Copic Marker Rendering: sci-fi truck

[@POTSOJ]

ahh the pleasure of having worked all week and watching drawing tutorials on youtube.

[@raw_pc]

Guys for those who have problem with the blending the copic markers bare in mind that you need to use marker paper. It will make the ink flow on the surface for few seconds so you can then mix your values. With regular paper ink will soak into the paper immediately and dry really quickly.

Pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@matthewthaddeus6673]

@Rene Kohen Yea, have been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)

[@Cearts]

Your videos and books have helped me understand the image making process and develop drawing confidence massively. To have lessons from you in person one day is a goal.

[@theundead1600]

Thank you for this quick tutorial. I'm working on learning digital but still do lots of sketch book work. It can go anywhere kayaking or on vacation. Seeing you work teaches me alot about working on values, efficiency, and good progression. Thank you again.

[@ChasingNirvana]

Even God spares few mins of his busy schedule just to watch you do wonders Sir!! You are truly an inspiration!! _/\_

[@BoyanGrigorov]

Scott it is great that you are doing those videos - really helping the community. Excellent job!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yes, I wanted to just wash it with a little value and color so the line drawing was still showing through a lot. Kind of like old architectural watercolor illustrations where you can still easily read the line drawing.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

The original sketch was done in my sketchbook using a Zebra ballpoint pen. Then it was printed out on a laser printer before adding the marker work to it.

[@Gr8Success]

i have your book which has on the cover this vehicle as a line work . it's nice to see the rendered version of that . great job Scott

[@scottrobertsondesign]

+Gr8Success Thanks!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

I usually work on A4 or in an 8 1/2" x 11" sketchbook before scanning to render. This demo was on an 8 1/2" x 11" printout of the original sketch from my sketchbook.

[@w0mblemania]

Excellent work Scott. Thanks so much for sharing these videos with us.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Panasonic is usually a good choice. Some don't fit the larger diameter of the pencil.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Thanks, we're hoping for mid September. It's going well right now and we are getting closer to completion. Back to work on it now!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Just on this sketch as I wanted to have a lot of the original drawing show through. Usually I skew towards much more black than white as well.

[@FunkyLittleWhiteGirl]

I have learned so much from this video!! And to think I initially passed over it because it was a truck. lol I'm so glad I rolled with it. Hehe I've subscribed. Thank you for sharing your talent and skill!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Looks like the geo forms might be back on for production. All shadow construction techniques will be in my book, How to Render.

[@upstartclient]

Thanks so much Scott! I look forward to these every week!

[@johnkelley9877]

Excellent work! Thanks for sharing this.

[@himate7572]

Man, this guy's a legend

[@nervedown666]

Very VeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVery useful! Thanks Scott!

[@CENTURION.CARPATIC]

Great design! Awesome tutorial!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yes, I like all of their works, good stuff!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

I do not. I do what you are doing, a copy or a print out. Pilot Hi Tec pens work but they are not ballpoints. I work with markers light to dark.

[@arncj18]

even more impressive when you think it's copy paper. And i like how you pointed out on larger paper you'd get in trouble using these markers, bc of the travel distance of the line. So i wonder what you use on larger format? or is it just acrylic paint? Also i was thinking about framing some of your sketches, could i have your blessing and maybe point me in a direction where ican find 300pi jpegs of yours?

[@GroovThe]

I like the warmer one a lot more :) . I have noticed you are not really using pure black but a lot of pure white... which is exact oposite of what others teach... ?

[@k0walsk]

Awesome, thanks a lot. One question: the contrast is not particularly high, is there a specific reason for that?

[@BartzConcept]

Really enjoyed this one Scott! cheers!

[@JewishImpactFilmz]

Can you recommend a good sharpener for prisma color pencils - great vid - always a pleasure

[@mxferro]

You have any tutorials on doing other materials? I'd like to be able to do a wider range of wood based renderings (for furniture design,etc). Also, I have many of the older marker books such as Dick powells presenation book. The technique though only works if using solvent based markers, like the old Speedry marker canister felt ones done on top of ball pt pen. Do you ever use AD markers or other solvent markers that allow for that kind of technique?

[@Meodidar]

great tutorial. Can I ask you please what kind of ellipse guide template are you using? thank you

[@squash2097]

this is so rad! thanks mr. robertson!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

My set is made by Pickett. It's 26 years old though.

[@NiccAbc]

Hello! I just finished watching your highly informative DVDs on matte surface rendering. You mentioned in the DVD's that Neville Page was planning to make a tutorial on shadow constructions as well as making those geoforms you used available for purchase. I can't find either. Do you know if Mr. Page has changed plans? I would love to get a set of those geoforms!

[@Driftload]

I would say that the way the marker was applied over the underbody lost some of those amazing sci-fi sketch details on the underside/chassis, and that maybe some more aggressive darker lowlights where the wheel meets the ground- maybe darker than the drop shadow could accentuate the fantastic stance of this truck!

[@alexismorin2374]

Hi, what kind of paper do you use please ? :) Thanks for your tutorial, it's a pleasure to see them.

[@novusvoss]

Absolutely love watching you work and explain while I'm working myself. :) It's awesome to see you mix all those different tools and more importantly make it work! I gotta say tho I'd have loved to see you take a really dark marker or pen and add in some thin AO under the tires, in between the gear beneath the tank (sorry I don't know the real labels for those parts) and so on, just to give it another level of contrast. But I'm sure you had you're reasons not to do that and it looks great without it as well!

[@marisbra]

Wow! Amazing job!

[@mariopozuelos2063]

Bravoo !!! this tutorial is very awesome !!!

[@immortaliserwow]

Long ago when the world was young and the cool was pure...it shall be known as Protocool !

[@scottrobertsondesign]

If I said that, it is just one of many "spoonerisms" I have said over the years! Adds a little flavor to the tutorial. :)

[@mxferro]

hello Mr Robertson, I wanted to ask do you know of ANY ball point pen that can be used as the base drawing and not smear using Copic (or equivalant) markers? I have been either doing a photocopy of the drawings or print out from art program. I'd like to corporate more "loose" sketches during conceptualization and use the markers to emphasize color/shading. I have doing the same techniques as Oliver Neuland, and so far it has worked. Do you also work shadows/dark to light?

[@Septix]

Mr. Scott and his number "5" ;) everywhere even in blast ;D

[@mont95611]

Hey Scott can u make one of these again but in full color bcz this one is mainly value with a bit of color spot

[@geekliberty]

Reminds me of the ground transit vehicle from Prometheus. Have you ever been consulted by directors for production design?

[@mxferro]

what size papers are you using? I have 2 of your videos (drawing cars and the rendering no3) and you don't say what size are you using A4 or A3 size?? tabloid? etc?

[@squash2097]

Thank you Mr. Robertson!

[@majiorman1]

Hi, First, Thanks for the tutorial, but do u have any basic tutorials online?

[@nachoyague]

Sweet, Scott.. Sweet

[@person8203]

Just started with markers. Do you think there's much between copic, letraset and shinhanart?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

+person8203 Never tried Shinhanart. But between the other two I prefer Copic.

[@TruckMechaAddicted]

What Kind/brand of Pen or ink did you use to create the contours of the truck?

[@09monos]

Deep bow Sir! Great results and helpful tutorial! Thanks! (When do you think that book will be out?)

[@tensevo]

Great work!

[@BrunoCornelsen]

Awesome, as always. Thanks!

[@yvettesosa2462]

Its hard to find the Copic Sketch markers gray sketch

[@200YearsTogeth3r]

thats beautiful...

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Sounds good.

[@hawk08ht]

Thank you again for awesome info and posting your line art work on Instagram :)

[@DynastyTragdyzZ]

I dig the warmer one alot more :3

[@AverusMuto]

what are those green things?

[@1b2cxd]

great tutorial thanks for the share!!

[@friedbrain]

what kind of brush are you using for the white highlights?

[@SteinerArts]

Mr. Robertson, do you like the works of Ron Cobb, Syd Mead? Are you familiar with the works of a guy named Rob Cunningham?

[@sebastianfernandez8581]

great tut, thank you so much

[@vector2234]

can you explain how to render a vehicle from 2d into 3d??

[@Super-wk6jx]

I tested copics today never tried it. i will buy the 72set kinda cool

[@Keyhan-c8c]

Did you study on this way when u begined your university ?

[@AverusMuto]

thank u scott

[@Zusu90]

This was awesome to watch! I hope you do some more traditional medium renderings in the future Scott.

[@heymikomiks]

Nice video sir! question, how do you scan and edit that properly?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Just recording a couple of clips via a Nikon D800. Simple editing in Screenflow.

[@heymikomiks]

ohh okay sir.. but I meant, like scanning to a computer and editing the scanned art?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Photoshop.

[@ikmalaizad4717]

do we have to use gouache with some water??

[@scottrobertsondesign]

+pokjak syabu Yes, water is what you mix with gouache to thin it down as much as you like.

[@piti466]

una pregunta como consigo marcadores como los tuyos

[@kieranbooth6752]

very helpful. thanks!

[@lustwaffe9000]

what markers are those??

[@TheDunya452]

Can someone tell me whats the JOB of who creates/desingn video game characters or backgrounds for it..?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

The job title is commonly "Concept Artist."

[@IhebJbeli]

Scott i have a probleme with those Markers... what you advice me :/

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Cannot say without knowing the problem.

[@IhebJbeli]

:D it s the first time you answer me :D god! your for me more than a rockstar :D can not imagine you did answer :D anyway my probleme is when i did start coloring this Copic, they did leave some marks! and i didn t get an homogeneous layer... did you get me?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

iheb j Ha! Thanks. You need to flood the area with ink quickly and do not try to slowly fill it in with consistent slightly overlapping strokes. Also you might try working on "marker paper."

[@IhebJbeli]

Scott Robertson your welcome, and thank you for the advice specially about the speed! i didnt know it but i was thinking the same about the paper even if i believe that it s not the tools wich make the difference but the person, your are so much latented and you did work hard, i can see that just from how you move your pincel, you have the speed and the prevision of things, and when i think that you did draw and design the toys with it you played as a child, i can ust say i will never be someone like you, comparing to you i'm an absolute 0 :)

[@TheCombatartist]

I will always prefer traditional rendering vs. Photoshop.

[@snowface27]

This is so cool there should be a new word for it

[@tarbaganawd5577]

THANK YOU BROO!)Amazing

[@harrypotty5643]

hey where did you get you ellipse guide.

[@scottrobertson2755]

Bought them 29 years ago. You can find guides on Amazon.

[@harrypotty5643]

cheers

[@hibiscusflower5911]

2:40 "Value graphics, proximity based styling lecture" can someone point me towards that lecture? Great vid

[@alig3841]

If you never found. It's unlisted for some reason. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5XYkGWYisx6bZo

[@marioneTTeHD]

Eres inspiración Scott.

[@martindesignstudio596]

nice

[@mousehead7102]

Q: What kind of paper did you draw on??

[@scottrobertsondesign]

송찬호 Just some sort of copy paper. This was a scan of an original sketch I printed and then added the marker on top of.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Ellipse guides.

[@heycarolineday]

"I am going to marker this with renders." Hahaha

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Not until my How to Draw book is completed.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Those old solvent markers are too toxic to use, so no.

[@p5rsona]

God

[@syremedia]

how are tutorials like this helpful? My professor told us to use this but I cant learn anything when hes talking, speeding through and not mentioning when he changes markers etc. Not helpful

[@casualsapiens]

Did u apologise from yourself :D

[@MatthieuArmengau]

It looks like a zamboni

[@artfx9]

hello

[@etherialwell6959]

yeah sure... future will bring us trucks without suspension, of course.......
