I love how practical and to the point this is. Instead of confusing us with endless tutorials and theory that we may not even know how to apply. Thank you mr Finch!

[@DavidFinchartist]

The good news is that I don't really understand any of that theory stuff either. So I can't go down that road. I've seen books that really get deep with it, and my eyes glaze over. I just want to know ways to make things work in a way that's practical for a workflow.

@@DavidFinchartist Do you also use 3D programs like Blender? Which is free by the way. That way you get your perspective for free and a good basis for a car drawing. I made this kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6KWaIWXncaqjJY and want to take this as a basis to make a car painting someday.

My dad is an architect and he used that app that you're using and when I was younger and I used to play that app. Thank you for this tutorial my drawing has been improving for the last couple of months ❤️

It's incredibly versatile, for sure!

[@shubhrajani5785]

What app please?

[@RaizPodre]

One of best tips that I recivied was "draw like a sculptor" and this is exaclty what was this video!

[@tntkop]

For young artists just starting out, drawing reference lines (grids) is the best trick I learned in college years ago. Oddly enough, I learned it from another art student, not from the instructor. I used to struggle getting the proper size perspective. I’d draw. Erase. Draw. Erase. Draw. Erase. Draw. Erase. Finally a buddy tells me to do those perspective lines FIRST. and more lines, the better. Just make them light so they can be easily erase or drawn over. I’d always done perspective lines when drawing buildings, houses, etc. But it never dawned on me to draw perspective lines for OBJECTS, like cars, tractors, boats, airplanes. This trick did a couple of things for me: 1. My sizing was more accurate. 2. I save a ton of time. 3. I was able to complete drawings much faster, thereby enabling me to do more drawings in less time. 4. I SAVED MONEY. I spent far less money on erasers, paper and pencils. 5. And lastly, my works were much, much better because I was less frustrated and more relaxed, which resulted in better pieces. That was one of the best tips I’d ever received.

[@hanh7395]

I love that you're honest about rarely using the perspective guideline and just eyeballing it when actually illustrating cars for your work - cause following the perspective 'box' guidelines to a tee sometimes make the overall thing we're drawing stiff, plus surely after drawing for awhile you'd just need basic perspective guidelines instead of the box

[@joeblankenship377]

Lol you're drawing my car! I drive an 05 Taurus. And I definitely needed this video. Last time I tried to draw a car, it didn't turn out so great.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Haha, that's great! I wanted to pick a car that you would see out there on the street commonly, rather than a supercar that may be fun to draw, but probably not the most practical example.

[@labsquadmedia176]

That 90 degree ellipse tip is gold. I had to actually sketch it out to wrap my mind around what you were saying but I got it. Thanks.

I learn how to draw cars from looking a pictures from real cars. It took me a while but practice make you better at it. Now I use my own design so I don't use picture anymore.That perspective design doesn't work for me it takes longer to draw a car. My strategy is choosing the right angle and follow the lines to make a 3d design of a car.

I just wanted to say that this channel is amazing, I never thought I would see such amazing techniques all in one channel. Your channel is an inspiration to all artists out there, I was wondering when working with comics, did you ever draw the character called the huntress from the DC comics branch? I feel that it is a character not many people know about or draw, but I think her story is very unique.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thank you! I have drawn the Huntress for DC before, but only here and there. Never as a major character in anything I've done so far.

Really, it's cool to know that you drew the huntress from DC before, I wish this character was more popular because her style is very interesting. Again thank you for an amazing channel, you are an inspiration.
