Lesson 7: An Introduction to Drawing Vehicles

And finally, the last dynamic sketching lesson has been updated - this week, Drawing Vehicles. This one isn't that different from last week's Everyday Objects, but with the increase in scale of the objects in question, proportion becomes a much more significant concern. This video focuses on...

Measuring in Perspective: Constructing to Scale

While doing research for the last two exercises I've updated (6 and 7), I've delved a bit more into technical perspective, and ways to take advantage of certain tricks and techniques without having to explicitly rely upon vanishing points. This is an extension of the video I posted last week...

Perfect Circles and Cubes in 3D Space

This is something that's confused me immensely for quite a while, and I've seen that a lot of people have felt the same way. Since I don't deal with plotted perspective much, I've mostly just ignored it but it has had some negative impacts on my work in the past. So, here's the r...

Lesson 6: An Introduction to Drawing Everyday Objects

The majority of the things we deal with on a regular basis tend to be quite geometric, and can usually be simplified into boxes and cylinders. As such, it's often most effective to consider these objects as merely being arrangements of those forms, and to completely ignore the object itself. In ...

Lesson 6: Computer Mouse Demo

Another flood of videos, this time updating lesson 6 (drawing everyday objects). Primarily focused on the use of geometric primitives (mostly boxes and cylinders), and how to leverage them to produce the majority of hard surface objects we use on a daily basis.This one in particular is unique among ...

How to Draw an Airplane (Sky-sausage)

I did this demo for a student last night, figured it'd be worth sharing. I absolutely LOATHE drawing airplanes, but this didn't turn out quite as badly as I'd expected.

Tackling the Rotated Boxes Exercise

http://imgur.com/gallery/vWktmMy original notes on the rotated boxes exercise were a bit lacking (and the demos had some glaring perspective mistakes in them that were a bit embarrassing) so I set aside some time today to redo them in greater detail.Hopefully this helps explain how to go about tackl...

Constructing an Interior Environment Cutout

This is a demo I did way back when I started /r/ArtFundamentals. I was drawing an interior environment design for my portfolio (was getting ready to apply to studios for a job) and I recorded the process just in case it went well. Turns out it went well enough, and while this demo is quite old, it&#...
