2. 0:01welcome to art with McKenzie thanks for
3. 0:04being here so we can do some art
4. 0:05together we are going to make something
5. 0:07awesome
6. 0:10be sure to check out my website netsy
7. 0:12page for all kinds of cool art for your
8. 0:14home
9. 0:16and welcome back
10. 0:18we are going to continue modeling our
11. 0:20T-Rex dinosaur
12. 0:23and I have a reference image up
13. 0:27because I want my dinosaur to kind of
14. 0:29have this General look
15. 0:32get your reference
16. 0:34um set it in the background and then
17. 0:37model it how you want or don't use a
18. 0:39reference image and just go off your
19. 0:40imagination
20. 0:42it's art you can do it any way you want
21. 0:45and I can't tell you exactly what I'm
22. 0:48doing keystroke for keystroke because
23. 0:50this is Art and you're going to do it
24. 0:51your way
25. 0:53and it won't be exactly like mine so um
26. 0:56I'm just going to kind of give you the
27. 0:57broad sense of what I'm doing
28. 1:00so we are going to start off with our
29. 1:01grab tool
30. 1:03and we're going to just start lightly
31. 1:05shaping
32. 1:07um
33. 1:08or T-rex head
34. 1:10into a more classic
35. 1:12T-Rex shape
36. 1:14and as we go along today I will be
37. 1:16giving you some fun T-Rex facts
38. 1:21uh
39. 1:23but that's only when we get to the fun
40. 1:25modeling and I'm telling you what I'm
41. 1:26doing
42. 1:28um
43. 1:29but for now I am just grabbing uh and
44. 1:31moving widening now
45. 1:33her boxy head
46. 1:36um moving out the back side of her eyes
47. 1:41and uh yeah that's this is what I'm
48. 1:45doing
49. 1:46uh and you do the same
50. 1:50so most of this would be done with your
51. 1:52grab brush for now
52. 1:55make sure your cursor is small
53. 1:57[Music]
54. 1:58um
55. 2:00and make small movements
56. 2:02and as a reminder hold down shift to
57. 2:05smooth out any area
58. 2:08that may get too bumpy or out of your
59. 2:10way
60. 2:12and as always Ctrl Z is your friend
61. 2:19[Music]
62. 2:27so as we move out her boxy head
63. 2:31it might be fun to know that the large
64. 2:34shape of her head
65. 2:38was really good for biting prey the
66. 2:41T-Rex had one of the strongest bite
67. 2:43forces of any land animal
68. 2:46ever
69. 2:48and that's due to her boxy boxy head and
70. 2:52muscular Jaws
71. 2:54so we want to reflect that in our model
72. 2:59[Music]
73. 3:04[Music]
74. 3:06and we're going to move her eyes out a
75. 3:08little bit as you adjust around her face
76. 3:10also adjust her eyes they're still
77. 3:13separate from the model
78. 3:14[Music]
79. 3:15um
80. 3:17so be mindful of that if you overextend
81. 3:21uh
82. 3:22your TRX model shape and her eyes look
83. 3:26sunken in just grab her eyes and move
84. 3:29them out
85. 3:33[Music]
86. 3:38and take a good Gander with her jaw
87. 3:40below
88. 3:42to kind of match it up with the top side
89. 3:45of her head
90. 3:50if she does shut her mouth
91. 3:52they'll line up
92. 3:55a little bit more accurately
93. 4:00we're just gonna lightly move out
94. 4:04her mouth again
95. 4:06[Music]
96. 4:11and I move to draw and we'll start uh
97. 4:15adding some detail to the top of her
98. 4:18head
99. 4:24and this is the detail that you want
100. 4:27you don't have to go with what I'm doing
101. 4:30and hold Ctrl while you have your draw
102. 4:33brush to take away from your model
103. 4:37and we'll put in some nostrils here
104. 4:40that large chamber behind her nose was
105. 4:45full
106. 4:46of
107. 4:49scent cells
108. 4:51that went to her extremely large Brain
109. 4:53if the T-Rex walks into a movie theater
110. 4:56a crowded movie theater she could pick
111. 5:00out every individual by scent alone that
112. 5:03is how amazing
113. 5:05uh her smell is
114. 5:11and we'll add some keratin
115. 5:14definition around her eyes
116. 5:18and these were thought to protect her
117. 5:20eyes uh in battle
118. 5:22like a lot of animals they bite each
119. 5:24other on the face and obviously with
120. 5:26those itsy-pinty little arms they
121. 5:29couldn't grab each other and hold each
122. 5:31other down
123. 5:32so they did
124. 5:34very often uh
125. 5:37bite each other in the face
126. 5:41and one of the great things about the
127. 5:43T-Rex and what makes her so Fierce is
128. 5:46she did not uh give a flying poop
129. 5:53about who she wanted to battle
130. 5:56she just didn't care
131. 5:57her estimated bite force was between 35
132. 6:01000 and 57 000 Newtons
133. 6:04which is twice the bite force of a
134. 6:06saltwater crocodile
135. 6:08and
136. 6:11that's that's what she used
137. 6:14to fight with
138. 6:16and she knew that if she grabbed onto
139. 6:19anything
140. 6:20uh and didn't let go it was not leaving
141. 6:23her mouth
142. 6:25so they would often fight other T-Rexes
143. 6:27uh and any other animal
144. 6:31and really not care because she was
145. 6:33really
146. 6:35the apex predator
147. 6:37probably of all time
148. 6:42and a lot of other dinosaurs at the time
149. 6:44knew to give her a lot of leeway when
150. 6:48she was walking around
151. 6:49because she was very violent very brutal
152. 6:53and love to fight she's a fighter she's
153. 6:56built for fighting her whole body is
154. 6:58designed to kill
155. 7:01[Laughter]
156. 7:05and when we go through
157. 7:07um
158. 7:08we'll add some more detail along her
159. 7:12neck
160. 7:12[Music]
161. 7:15these I like to think are veins
162. 7:19and not necessarily loose saggy skin
163. 7:23because the T-Rex ate uh lean meat so I
164. 7:28don't think they were very uh
165. 7:30fat and had a bunch of uh saggy loose
166. 7:34skin you don't really see that too much
167. 7:35in modern animals so I don't think you'd
168. 7:38see it too much in dinosaurs either
169. 7:41but we're gonna go ahead and add in uh
170. 7:43some veins and arteries and be mindful
171. 7:46of where your detail begins and ends
172. 7:51because we added all those vertices to
173. 7:53her head and not so many to her body so
174. 7:56there's going to be a bit of a
175. 7:57difference between
176. 8:00um your modeling detail
177. 8:03in that area so just be mindful of that
178. 8:06we'll add some striations for her neck
179. 8:09muscles
180. 8:11this T-Rex had a very strong neck to
181. 8:14keep and hold down her prey
182. 8:19and we'll form on her ears a little bit
183. 8:25now the back of her head was slightly
184. 8:27wider than the front of her head
185. 8:30and that helped with her binocular
186. 8:32vision
187. 8:35and that helped her judge the distance
188. 8:38for other animals
189. 8:40[Music]
190. 8:49I don't want to keep um
191. 8:52adding to the strength of her skull
192. 8:56[Music]
193. 8:57winding out that mouth
194. 9:00that looks kind of funny and back so
195. 9:01we'll probably fix that here in a little
196. 9:03bit but right now we're still uh
197. 9:05getting base details down nothing
198. 9:07nothing too fancy
199. 9:15and we'll work on the body start working
200. 9:18on
201. 9:21her pelvic bones
202. 9:23pop up a little bit you'll see them in
203. 9:25modern animals as well mostly lions
204. 9:28and that's you what I'm basing a lot of
205. 9:31my musculature on is uh the musculature
206. 9:35of
207. 9:36Lions trying to mix that up with uh
208. 9:39Birds
209. 9:41because of course
210. 9:43of course are
211. 9:44the precursor to birds but they were
212. 9:46also bipedal
213. 9:48and had to do a lot of running
214. 9:52so while they did have large muscles for
215. 9:54movement they also had a lot of tendons
216. 9:58and smaller twitch muscles
217. 10:01to help them move about
218. 10:04in the Cretaceous area
219. 10:09so we'll just add uh add what looks
220. 10:11right
221. 10:13um
222. 10:14add what looks natural I mean
223. 10:17every part of the T-Rex is all muscle
224. 10:21so she had stabilizing muscles on each
225. 10:24side of her tail
226. 10:26to help her
227. 10:28move quickly or as quickly
228. 10:32as an eight ton Beast
229. 10:34can move
230. 10:37and we'll throw in some
231. 10:40beginnings of her rib cage
232. 10:45and we'll smooth out what we don't like
233. 10:49[Music]
234. 11:02I'm just figuring out what we're gonna
235. 11:04do next
236. 11:07we'll work on her cheek flaps
237. 11:11so hit Ctrl R to add in some Edge loops
238. 11:13on the side and the front of her cheek
239. 11:16flaps
240. 11:18and we're going to start manipulating
241. 11:19this uh to fit her mouth so it's not
242. 11:22under just a square Cube inside of her
243. 11:24mouth
244. 11:26um
245. 11:27it's something we can actually work with
246. 11:30so we will add in our Edge loops and
247. 11:33subdivide
248. 11:40we'll get out of edit mode
249. 11:42we'll go into sculpt mode
250. 11:48take it to the grab tool
251. 11:51because we're gonna be doing a lot of
252. 11:52grabbing but at first hold down shift
253. 11:55start smoothing out the area that you
254. 11:58have
255. 11:59remember when you add
256. 12:02vertices and subdivide you want to
257. 12:05smooth out all your surfaces first
258. 12:06before you really start getting into it
259. 12:08make a cursor pretty big you want to
260. 12:11grab a lot of the
261. 12:13surface area
262. 12:15and lightly gently grab and move
263. 12:20our little
264. 12:22skin flaps cheek flaps
265. 12:26to where her mouth is
266. 12:29if you're going to
267. 12:30x-ray mode you'll see that part of our
268. 12:33skin flaps are inside of the mouth
269. 12:35that's okay for now but just be mindful
270. 12:38of it when you grab anywhere you can't
271. 12:41see
272. 12:42you're still going to grab part of your
273. 12:44model
274. 12:45so when you go down low
275. 12:48it's still grabbing
276. 12:52that that object
277. 12:56and we'll smooth out
278. 13:02and take a look
279. 13:05move a little bit more
280. 13:09now keep in mind that your mirror
281. 13:11modifier is still active on this part we
282. 13:16took it off just the
283. 13:18T-Rex model
284. 13:20but her eyes and her
285. 13:22[Music]
286. 13:23cheek flaps still have the mirror
287. 13:25modifier on them so it should be mindful
288. 13:27of that
289. 13:30we're going to lightly and carefully
290. 13:31smooth out her lips
291. 13:33we don't want
292. 13:35too many deviations inside of her mouth
293. 13:37this is for a future 3D printing
294. 13:42um if it gets too
295. 13:44too detailed and
296. 13:46rounded out it's going to be really hard
297. 13:48to have two surfaces to apply because
298. 13:52we're going to apply her teeth inside of
299. 13:54her mouth and a tongue inside of her
300. 13:55mouth
301. 13:56and if her mouth is uh has a lot of
302. 13:59detail and variations in it it's gonna
303. 14:01be a little bit harder later on
304. 14:06and we're going to go back to her eye
305. 14:11which we're about the size of softballs
306. 14:15that binocular vision
307. 14:18actually helped her
308. 14:19catch prey she could probably see up to
309. 14:22four miles away
310. 14:24a tiny little prey
311. 14:26in the bushes and weeds with her amazing
312. 14:29binocular vision
313. 14:32um but now we're getting past that ugly
314. 14:34mode that we were in earlier and she's
315. 14:37starting to get more of a ferocious look
316. 14:39to her
317. 14:41I'd say this is a good stopping point
318. 14:44we'll work more on her body and her feet
319. 14:46and arms later
320. 14:51thanks for doing art with me I had fun
321. 14:53and I will see you on the next video bye
