 Welcome back another review and today I'm going to talk about how to think when you draw and this is volume four That's right four because we have this one and I'm a big fan of this whole series. You can see here This is volume one. We are to volume two And three and also have a how to think when you write with robin at this point There's so many volumes that now it comes with this here and it gives you Everything that they have covered by volume, which is really cool. I like this Definitely helpful because they have as you can see a lot and a reminder you can't buy these. These are only through Kickstarter, so if you're watching this for the first time you got all the information here I'll put that in the description as well how to get a hold of these books and before I flip through all these If you're just joining here. Hi, my name is JD and I do product reviews like these I do animation reviews rig reviews animation lectures animation news Hockey analysis clips animation analysis clips a bunch of stuff, but new this is the youtube pitch at the beginning This is the child is what I do browse around if you like it subscribe But if you don't you don't have to subscribe but it helps my channel grow and that is that for the pitch Let's go and check out the book. So there you go. That is the book from and back That's how thick it is here And as you open it up, it's empty And it's empty again There you go title page Volume four. This is the content as always a ton of awesome stuff I'm always loving the character design and monster and animal stuff vehicles is also great It's also nicely cartoony. It's the way they present things Introduction more information here again. I'm going as always Chapter one go through these so this is a 2d book So you're gonna have of course more an approach of how to draw things because how do I think when you draw But in terms of shapes and it's still interesting because it talks about different shapes asymmetry And how they can flow and I think just for posing it's super helpful for animators I mean head structure alone is already very very interesting Now this gets again very specific This will be more difficult if you have a free rig. You usually don't have a rigged collar But still it's still especially with gloves that goes back to me for hand poses You got the grouping here Like all of that stuff to me is really really interesting From an animation point of view like that is just gold different hand poses torn fabric That's cool. I like animating effect stuff So this could be something to think about if you do Kind of you don't want to do any sim or cloth But even if you just animate geometry separately shoulders, you got to see the range of shoulders That's very important eating which would be great for animation But again, you can see all this really appealing facial poses Body shapes come on that is definitely helpful Love all this especially if you have a rig that helps you In terms of modifying the rig and the controllers Body language that is absolutely for animation Squash and stretch as you know, absolutely animation Skateboarding may be less although I saw a really cool Zelda rig skate animation Figures in the distance a lot of times also do compositional stuff You just really cool. This is great for silhouette as well Love why not? This is great for body contact like all of these poses This is all great and actually really difficult to do the animation because of contact So again, awesome stuff bandages this time mermaids Chapter two Beginning into animals and monsters Monster class again. Look at that. Now you're going back into hand poses great for creatures Lizards, I don't know how many lizard rigs are out there monsters based on insects. That is cool I love that. Come on. Look at this here. That's very cool Pouncing I'm absolutely going to use this in my creature classes You got always page a layout here with bigger poses trolls and goblins Zombies. Oh, I always like zombies. That's cool bears More weight. Oh, come on. Look at that. See that is great. I love it That would be so great to take this page and replicate all the facial poses on your rig Just for practice elephants also great as you can see this is a brand new book I gotta flatten these chapter three vehicles and machines Hmm, I like this just because if you have vehicles and you can have a little bit of squash and stretch and lean in there Again, that's just a bit of character and I love that this book always covers that chrome. This goes more into shading glass domes paint jobs interesting Fishing vessels Oh, I don't know if I know the answer to that. I think it's across the bay in alameda That's what I said anybody watching Star Trek chapter four elements Fire that's cool. You can buy rigs that have these separately But if you do something in 2d, maybe or shapes, that's great to see all the variations You can have muzzle flash right in the tab burned surfaces. That's interesting. I like this Object breaking or objects breaking that's cool. Again. I am a big fan of animating stuff like this All stuff done by hand objects breaking expansion pack. It's awesome Underwater I love underwater. Look, this is actually perfect for luca Definitely a super cute movie gotta watch it if you haven't storms nice Chapter five layout and composition. I love those chapters As I'm clumsily going through page 105 to 106 isometric perspective That brings me back. I'm old isometric isometric pixel art games Page one and two. That's cool. I like it a lot. That's cool Even if you do kind of a set design or things that's an inspiration How do you kind of tweak your set a little bit to make it a bit more organic? That's cool. I like this cross sections and cutaways Asymmetry. Yeah, we always need that. I love stuff like that That is I'm a big fan of compositional tips like this Cropping that's definitely cool as you set up your scene With cameras and lenses a punch up. That's cool That's cool for your frequent anime challenge clips where there's a lot of action in there Multi character composition. That's again, very cool. I'm gonna use that for my uh continued Camera lecture a three rectangle composition. It's awesome. Come on. This is already awesome pathways. That's cool Spacing and composition again. Fantastic. Gotta use that magic battles That's cool. That's cool for your action shot again Chapter six natural world. I think this book is almost the best ones so far thorns shells Carnations and tulips Pumpkins. Allerene will be coming yet again soil and mud mud is a good movie by the way bushes Skipping a page here. Nope bushes two-page layout palm trees More lambes bread Hills goes back into your composition But I like that stuff that's always great to see if you want to do a nicely composed shot compose Composed expansion pack for hills here floating mountains That's cool Floating mountains two-page layout chapter seven world building Money and treasure, but even this here again I'm I'm paging fast through these but even how these are stacked like that to me is already more interesting than this The super clean unless, you know, this is part of a story But all that stuff if you do any type of shot with set dressing That is going to be cool to add just a little variations in contrast in how you do things Me and Jesus if you have food rope That's cool like that I don't know that to me is really interesting how you can just Do all that differently with the different knots how they hang how they lay now look at that I don't know that to me is great wall textures wall stone carvings It's very specific here. I like this. No over four books. It covers a lot corrugated iron Interesting that gets really specific thatched roofs Expansion pack Look at that. These are really cute. Don't like this one Shopfronts Shopfronts expansion pack. It's crazy the amount of variation. They can always packing those books fantasy castles Shantytowns A little shanty song there and that's that some other books you may enjoy That's always the end here. They have different comics And deluxe editions also very cool if you're looking for reference and variations and posing Here's one percent of volume one I absolutely recommend that whenever they bring out the Kickstarter to go back and get the previous versions or volumes Again hand poses composition Set dressing with contrast animation as well. It's really cool. I really really highly recommend these free 50 page comic tutorials comic making towards book And then you can have this here simply search This is how you get those free ones. You got a full course They'll also put a ton of free pages on twitter More to learn Free tutorials there you go to search for the etherington brothers And that is that as always on Kickstarter And that is that page at the end and we are done volume four once again a fantastic book I love these so much. I love the layout. I love the drawings the colors everything. It's just like it's just so It's so my book.
