn these ideas slowly and step by step.
We look at the ribcage egg, the pelvis pants, the ball head and the simple approach to shoulders based on things we can actually see. We also look at dealing with foreshortened limbs using cross contour lines.
There’s a lot to cover in this video, but sign up to the challenge and work through all these skills slowly with us across days 6-10.
Shout out to my wife Lucy for the awesome stop motion animation of woody the awful mannequin!

How the Fresh Eyes challenge works:
There are two tutorials here on TH-cam - this is part 2 and part 1 is linked above.
When you make an account with the link at the top, you can access the 2D model and play around with it, trying to match the poses. Each day, you get a new exercise plus 5 specially designed reference photos each day to practise with and drawing. There will be additional mini-tutorials in there to explain how to see the forms in the figure, as well as the side view of the figure, plus optional live sessions for further clarification.
Then on day 6 we start thinking about the ideas in this tutorial. We now switch to thinking in 3D. We will build on the ideas already developed but using simple 3D forms. Again on our website, there will be exercises each day on days 6-10, plus live sessions and extra explanations.
Sign up with the link above and learn to see the figure with Fresh Eyes!

I have ADHD and so it's often extremely difficult for me to follow lessons to completion, because I get lost easily. I also find that most teachers talk about the philosophy rather than giving practical explanations, so I completely lose interest and I get lost even more. Every time I come to your videos, I feel like the fog clears and I can completely follow your instruction from start to finish because you explain things so well and in interesting ways. Thank you so much!!! Your lessons have made my learning journey SO much less frustrating and it's actually helped me to start to enjoy practicing, now that I'm understanding things better and feeling less like a failure.
Hey that’s awesome, I’m so glad they are useful :)
Oh my god same!! I’m a freshman majoring in animation and was dual diagnosed with adhd and ocd last year. Similar to you, I get overwhelmed quite easily and can get so caught up in the learning that it just confuses me. I’ve tried so many methods for figure drawing and anatomy, but nothing really stuck until I found this channel. Something about this exact technique is perfect for my attention level. I’ve never felt more excited to draw bodies haha
In this tutorial, we cover everything we are going to work in days 6-10 of the Fresh Eyes challenge! We can describe it all in about 10 minutes, but it'll take plenty of targeted and sequenced practice to get confident with these skills. If you haven't already, join us in the challenge with the link in the description! Shout out to my wife Lucy for the awesome stop motion animation of woody the awful mannequin!
This challenge series has been outstanding. Art fundamentals can be esoteric and confusing to the layman, but you've explained them in an easy to understand manner and anyone that puts time into applying them will see big improvements. Great work Kenzo, hope you're doing well!
This means so much to me thank you!!
I'm so glad that I've joined the challenge. I feel like I can see better the angles and relationships between different body parts. I'm hyped to start drawing more 3D shapes. To everyone who is reading this comment, I recommend starting this challenge whenever you can C:
Thank you!
You're by far the most comprehensible figure drawing instructor I've ever seen. Thank you for giving us all these premium videos for free.
I thought I had to be born with talent to draw; but, Love Life Drawing proved me wrong. Kenzo is an awesome teacher! I am looooooving this challenge. I am learning so much. Thank you!!!
Thank you Cristina - you've worked hard and it's paying off!
Hey man, have you ever thought about making a discord community or something? I love your content it feels so genuine, would love a place where a bunch of us amatures could get together talk about each others work and such.
This series is really great for amateur artists like me who wants to learn more about figure drawing and anatomy. Hope this keeps going!
Glad you're enjoying it!
Kenzo your tutorials are the best
I really enjoy the humor you throw in here. Looks like some, like the mannequin animation, took a bit to set, but I think it helps what you are teaching stick in my mind. I need to really remember your comment about getting good at them simple things rather than rushing to having a collection of complex ideas that I can't attach to a good foundation.
Thanks! My wife Lucy animated the mannequin - she loves stop motion. Yeah i actually find it easier to learn more complicated stuff at a surface level than to learn basics at a deeper intuitive level. so it's really tempting to just add more complexity, but the thing that works is drilling fundamentals
This is such good explanation. Very thank you!
Fantastic course thank you.
Awesome course thus far! I am looking forward to the remainder!
Thank you for making this tutorial!
This is really informative and fun to do
Great video. You always make it simple so it’s easier to understand. Thanks!
This challenge has been amazing and so helpful! I would love if you made more challenges about different topics in the future.
I am so excited to start the 2nd part, which I feel will be more fun than the 2D exercises! Thank you so much, Kenzo for your great efforts, I really appreciate it.
I miss this sooo much.. A very BIG Thank you!!!!
Thank you Kenzo, another humorous and instructive video, looking forward to days 6-10!
Thanks Caroline!
"Getting really good at really simple ideas" - a great tagline for Love Life Drawing! This is what I would be working on. And Fresh Eyes challenge is an apt platform to begin seeing the simple and essential in life drawing. I am amazed Kenzo at how you present the essence of the process with such simple, clear and powerful steps. Fresh eyes challenge has been an eye opener. Thanks a lot Kenzo. Looking forward to the rest of the challenge.
And cheers to Lucy for rescuing the wood man and bringing him back on the scene!!!!
Thanks for all your support Sandhya!
This challenge is excellent. The 2D part has been a huge breakthrough for me. Looking forward to applying all this on the 3D poses, twisted. I’ve told several friends about this course and encouraged them to take it Kenzo is such a clear and encouraging teacher!
Great video! I had a good chuckle at the egg squashing. (For real though, using an egg as a rib cage stand in is a great idea) Enjoying the challenge so far, thank you so much for the top quality instructions.
So glad you’re enjoying it!
Wonderful, I appreciate your tuition ! I am so keen to improve my drawings
Great work Kenzo! I had seen multiple tutorials from other sources but I found yours to be the best. It can be seen you have put in a lot of work to deconstruct it to this level for amateurs. Really appreciate you sharing your craft.
What you're teaching in such a comperhendable way is priceless for people like myself, exploring and pushing through the art world. Thank you sir!
Loved the book conversation.
brilliant understanding of shape, movement and 3 dimensional tilt.
Got caught up with alotta busy things last month so gonna be starting this today! Thanks for all the lessons :)
Some of the best videos on drawing I’ve found. love the way you present the information, very thorough and enjoyable to watch
im so glad that youve been going slowly, most videos have really fast paces, this one i was able to draw while listening and understanding what you say
This is an excellent video for people like me who get confused even by the simple construction lines people teach in other videos. Thanks a ton!
Excellent ..... thank you !
This guy's just awesome
Hey, Kenzo! So Excited about the second part of the challenge! Thank you so much for another great explanation video!
Thank you Karina!!
Really would like to thank you, Kenzo. Only halfway of the challenge and I'm seeing the models already differently. A well thought method!
Great to hear Rohalt!
Fun video, Kenzo - and the challenge is probably the best exploration of the big simple ideas of the figure I've come across so far. Looking forward to the second half!
Thank you Kolja that means a lot coming from you!
god your channel is such a gold mine for knowledge, thank you for everything you do
Thank you, Kenzo! Looking forward to applying these ideas.
Thanks Niki :)
I love the way you teach! It is so funny and clear. Thank you!
Thanks Bruna!
Love it
Love this and really enjoying the challenge and the fact that it is free is just wonderful. Shared with many folk and highly recommend.
Thanks for sharing!!
Great video Kenzo, I’ve seen an improvement already doing the fresh eyes challenge!
Yay! Thank you!
video fantastico! Grazie!
I can't thank you enough!
I was struggling with shoulders but this video helped me to understand how it works. Thank you! :>
Kenzo your commitment to life drawing is phenomenal
Thanks Sandy!
very useful ! Another great video! I m seeing better and better. Thank you Kenzo.
Great to hear Christine!
The effort you put, man
I appreciate that!
Thanks for all your videos and the fresh eyes challenge ! It seems like Daniel already had good bases :)
Yeah she did! She was already working through our tutorials after all!
Great video Kenzo. Congratulations for both the student who have made massive improvements and for you that taught him into the right direction.
What I find interesting about more spherical forms is that they generally make the figure more organic. And they are excellent for drawing faster.
And that customized form for the pelvis is very good and it's not that hard to use.
I've seen some great comic book artists like David Finch and John Buscema using that and they recommend it a lot in their videos and books (respectively).
Personally I like using other forms when drawing from imagination though.
I think boxy and cylindric forms works better when putting things in perspective, specially when doing more complex angles and such.
The thing about these forms is that the corners are much more clear than spheres, and as such, it's much easier to measure proportions and the perspectiva.
This is very handy when drawing things by your own imagination.
Plenty of animators use these forms in conjunction with triangular shapes and the peculiar "pillow shape" which teachers such as Kevin Chen and Ron Lemen use extensively.
Anyway, just telling my trashy personal opinion here lol.
Totally agree Gabriel. So in our course, we emphasise a much more boxy approach for the torso forms. The truth lies somewhere in them middle of course
you are an awesoem teacher! keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
This is an exceptionally well presented video!! It's easy to grasp the concepts that I have been struggling with for a long time now. Thank you so much for posting this excellent course!!!
Glad it was helpful Jan!
I am learning so much to see in new ways! And learnd alredy a lot! Thanks ✍️ & 👀
So glad!
I love the little mannequin cracking up over the broken egg. Lol 🤣🤣 Great video.
Thanks Alan will pass that on to my wife (the animator)
This is such a good video! Hope you had an amazing weekend
Thank you! You too!
haha I LOVE the pelvis pants, absolutely the easiest way to visualize or identify and then draw. PERFECT. you are most excellent teacher thank you.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial and course sir! Really helped me a lot! Im doing all the exercises! God bless you sir!
You're very welcome!
Hi Kenzo, very good video as always, it's fun to learn with you. Now to draw, I really want this second part. Thanks (I'm glad your throat is getting better).
Thanks Juan! 3D is tough but doable :)
Great Video. Very good information. Well laid out and explained in a simplistic and relaxing manner. Good Job.
Thank you for making this challenge! On day 5 currently and this way of approaching the figure really seems to work for me, whereas before i felt i was reaching into the dark and hope and see what sticks. It is also very digestible,, still challenging without it being too overwhelming. Looking forward to tacling the 3D forms!
That's great! You can do it!
Kenzo. Great video to introduce the second part of the Fresh Eyes Challenge which I’m really enjoying and finding really eye opening. Thank you very much.
Awesome! Thank you!
I wasn’t understand most of this principles, but with your videos I feel progressive and enjoy the process with more power. It’s was hard for me when I am studying at the art university, but teachers aren’t explaining the simple ideas of figure drawing and waiting big results from pupils. Thanks for this big work for us ❤
i'm glad it's helping!
Ha ha. The Revenge of Wooden Mannequin Guy! Seriously, though, the challenge really gives some great building blocks to improve with.
Thanks Jim!
Thanks to this challenge, I'm improving day by day. I'm glad to be following this, and I'm so thankful to you.
Also I would like to point out that the printable model of the day one in the community has the filename swapped between male and female. The hyperlink for male downloads a model with female filename, but the hips are from male. When you download female, you get a model with male filename, but the hips are from a female. (If I'm not wrong). I just wanted to point this out just in case someone does not spot the situation and maybe gets confused!
Thank you! Hopefully fixed now
These methods more than Bridgman's, thanks.
Muchas gracias Kenzo por compartir con nosotros este gran aprendizaje y conocimientos. Es una gran oportunidad q uno no puede dejar pasar para ser mejor dibujante y comprender lo complejo q es la figura humana. 🙏🙏🙏
Eh Fabiola San puedo preguntar qué contenido hay u ofrece la página de Lovelivedrawing?, Si es q estás 😅
Thank you Fabiola!
@@edhan4004 Hola, Edhan, ahí practicamos la figura humana, el desnudo en específico, Kenzo nos ofrece tutoriales dónde comprendes un poco más lo complejo de la figura humana pero de una forma sencilla, ya depende de uno el echarle los kilos al dibujo 👍
@@fabiolasan1626 o q interesante gracias por el dato, que bien q haya personas hispanohablantes aunque solo haya visto este comentario 😅
Thank you Kenzo for this challenge! I fell I'm finally starting to give proportion, structure and gesture to my figures. And It's amazing it started with 2D exercises! I'm still on day 6 and keep practicing. Thank you man! Wish you best!
This is music to my ears Ennio! Keep going!
That intro was so funny when you put the egg in the clamp I was like, "omg is he really gunna do it?" and you did lol
Okay time to actually watch this video
This is great! All of this information is very helpful !!!! I particularly enjoy the stop action laughter from the wooden art model! I died laughing.
Thanks Jack! I'll let Lucy know (she animated it)
@@lovelifedrawing I thought I recognized her handy work :D
U r Great sir
This challenge project has already ended but I am following close behind. Have just recently registered on the website and now I am on "day 6". My skills are already improving. Thank you very much for your wonderful work! ♡
Best of luck!
This has been extremely helpful to me. I'm dealing with cartoon characters for animation. As I'm sure you're aware, it's very important to have, at the very least, a rudimentary knowledge of how anatomy affects moment and body shape. Richard Williams (from Roger Rabbit fame) encourages animators to study life drawing. While my characters are very simple designs, basing their body movement on the "pelvis pants" and rig cage relationship helps them look more natural in their movement.
that's great! yes the ribcage egg / pelvis pants simplification is going to help a ton with that
i tell you what kenzo, the jokes are getting too good haha! excited for the next part of the challenge!
Thank you!
Regarding the shoulders, just imagine the shoulder bone being wrapped at edge of a cape, which is a combo of pectoral, latissimus and deltoid.. As you raised the arm, you'd definitely see the 'inside' of the cape.
You can refer to Loomis or Reilly method for more info.
I just want to draw a good egg, and add two more for the forearms and serve that on open pelvis pants standing on solid feet! Thank you for helping me learn to draw - really mean That!
Yes, please let her know the laughing mannequin was a neat touch of comedy 🤣
Day six is the 3D side? This is where structure guy from two videos ago shines, lolz!
Hehe don't tell him. his head is big enough already
@@lovelifedrawing Yes it is, LOL. a huge head in the x, y and z axis .
Compromise! ... call it Elvis pants.
😂😂😂
good idea to work on the simples shapes, oval for rib, circle for cranium and borats udnerpants for pelvis... whats gonna be the price for the course? sounds exciting!
Hello, Kenzo!
Thank you for this very useful video!!
I will watch it again and again to learn from it😃
By the way, the grade of the funny scenes is getting higher and higher, I'm laughing so hard☆.
Thanks a lot for the funny scenes, it makes me enjoy studying drawing more and more!
Thanks! 😃
For anyone having trouble with this like I did, try a box shape for the torso and pelvis. the egg shape was difficult to turn in my head so a box does the trick.and then you can add the egg inside the box if you want
0:14 my relationship with my ex in 1 sketch xD
Fair fair I just rebooted a PC and I need to make a new hotmail might try this out with this new hotmail. (trying to keep my main hotmail free now :P) But I think it look promesing I guess we will see.
Any way this seem quite interesting again like the mini puzzle structure for the first one I think that the type of thing that could be quite interesting to just get the basic than you can go up in challenge but yah.
I don't actually know how to start a drawing without ref that why am trying to get better at understanding this because if I can understand how posse work may be I will be able to just do the pose than try to had to it after that.
Ref is always nice but it kinda get annoying whene you try to draw your Owen stuff but always need to start form ref always. like (it kinda make sense you need to start form some data it just that one is in your head and the other is outside of it but... still kinda annoying none the less whene you don't got the data to do it in your head and your just trying to do a simple thing.
SORRY FOR THE BAD ENGLISH Also am interested for the muscle and stuff too (like the belly parth it easy to get wrong for exemple like Just a curve in work but it look weird uncanny alot of time :) )
Hello, can we find your drawings for this session someplace to check our own against? Thanks!
Will the challenge and it’s content still be available after the 10 days? I hope to revisit it next month or sometime after.
Yeah i'll leave it all up :)
@@lovelifedrawing Thank you! I really want to participate in this course/challenge, but I'm in a bit of slump. I'm taking a bit of study a break.
I laughed at the egg joke
is the fresh eyes challenge still available? I cannot seem to sign up?
How did you get that 3d figure at 0:05? Do you guys know if there's any good 3d models for looking at the muscles and bones?
For digital 3D models, Scott Breton's 3D models on sketchfab are free and excellent. The anatomy figure i was holding is one my mum bought online somewhere, i will check where
I NEED THAT BACKGROUND TEXTURED PAPER please🙂
to be honest even the simplified ribcage is hard to draw without committing any proportion mistake
9:57 i really liked how she posses does somebody know her name?
You've just made an amazing drawing tutorial buddy! Well done, and keep up the good work 👏
I am also an artist 🎨
Check my drawing skills out!
Peace and love to you all.😃👍
