How To Draw Guns

[@froznpyro]

References are always a good idea, but knowing how something operates will be incredibly valuable in making designs believable.

[@mr.harrow3405]

You Can find some nice simulator that allows you to see every pieces of a lot of weapon, and how they work. I learn on it how to assemble and diassemble a M1911, a derringer... I love the mecanical process in weapons, perfectly using physics to made those things work. This video was unexpected, but i love it

[@froznpyro]

@@mr.harrow3405 I love checking those out! It's crazy how intricate some of the cycling operations can get.

[@JP-qb3ny]

Agree. Go one step further and build your own AR or take a gun apart put it back together.

[@ReblazeGaming]

@@mr.harrow3405 Where can I find a simulator like that?

[@mr.harrow3405]

@@ReblazeGaming search for World of Guns : Gun Disassembly On Steam or Somewhere else.

[@michaelbarletta1024]

I once heard (I believe from Sinix) that when drawing guns, or really anything that has a utilitarian purpose, you need to focus on getting just one part right, in the case of a gun it would be the handle and trigger because it has to fit into the hand. The rest Can be whatever shape you want really(if you’re designing the gun yourself). For cars it would be the wheels because they need to contact the ground. Basically it’s the part of tool or object that interacts with reality. It grounds it into something we can relate to.

[@Angweenie]

This is great advice

[@Flancc]

Really appreciate the advice coming from 2 years ago

[@palicoes6354]

@@Flanccfuck yeah!

[@smeminem1258]

a trick i picked up when drawing people holding guns is to basically trace a stright line from their eyes to the sights and then you can use that line to draw the upper rail of the rifle, then fill in the bottom parts, this allows you to also change the rifle if you're having a hard time drawing a specific rifle

[@luibond9418]

Oh the use of the eraser is clever never thought of that

[@notaperson3786]

The last gun kinda looks like the plasma rifle from Doom Eternal. Its awesome, great video, Dave!

[@esamlyr]

always there when needed, that's my teacher..

[@angelmorales8874]

Hi, mr. Finch i just wanted to share an idea that crossed my mind while watching your videos. My idea is that when you make video tutorials the monday stream could be a character that is know for that specific tutorial, for example cable for guns, beast for fur etc. (Excluding buildings and stuff) Just an idea, love you art😁🤘

[@mooner_art7345]

Actually that's brilliant good idea

[@samankucher5117]

Great idea.

[@Sky_TEC_Illustraition_Systems]

Or you could just suck it up. Check out the tutorials he's already done (all forty four of em) spend the twelve hours a day for a week and do it yourself. Just saying.

[@bhokuamaas2062]

Oh! I was just thinking to learn this! Thanks, sir!

[@RgSkyhawk]

This video is an amazing find to me... The fact that you go into detail and mention the parallax that happens with bifocal vision is incredible to me. I was two when I had one of my eyes removed so I have basically no concept of this. I've always known that I probably see things a little differently but it's never been described to me. This tutorial blew my mind. Even watching back I still can't quite grasp what it's like.

[@simileee]

That eraser usage for the models is actually INSANE. It changed everything for me

[@M3ATSHAKE]

Great video again Dave. I think it's great how you show basic shapes just like in anatomy!

[@TK-421_66]

Now I can draw that phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. Thanks Dave!

[@troupsterT]

With a sheer stroke of luck I won an original piece of David’s art in a raffle at Boston Fan Expo in 2019. It’s one of my most prized possessions. It was drawn in a sketch-off panel. It’s squidward earring a chicken leg. It’s amazing.

[@moonieburgundy]

Now I can finally make my Nuclear Star Disintegrator 3000 Class-S Transmogrifier Black Hole-inator!

[@martinapaloo6514]

Too much for my brain 🧠

[@dall6]

[@sivartb7273]

@@gulzarsingh3681 Doofensmertz:Yes Perry, your suspicions were correct. You were hit with my new drawinator. It makes all drawings real and renders real items into harmless drawings.

[@siddharthmohanty5341]

Once made a drawing of Cable really struggled with this part, thanks for this tutorial David ❤️

[@theoutlawking9123]

Knowing that you love guns and gun characters makes me want to see you do a PUNISHER book!

[@ANIMOWANYLUDEK]

You are professional!

[@deansullivan6418]

I started off watching Jim lees work but then you showed up David! your an astounding artist and very in depth. I enjoy these a lot thanks so much!!

[@tk36864]

Great watching you work Dave, it gives me a greater appreciation of the amount of time to draw this, and ink it too!

[@TheOrlil]

Thats actually free, amazing work

[@bria1648]

Just what I was drawing. And needed. And was shooting this morning.

[@ericascott9323]

Thanks, Dave!

[@vercinsogolon4345]

Was sketching some buildings while while watching (moreso listening) to this video, looked up at 16:04 and though my dude switched to drawing autonmobiles. Anyway, watched the video a couple times now, I haven't applied this video to drawing guns, yet, but it has helped me with drawing comic book hi-tech stuff in general so far.

[@walkingcanopener147]

Thanks again Dave. These tutorials are a huge help. You’ve done some on how to draw city’s but I’d like to see more if you can.

[@Neffariousnyc]

I love the "exploded" view of things. It's a great way to see all those exciting internal parts

[@benaiahcampbell4783]

[@bendellinger9973]

Hey David, can you do for one of your livestreams can you draw darth Vader from Star Wars. I really would love to see you draw some armor in your style and I could pick up tips in. Also thanks for everything you do to help other artists out. Your definitely 1 of the main people I’ve learned to draw from and enjoy watching. Thanks.
