Block In Bootcamp, Lesson #2, Structural Style
🕑 Added 2022-05-20 10:17:28 +0000 UTCUPDATE: This video is the introduction to the structural style taken directly from The Block In Course. It is rigorously edited for clarity and many diagrams have been added to express the concepts with a crystalline clarity.
In this lesson we are going to practice a more structural (non-visual) style of block in. The focus will be on simplification of the planes and constructing a wireframe of the head. It's going to be a fun and challenging approach.

It works when I use Patreon in the mobile web browser instead of the app

There have been some outages lately on Vimeo. I am looking into changing the host g if all my lessons on the Patreon servers but the process is quite long winded. In the mean time if you can try to access the videos on a laptop or desktop comp they seem to have less frequent compatibility issues.

When you slice off a section of form, it can go through multiple planes.

On the small cube, the straith jawline goes through 2 planes ?

of all of the options, this is the one for me. i'm an architect, i need structure. my brain is hardwired to think in terms of measurements and comparisons. thank you!!

Thank you!

Cool. You got it right that the Bootcamp course can be taken first. The order is: visual, structural, then hybrid. It's in order on my navigation site: https://sbanavigation.com/collections/patreon/products/block-in-bootcamp

Thanks so much for replying Stephen. I thought the block in boot camp was the first course, my mistake. I’ve only just become a member. I’ll re start with visual style.

Hi Ruth- Have you tried the 1st Bootcamp lesson on Visual style? In that there are several moments where what and how I am measuring are explained. If so, then I can say the easiest way to understand it is to think in ratios. 1 width unit goes into the height 2 times. There is also this tutorial: https://sbanavigation.com/collections/patreon/products/studying-proportions

Hi Stephen, I'm totally lost with the measuring part, do you have a tutorial specifically on how to measure? I don't know why Im finding it so difficult but I can't seem to grasp it and getting dissalusioned. Many thanks

Thanks for the input- always valuable! Both cameras are the same Lumix GH5's. The streaming software I use is Ecamm rather than OBS. This jumpyness that you are talking about I have noticed as well- can't seem to figure out exactly what it is since I have always shot and streamed at 30 fps. Am looking into it though!

video is awesome, I really enjoyed the information, but consider maybe using the video camera that's on you to film the artwork, it's way more clear, the pencil drawing is at like 12fps it feels like, it's also seems to be suffering from encoder compression. (this could be fixed I'm guessing by using OBS to record the local stream and uploading that.) The color sphere and grisaille were super smooth I'm not sure what the issue is.

Hi Stephen,Great lesson I can not find your discord. Can you send me an invite ? Thank you
Stephen Bauman Artwork
Sounds good. Will likely get into this towards the end of the stream.

Yay, this is going to help my construction so much! No more guessing planes...Thank you Stephen!

Hello Stephen! I have heard you mention how it's important to transition the lines we establish into corresponding planes. I'd love to hear more about that concept and how you translate everything not only via value, but in structure and form early on.
