page 018: freehand ellipses

[@jimmcneill]

Great idea about being aware of your arm being in line with the minor axis. The book is absolutely fantastic!

why is this comment 6 years old if the video release 20.07.20

[@user-sc9ht2tb7u]

Cursed comment

[@jimmcneill]

That's strange--I posted this when I first bought the book 6 years ago. There were links to the videos in the book itself. Maybe the videos were just made public recently.

Wtf 6 years?????

[@user-gs2mh5hj9x]

THE FU*K HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE Are you time traveler?????????

I just discovered this channel, and GOD this is good material I love when I have a clear path to mastery and practice! thank you!

[@ragemaster2]

Wow blast from the past, I remember you did this demonstration years ago. When I have not sketched in a couple of days Or don’t know what to sketch break out the free hand Ellipse exercise.

[@kilianstarzengruber6835]

Thanks! Your humor is great and I had trouble understanding what was ment by degree when I read through the book. So please keep making these, they are fun and helpful to watch

[@ascensionindustries9631]

Thanks for the new posts Scott! You've been an inspiration for years.

[@DennisCNolasco]

Excellent tips Scott, I just got your book!

[@HdGinKay]

Loved the training exercise to draw ellipses with constraints. Thank you.

[@JimmyLundberg]

Ok so I don't draw and just stumbled upon this, but it's somehow so interesting that I'd watch page 001 to 999 without skipping if there was a playlist with 'em. I have no idea what an ellipsis in perspective looks like but I'm dying to know now.

[@paul.quappe]

thats the neat part about ellipses the keep being ellipses lol a circle however becomes an ellipse. and when you rotate a circle in perspective the ellipse stays the same *mindblow*

If you relax your hand, everything will work out)

[@The72challenger]

I place my pinky down on the paper as an extra steady support...try it, might help a little.

[@katesill1987]

More training videos please. :-)

[@thejakobistable]

I dont know if you intend on doing more instructional videos about your books but I would really appreciate a quick video about the content of the p57. I dont know where to get the "correct" ellipse from. Have a great day

[@user-r1g5i]

How many years does it actually take on average to become proficient in drawing more-or-less clean ellipses? Or how many tens/hundreds of A4 pages?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Really I have not seen a average time, but in the past when I was teaching in person everyone in the drawing class would have at least the ability to recognize when the ellipses were wrong and know how to fix them by the end of the 14-week class, even if they could not draw great ones by hand just yet. Sketching them loose and using ellipse guides to tighten them is the most efficient way of working.

[@user-r1g5i]

Thank you, sir!

[@ChJelinek]

I tried using tracing paper for this exercise, it's faster to fold and easier to see through. The friction isn't the best but it works :). Can't wait to get further.

[@ha_anzu]

Mr.robertson i was wondering if you could show us a bit about your 3d modeling approach in modo? and do you usually do subd and plygon modeling or parametric modeling

[@EvilMP5]

Scott, I have purchased both books "How to Draw" and "How to Render" but a technical question I have is what type of paper is used for the overlays? I like to use a mix of ink style instruments such as fountain pens, Radiograph pens, and Copic Fineliners. Is there a type of paper that can be used for an overlay that will handle those paper mediums?

Very helpful 🍀

Please release your books on Kindle.

[@giuseppenativo2123]

Not possible. The book is interactive. An amazing book. You need a smartphone/tablet with it if you want to enjoy the recorded videos hided inside

[@khusrouf]

@@giuseppenativo2123 that's what I meant, the kindle app on pc etc.. Unfortunately the books are only in printed format

[@giuseppenativo2123]

@@khusrouf the shame is more about the beautiful colors of the book. I would never miss those pages and drawings

Which book is this associated with? I can't find it mentioned anywhere.

[@johnoswald9143]

The achilles heel, freehand ellipses. Again a master of your trade, I wish I could get a freehand ellipse to 50% your accuracy 😂

[@CharacterDev77]

Hello Scott, I need some help with your texture bombing tut on youtube kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp6nh52br9xqpNU Modo want allow me to use projection types and mirror, Those options are unavailable when using the texture replicator but when the texture replicator is unselected all of those options returns as far as the projection type option and mirror option. I just can't get the texture to mirror with texture replicator. I want to also use planar projection but I can't with texture replicators. Any suggestions I really would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
