How to Draw Anything with the help of basic shapes

This video shows you the trick on how to draw almost anything by breaking it down into the simplest shapes. Use cubes and cylinders to recreate everything within your drawings. With the knowledge from my previous fundamentals videos this is the next step towards better drawing.

That's incredible! As a total beginner I always start drawing a complex object as a complex object instead of drawing it from simple shapes. Thanks!

[@robertlkiss]

I'm glad I could help :)

[@El_Simpaticko]

I work with 3D mechanical design for about 14 years now, but I never actually had drawn even a signle shape (correctly) by hand. So I found those videos and there crazy good! I mean my brain is making those crazy connections now between the shapes and how to draw them .

[@robertlkiss]

I am very happy to hear that you found the video useful ^_^

[@kreativechaosguides4821]

seriously am i the only one who thought this channel is incredible. the only resource i see for industrial design that actually explains how to do stuff step by step. do i even have to go to school? lol thanks for the video my dude!

[@robertlkiss]

Thank you very much for the kind words I really appreciate it! Please don't leave school :D But just for drawing it's not necessary although you can learn a lot of other useful stuff there! :)

I can already say this video is a blessing. I was struggling a lot with either not knowing basics or trying to learn ultra-complicated sketching. This falls right into what I was needing. Thank you for taking time to teach us!

[@robertlkiss]

Glad o read that you found this video useful!

[@trent797]

Thank you for your great videos. I am studying drawing in general as a hobby, and I found that industrial design teaches you how to REALLY draw. So I've been really getting a lot of value from your lessons.

[@robertlkiss]

Thank you very much! Industrial design type sketching is definitely a great basis and teaches you most of the important fundamentals. I would recommend doing figure studies(as soon as corona allows it) because there is nothing better for learning the human body than doing live figure drawing! Also have fun with drawing :)

[@gael606]

Totally agree!

[@sonaligupta1118]

stumbled upon thousands of videos before finding this one and I gotta say, thank you for making things seem easier. I finally am stress free and all set to draw.

[@robertlkiss]

I am very happy to hear that you found my video useful, no one should draw while stressed by it!

[@An.Unsought.Thought]

I think a great way for people to understand the importance of basic shapes and forms is: Put yourself in the shoes of a 3D artist. If you are trying to get into a design job, eventually your designs will need to be handed off to a 3D artist to model. Now fortunately for the 3D artist they are given the shapes and forms automatically. Perspective is done for them. Unfortunately for us designers, if we get even one angle wrong, the poor 3D artist will be scratching their head trying to figure out why what they are doing is looking wrong. They start out with basic shapes and they make cuts and extrudes and bevels and projections and whatever else they need to, to get that basic shape to look like our designs. And their programs they use are very precise! So it makes sense that we should aim for that level of precision. Draw like a 3D artist models! The chances for mistakes will go way down.. And honestly I find it fun to be this precise. Freehand doodling has its place... but eventually you will need to design something that only exists in your brain. And for that, it's very helpful to know how to draw, even a cube, in perspective, at any angle. If you can do a cube, you can make a series of cuts to practically make it any shape.

[@mirhasanoddname]

I did this the other day when I drew a couple of flowers but I didn't think much of it, so thank you for making me see how to use it for everything else 😊

[@robertlkiss]

Very good if you have this down you'll be able to draw most everything.

[@Freeasacloud]

This is great i learned a lot! I drew along side you and it was really great, super thankful since I’ve had trouble simplifying basic shapes, and everywhere you go no one actually super much explains it? So thanks a bunch! 🤗

[@robertlkiss]

Thank you for your kind comment, happy to hear you found it useful!

[@afri-cola1594]

Thank you for the video! I was learning 3D modeling before I decided to learn drawing as well and I can say with confidence that looking at every object from the perspective of its primitive shapes is absolutely fundamental and helps a hell lot down the line!

Thank you so much! I was searching on the whole KZbin for a video that will help me understand the basics of 3D object design! I'm starting my portfolio for applying to a university and I don't have the basic knowledge into this domain, even though I have knowledge of 3D modeling, when it comes to sketch it on paper I'm a total noob. 😂

[@robertlkiss]

Don't worry about it, sketching is not the most important if you are fast and efficient with 3D you should be good ;)

[@MishikiCrisy]

@@robertlkiss I wish... this university requires around 20 50x70cm project sketches, all traditional media. You can add digital, but they should not be included in the 20 drawings (or 2 A3 drawings on a page). The admission exam is also on paper, so... we can't cheat 😂
