This is what I look like.

這就是我的樣子。

Welcome to this new video.

歡迎觀看新視頻。

Today I'm going to share with you what I think is the best art exercise or drawing exercise you can possibly do.

今天，我將與大家分享我認為最好的藝術練習或繪畫練習。

This is something I came up with years ago before I moved to New York City to study at an academy, an atelier.

這是我多年前想到的，當時我還沒有搬到紐約，在一所學院或工作室學習。

I really wanted to get better at drawing on my own.

我真的很想自己畫得更好。

I wanted to get more accurate so people wouldn't make fun of me.

我想變得更準確，這樣別人就不會取笑我了。

They still made fun of me, but not about drawing.

他們仍然取笑我，但不是因為畫畫。

My drawing was on point because of this exercise.

通過這次練習，我的繪畫水準得到了提高。

I'm going to share with it, share with it, I'm going to share it with you today.

我要與它分享，與它分享，今天我要與你們分享。

I really think it's going to be great.

我真的覺得它會很棒。

It's something you can do on your own.

這是你可以自己做的事情。

You can check your own progress.

您可以檢查自己的進度。

You don't need a guy like me looking over your shoulder telling you when you're right and wrong.

你不需要像我這樣的人在你肩上指指點點，告訴你什麼是對什麼是錯。

No, no.

不，不

You'll be able to tell because that is built into this wonderful exercise.

你一定能看出來，因為這就是這項精彩練習的內涵。

So let's get into it.

那我們就開始吧。

But first, let's start with the materials you're going to need so you can do this effectively on your own.

但首先，讓我們從您需要的材料開始，這樣您就可以自己有效地完成這項工作。

First, you're going to need a printout or a sheet of paper that has some kind of reference of a portrait, a model, or anything for that matter on an eight and a half by 11 sheet of paper.

首先，你需要在一張 8.5×11 的紙上打印或打印一張紙，上面有肖像、模特或任何參照物。

It could be a little bigger or smaller, but roughly this size would be good.

它可以大一點或小一點，但大致如此就好。

Now, you don't want to have it in a book because you're going to really want to take this sheet and put it on a drawing board next to the paper you're going to be drawing on.

現在，你不想把它放在書裡，因為你真的想把這張紙放在畫板上，放在你要畫的紙旁邊。

So here is a reference I have.

下面是我的一個參考資料。

I have?

我有嗎？

What?

什麼？

Good.

很好。

I might.

我可能會

So you're going to need a printout like this.

所以你需要這樣的打印輸出。

I have this on this eight and a half by 11.

我把它放在這個 8.5 乘 11 的位置上。

The other thing you're going to need is tracing paper.

你還需要描圖紙。

This is just regular old tracing paper.

這只是普通的描圖紙。

See my hand through it?

看到我的手穿過它了嗎？

And I got this from a craft store.

這是我從工藝品商店買的。

Any tracing paper should work, unless it's a particularly opaque tracing paper.

任何描圖紙都可以，除非是特別不透明的描圖紙。

Other than that, you're going to need a drawing board, which I don't want to hoist off my easel, but it's a drawing board.

除此之外，你還需要一塊畫板，我不想把它從畫架上舉起來，但它就是一塊畫板。

You just need some kind of surface to put these things on.

你只需要某種表面來放置這些東西。

And beyond that, you'll need a pencil.

除此之外，你還需要一支鉛筆。

I have an HB art pencil here.

我這裡有一支 HB 美術鉛筆。

You could use a number two pencil, doesn't matter.

你可以使用 2 號鉛筆，這並不重要。

And I have a kneaded eraser.

我還有一塊揉捏過的橡皮。

I do think a kneaded eraser is better than other erasers because there is a point in this exercise where I kind of roll this over the drawing, and kneaded erasers are very good at that.

我確實認為揉捏式橡皮比其他橡皮更好用，因為在這個練習中，有一點是我要在畫上滾動的，而揉捏式橡皮在這方面很擅長。

So that's all you're going to need to do this exercise.

這就是你做這個練習所需要的一切。

And the idea here is to practice accuracy.

這裡的意思是練習準確性。

It's that first stage of the drawing, the first 20, 30, 40 minutes of the drawing.

這是繪畫的第一階段，也就是繪畫的前 20、30 或 40 分鐘。

So that's really how long these exercises should be.

所以，這些練習的時間就應該這麼長。

And it's about getting those proportions right, those tilts right, and those shapes right, so that you can really set up your drawings each and every time for accuracy.

這就需要掌握正確的比例、傾斜度和形狀，這樣才能真正做到每次繪圖都準確無誤。

And that is so important throughout the whole process.

這在整個過程中都非常重要。

I don't need to tell you.

我不需要告訴你

You know that experience of painting something and realizing the eye or the nose or whatever is in the wrong place, or the face is too wide.

你會有這樣的經歷：在畫某件東西時，發現眼睛、鼻子或其他東西的位置不對，或者臉太寬了。

And it's devastating, and you have to go back to the early stages and scrape down and redraw.

而這是毀滅性的，你必須回到早期階段，刮掉並重新繪製。

So it's much better if you get that drawing right from the outset, and this is an exercise designed to do just that.

是以，如果從一開始就能正確繪製，效果會更好。

So what we'll do, and we're going to do that in just a moment, and you'll see me unedited go through this entire exercise and very likely screw up, which I'm not going to hide from you.

所以，我們要做的是，我們馬上就做，你們會看到我未經編輯地完成整個練習，而且很可能會搞砸，我不會對你們隱瞞這一點。

I'll show it because I'm a little rusty right now when it comes to accuracy.

我會展示給大家看的，因為我現在對準確性有點生疏。

So let's see where I'm at.

讓我們看看我現在的情況。

But what we'll do is we'll take this tracing paper and we'll take this reference, we'll put the reference on the board, we'll put the tracing paper over top, tick off the top and bottom, and then put it next to the reference.

但我們要做的是，我們拿著這張描圖紙和這個參照物，我們把參照物放在黑板上，然後把描圖紙放在上面，在上面和下面打勾，然後把它放在參照物旁邊。

Then what we'll do is we'll set out to draw as accurately as we can, and then at the end of that, you put that tracing paper back over and you line up those first two points you put.

然後，我們要做的就是儘可能準確地開始畫圖，最後把描圖紙放回原處，把最初的兩點對齊。

Don't do it before.

之前不要做。

That would be cheating.

那就是作弊。

You wait till the end.

你要等到最後。

You really want to see how good or bad you did, and what kind of mistakes and trends are emerging with each one you do so you can figure out how to get better at those things.

你真的想知道自己做得有多好或有多糟，每做一次都會出現什麼樣的錯誤和趨勢，這樣你就能想出如何在這些方面做得更好。

And then you see how accurate you really were.

然後你就會發現自己真的很準確。

And again, I'm going to do this.

再說一遍，我要這樣做。

I'm not going to cut it.

我不會剪的。

We're going to put the tracing back over at the end.

我們要在最後把描邊放回去。

I haven't done this in years, so I'm expecting catastrophe, but we'll see what happens.

我已經很多年沒幹過這個了，所以我期待著災難的發生，但我們會看到會發生什麼。

And then what you can do is you can take this, repeat it as often as you like with any reference you want over and over and over and over again, and you will get better at drawing, and it's a way for you to check your own progress and be your own teacher so you can avoid going to an atelier or an academy forever.

然後你可以做的是，你可以拿著這本畫冊，用你想要的任何參考資料，一遍又一遍地重複畫畫，你的畫技會越來越好，這也是你檢查自己的進步、做自己的老師的一種方式，這樣你就可以避免永遠去畫室或畫院了。

No, I'm kidding.

不，我在開玩笑。

They're great.

他們很棒。

I went to them.

我去找他們了。

I went to two.

我去了兩次。

So I still think you should do that, but this is a way to get better at drawing right now on your own.

是以，我仍然認為你應該這樣做，但這是一個現在就能讓你自己畫得更好的方法。

So let's get started.

那麼，讓我們開始吧。

So I just printed out a reference I had here, again, on 8.5 by 11, and I put it on the drawing board.

所以我就把我的參考資料打印出來，同樣是 8.5×11 的尺寸，然後把它放在畫板上。

Here is just a regular sheet of Strathmore drawing paper, and I'll explain what that's about here in just a moment.

這只是一張普通的斯特拉斯莫爾繪圖紙，稍後我會解釋它的用途。

And over here, of course, we have our tracing paper.

當然，這裡還有我們的描圖紙。

And the tracing paper we're going to put here in just a moment, but the first thing we want to do is put it over our photo reference here for the first step of this exercise, and then

我們馬上要把描圖紙放在這裡，但我們要做的第一件事是把它放在我們的照片參考上，這是練習的第一步，然後

I'll clamp that back down, and we're going to get the HB pencil here, and I'm going to tick off the top right here, and I'm going to tick off the bottom here of the head just under the chin.

我把它夾緊，然後用 HB 鉛筆在這裡勾出頂部，在下巴下方勾出頭部底部。

So you'll see I have a mark right there and a mark right there.

所以，你會看到我這裡有一個標記，那裡也有一個標記。

And you could do down here, but this is less clear, and I really want to focus on doing a portrait block-in, and that's really what this exercise is going to be.

你也可以從這裡往下畫，但這裡不太清楚，我真的想把重點放在畫一個肖像塊上，這才是這次練習的真正目的。

So I'm doing the top and the bottom of the element I'm drawing, and then I'm going to remove the tracing paper, and I'm going to take this, and I'm going to put it right over here, and the reason, again, I have this paper underneath, this Strathmore drawing paper underneath is so that I can see my drawing more clearly.

我正在畫元素的頂部和底部，然後把描圖紙拿開，把這個放在這裡，之所以把這張紙放在Strathmore繪圖紙下面，是為了讓我能更清楚地看到我的畫。

If I had it against my drawing board, you'd see the wood color show through this tracing paper, and it would be harder to see my drawing.

如果我把它放在畫板上，你會看到木頭的顏色透過描圖紙顯現出來，這樣就更難看出我的畫了。

So just having this sheet of paper here makes it easier for this exercise.

有了這張紙，練習起來就容易多了。

Okay, so our goal right now is to draw this as accurately as possible within that framework, and I'm going to be doing it the same size, and the idea is that the two marks here that were the top of the hair and the bottom of the chin are essentially going to represent the same location.

好了，我們現在的目標是在這個框架內儘可能精確地繪製這個圖案，我將採用相同的尺寸，這樣做的目的是讓頭髮頂部和下巴底部的兩個標記基本上代表相同的位置。

So my goal is to draw this as accurately as possible, and the eventual outcome here will be that we'll take this tracing paper, and we'll put it right back over this at the end, not during the course of the drawing, and we'll see how accurate we were, and in that way, you can give yourself your own critique, and you don't need to study with anyone except for me because I have special secret information that I only give my online students.

是以，我的目標是儘可能準確地畫出這幅畫，而最終的結果是，我們會拿著這張描圖紙，在最後，而不是在畫畫的過程中，把它重新貼在這幅畫上，然後我們會看到我們的準確度有多高，這樣，你就可以自己給自己點評，除了我之外，你不需要和任何人一起學習，因為我有一些特殊的祕密資訊，我只告訴我的在線學生。

No, I'm kidding.

不，我在開玩笑。

Getting critiques is useful, and there are so many great art teachers out there that you can work with, but this is a great way to specifically get better at drawing without necessarily having someone critique every single drawing and giving you a way to evaluate your progress.

獲得評論是有用的，有很多優秀的藝術老師可以與你合作，但這是一個專門提高繪畫水準的好方法，不一定要讓別人評論你的每一幅畫，也可以讓你評估自己的進步。

So I'm going to start with the tilt at the top of the head here.

所以，我要從頭頂的傾斜開始。

You can come over here and imagine that tilt like this.

你可以到這裡來，想象一下這樣的傾斜度。

If you were drawing from life, you could see your model in front of you, and in the same way, hover your pencil over your vision of them in the distance and compare that tilt, but here, of course, it's much more direct.

如果你畫的是素描，你可以看到你的模特在你面前，以同樣的方式，將鉛筆懸停在你看到的遠處的模特身上，然後比較那個傾斜度，但在這裡，當然要直接得多。

You can see that tilt right here, and I can see the chin here, so that hair is going to tilt under that chin right there like that, and then coming up here, we can sort of see the back of the hair has a tilt like this, that angle like this, and then we have this part of the hair like that.

你可以看到這裡的傾斜度，我可以看到這裡的下巴，所以頭髮會像這樣傾斜到下巴下面，然後從這裡往上，我們可以看到頭髮的後面有這樣的傾斜度，這樣的角度，然後我們有這樣的頭髮部分。

Compare that tilt, this tilt here like this.

比較一下這個傾斜度，這個傾斜度就像這樣。

Then I can imagine roughly the height of the hair, just eyeball it in relationship to those overall heights.

然後，我就可以想象出頭發的大致高度，只需根據這些整體高度瞟一眼即可。

I would say it's roughly right here.

我覺得大致就在這裡。

It's going to change, I'm sure, to some degree or another, but it's just my loose sort of block-in.

我相信在某種程度上會有所改變，但這只是我的一種鬆散的封鎖。

There's that tilt here, this tilt here.

這裡傾斜，這裡傾斜。

This tilt right here.

這個傾斜就在這裡。

This tilt right here.

這個傾斜就在這裡。

This tilt right here.

這個傾斜就在這裡。

This tilt right here.

這個傾斜就在這裡。

This tilt right there.

這個傾斜就在那裡。

Okay, great.

好的，很好

Now, how far apart are these two things right here?

現在，這兩件事之間的距離有多遠？

This tilt to where the eyebrow is not very far.

這個傾斜度到眉毛的位置不是很遠。

Now look at this tilt right here and sort of see this space.

現在看看這裡的傾斜度，看看這個空間。

Boom, boom.

嘣，嘣

Two things closely related.

兩件事密切相關。

Let's go here and look at that forehead.

讓我們來看看這個額頭。

I might be getting a little crowded there.

我那裡可能有點擠。

So let's back down right there.

所以，讓我們回到這裡。

Let's look at this tilt right here.

讓我們看看這裡的傾斜度。

Let's play this tilt here against this tilt here, and then we can immediately look over at this tilt right there of the eyebrow right there.

讓我們把這裡的傾斜與這裡的傾斜進行對比，然後我們就可以馬上看到眉毛那裡的傾斜。

Okay.

好的

Tilt, tilt.

傾斜，傾斜。

Keeping the shapes very simple.

保持形狀非常簡單。

You have 30 minutes.

你們有 30 分鐘。

You're not going to get very detailed.

你不會說得很詳細。

What's the tilt of that nose?

你的鼻子怎麼傾斜的？

You can hold your pencil up.

你可以把鉛筆舉起來。

You can hold your pencil up.

你可以把鉛筆舉起來。

Get used to trying to get the exact right tilt.

習慣於嘗試準確的傾斜度。

And then let's look at the tilt.

再來看看傾斜度。

I'm looking at a tilt from here, the brow, to the inside of the nose there like this.

我現在看到的是從眉毛這裡向鼻子內側傾斜，就像這樣。

How does this tilt right here line up with those shadow shapes in that tilt right there?

這裡的傾斜度如何與那邊傾斜度中的陰影形狀保持一致？

How does this line up with that shadow shape right here?

這與這裡的陰影形狀如何吻合？

Okay.

好的

What is the tilt or angle between the nose and the corner of the mouth?

鼻子和嘴角之間的傾斜度或角度是多少？

It's tilted out this way to where the corner would be right there.

它向這邊傾斜，轉角就在那裡。

What's the tilt between corner to corner?

角與角之間的傾斜度是多少？

It would be up like this.

就像這樣

What's the tilt from here to here?

從這裡到這裡的傾斜度是多少？

So I'm kind of triangulating going from tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt.

所以，我就從傾斜、傾斜、傾斜、傾斜的角度進行三角測量。

So I'm sort of corroborating.

所以我也算是佐證。

And then I can look here from the side of the nose and see that this tilt actually needs to be more wide like this.

然後，我可以從鼻子側面看這裡，發現這個傾斜度實際上需要更寬一些，就像這樣。

And then from there, I can tilt up on that corner of the mouth like so.

然後，我可以像這樣把嘴角向上傾斜。

Okay.

好的

Finding that tilt, that angle between the ear and the corner of the mouth, you can see that the corner of the mouth is higher than the ear or that the ear ought to come down lower.

找到耳朵和嘴角之間的傾斜角度，就能發現嘴角比耳朵高，或者耳朵應該低一些。

Again, remember that mark right there.

請再次記住這裡的標記。

I'm going to make it a little bit heavier, this one a little bit heavier, so we don't forget where that is exactly.

我要把它弄重一點，這個要重一點，這樣我們就不會忘記它到底在哪裡了。

Let's see where the neck lines up.

讓我們看看頸部的線條。

Lines up right with the corner of the eye or the tear duct right in there.

正對眼角或淚腺。

Let's see where this lines up just on the inside of the hair.

讓我們看看頭髮內側的線條。

This neck was getting a little wide.

脖子有點寬了。

Let's see where this corner lines up on an angle right there with that chin.

讓我們看看這個角與下巴的夾角在哪裡。

So it should be down right about here.

所以應該就在這裡。

Okay.

好的

Now, something I like to do after I get this many shapes in is take my eraser and roll it over like this and lighten up those lines.

現在，在畫完這麼多形狀後，我喜歡做的事情是拿起橡皮，像這樣滾動，淡化這些線條。

Now, remember, you want to make sure you don't lose those points that we originally started with, which was the whole purpose of this exercise.

現在，請記住，你要確保不會丟失我們最初的那些點數，這也是本次練習的目的所在。

And, you know, tracing paper is a little slippery here.

而且，你知道，這裡的描圖紙有點滑。

It's a little smudged, but that's okay.

有點模糊，但沒關係。

These don't have to be pretty drawings.

這些不一定是漂亮的圖畫。

So now let's go back through here and re-evaluate things.

現在，讓我們回到這裡，重新評估一下。

Do I really think this distance?

我真的認為有這樣的距離嗎？

I think the hair could come up a little bit.

我覺得頭髮可以再高一點。

I think that's part of the reason why my forehead was starting to feel a little bit too short there.

我想這也是為什麼我的前額開始感覺有點太短的部分原因。

Let's look at this tilt here.

讓我們看看這裡的傾斜度。

So I'm looking at things in a more granular way.

是以，我把事情看得更細。

And you'll love it.

你會愛上它的。

When I get to the end of this video, I'm going to show you a little bit more detail.

在視頻的最後，我會向大家展示更多細節。

I'm going to show you a little bit more detail.

我再給你們詳細介紹一下。

I'm going to show you a little bit more detail.

我再給你們詳細介紹一下。

I'm going to show you a little bit more detail.

我再給你們詳細介紹一下。

And you'll love it.

你會愛上它的。

When I get to the end of this, I'm going to be horribly wrong because I need to do these exercises more now.

當我寫到這裡時，我一定會大錯特錯，因為我現在需要多做這些練習。

I used to be pretty good at them.

我以前很擅長這些。

I still draw reasonably accurate.

我仍然畫得相當準確。

But I think that when it comes to just raw accuracy,

但我認為，就原始準確性而言、

I'm probably a little bit rusty right now.

我現在可能有點生疏了。

And so I could definitely do more of these exercises.

是以，我肯定能做更多這樣的練習。

And I am not going to hide that at all.

我完全不會隱瞞這一點。

You're going to see me put this over this here momentarily.

你會看到我馬上把這個放在這裡。

And we'll just all be aghast at how horrifyingly bad I am.

我們都會驚訝於我的糟糕程度。

But just because I'm terrible doesn't mean this exercise is bad and that you shouldn't do it.

不過，我做得很糟糕並不意味著這項運動不好，你也不應該做。

You should do it and be better than me.

你應該這樣做，而且要比我做得好。

All right, so we're staying true to where this is right here.
