Whats the tool to make straight lines?

[@lou_ice2001]

Each brush has an option for opacity and straightness. The straightness option looks like a squiggly line. Click that icon and select 100% and you're ready to draw straight lines.

[@Thedailydrawchannel]

@@lou_ice2001 Thank you, got it

[@user-tq6fx7tl7e]

Can we do all that on actual paper?

[@user-tq6fx7tl7e]

@Jonas Aliti Berendt 7B Karlslunde Skole alright mate thanks

[@Macfionn]

I don’t know the person that “Concepts” has chosen to both narrate and illustrate these tuts, but you have chosen well! Keep this guy employed!

[@chantec2396]

this is great marketing for your app to hire a guy to teach everyone how to draw. immediately installed the app after the video ended. my favorite feature is the infinite canvas. thanks!

[@ConceptsApp]

Welcome to Concepts! :)

[@johnbachmann7567]

Yeah the color wheel and options on screen and the biggest reason for me to get the app was the infinite canvas. Brilliant idea!

[@covvardice8296]

The app is genuinely good

[@tomkirbygreen]

Awesome. I’ve been eagerly awaiting part 3. Mucho thanks to all involved.

[@maximilianmarkl5141]

We need more of those videos! It’s really good for beginners. These videos convinced me, that it’s worth to keep on learning and buying the pro version 👍🏼

[@erochas]

Excellent! Thank you so much. 🙏🏼

[@victordas588]

Sir I have been following you since a while now and i greatfully thankful you.. Thank you for all the help you gave us all. Cheers!!!

[@samuelguimaraes8760]

Thanks so much! It's a amazing draw class, and a appreciate so much. You are helping me a lot in process of learning how to draw. I was lost at the process, and you brought me light and direction. Thank you again!

[@alexisocasio6739]

Really appreciate the general drawing tutorials in addition to the demonstrations on the app. Looking forward to more videos of this kind and quality.

[@abhiblend]

Best perspective guide till date

[@powerofspiral9716]

Thank you so much, as beginner artist i cannot express my appreciation for all those awesome guides and tips!

[@davidwebb091370]

thank you very much for this channel! i'm a fan of this app!

[@IamMusicNerd]

I would love a tutorial on how to do text along curves in Concepts (ie, for round logo designs), where the text has outline, drop shadow, or glow effects. Thanks!

[@sev7n765]

Wow I want to learn this , thank you for your sharing

[@user-th5hb9rv2r]

thx bro! it's really important!) 👍🏾

[@adirajkumar]

Excellent Presentation 👍

[@the_drunkenangel2493]

I've been having trouble understanding this for a while, but this video helped me understand it better ty!

[@drawingarchitecture]

Correct in the explanation of the core concepts of perspective drawing. The only thing missing is how to gauge measured proportions in perspective - like how long/wide the window was supposed to be drawn. I think I’ll try out the app. I may use Concepts to explain drawing in perspective to students.

[@vladshadow6644]

Impressive. It's part 3 and ONLY from comments i get that it's kinda advertisement for an App. Tutorials are simple to understand. Quick but not fast enough to blow my brain. Relaxing voice. Relaxing music. Non-annoying human hand. I started trying again after long time to improve my drawing and with new understandings I just see new world. I understand now simple magic. My brain can focus again and i feel less stressed while I'm drawing. Just thanks.

[@leoherrberle5845]

Nice 👍. Thank you 🙏.

[@AliNashath]

Nice, this one seems to be great. Really informative. thanks

[@torykel4832]

Awesome so helpful ❤

[@farlaeza]

This video helped me so much!!!

[@jjamesadventure4269]

Awesome video! I have the pro version on both windows and ios. Can not recommend this app more, just love it. Thanks for the info!

[@IgorGrayVid]

Thank you so much. You are the first person who managed to make things understandable. I really gave up because I thought that I'm too old for this and I'm just not able to get my brain understand it. How wrong I was. Can't wait for your next videos.

[@vreddyravula]

Nicely explained

[@dwayneneckles]

Love the music

[@outdoorwithzee1298]

Very useful videos. Thank you. When is the next video coming up?

[@ff-mu6cc]

Cool!

[@jballs5434]

Hey, I am loving your videos. They are very helpful. There is an error in the description though. The music in this isn't Sunday Morning. Do you know the name of the particular track in this video? I love it and want to save it to my playlist that I use when I draw.

[@sivabalanj]

damn how long did i wait for this..... plz make the next one faster.......... i already know these stuffs....but still i want to watch these......

Question : is the Concept app (WIN) working with a digital pen display?(xp-22e) ( pressure sensetiv etc.)

[@funkazoid2511]

Great

[@fabrisss7430]

Nice video, what’s your setup to record such a video (lights, camera, foot ...) ? Thank you for your help.

اول تعليقHi❤️🔥

[@SergeMotovan]

It would be great to have perspective guidelines grid in Concepts like in Infinite Painter or smth like that.

[@KatinhoseTuelhinhos]

I love these videos. But I still dont get it, how do i rotate a box in perspective whilst maintaining the initial perspective? Like in a room not everything points to the same direction, if I rotate it how do you know for sure how it is gonna look

[@Ahmedkamel1925]

I love that

[@90samiska]

wow ty

[@royprince8575]

Thanks for your great tutorials! I would like to import a picture of a building and then trace over it in another layer. Is there a way to set up a perspective grid in another layer over the image as a perspective guide?

[@ConceptsApp]

I'm glad you liked them Roy! Perspective guides isn't available yet but it's on our list of things to include.

[@fidelisrichard9172]

👍👍👍

[@Romdryl]

The drawing parts are very helpful and great to watch, but more about the tools and app options would be even better. :)

[@ConceptsApp]

Thanks for your feedback Mike! There are a few dedicated tutorials about the apps functionality on our channel.

[@johnbachmann7567]

@@ConceptsApp great. I’m new to all of this digital art. I’m a tattoo artist since mid 90’s and I’m looking to start to draw on this fantastic new iPad Pro I just bought. Especially with apps like concepts . Looking forward to learning more from your videos. Stay well kind sir✌🏻

[@4bman88]

Thanks! I can learn a lot of skills

GIVE ME MORE!!! Way to less!! Best 3 parts i consumed, please please please more of it!!

Part 4 is out since last week!!!

[@acmedogs]

Great videos! What drawing tool are you using most of the time?

[@ConceptsApp]

I'm using an iPad Pro 12,9" with apple pencil. The app is called Concepts.

[@archlenisceron7596]

How we can do a diametric or trimetric isometric views. The grid can be edited or rotated with dimension in both sides at the same time? Also we need a fill tool a ruler tool and better tools for shape figures nos just arcs and circles. I hope listens for better upgrades with this app.

[@jordanweston9670]

This is a great video, very interactive and simple to follow. Shame i still suck at perspective lol, no matter how hard i try, i just can't grasp it.

[@ConceptsApp]

Thanks Jordan! If you're on iPad, with the latest update you can make experimenting with perspective quicker with our new perspective grid tools. Windows and Android versions are getting this functionality later this year.

[@samueltimothystebatienza3181]

Hi, I would like to ask if iPad Air 3 is still good for such drawings? Thank you for the response.

[@justanamethatiknow]

great video, can you do the next vid on the surface, to add some diversity, so its not just the ipad?

[@ConceptsApp]

Hi Erik. All the features used - except for the color palette - are available on surface as well. Is there something specific you'd like to see demonstrated on a surface device?

[@nottattooed]

Very impressed with this series of videos. What stylus is recommended? Is there one that works on IOS and Android?

[@ConceptsApp]

We recommend using the apple pencil on ios for the best experience. I think adonit dash 4 supports both but apparently it doesn't have pressure responce.

[@ai-whisperer]

Can you please list all the tools used in the workflow?

[@ConceptsApp]

Felt tip marker, Ballpoint pen (100% smoothing) and Soft Pencil.

[@MrLuckyLISS]

It's always fun when they teach perspective only on rectangular objects. And if I want to draw some object of a complex shape, or no corners at all? And how can I keep proportions even when rotating figures with corners?

[@ConceptsApp]

You're right, rotating objects or drawing more complex forms isn't quite as straight forward. Examples in this video are kept simple for the sake of clarity. Construction lines are touched on on our lines turorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2PbhWmcjKeXsKc More advanced methods of drawing in perspective probably deserve their own video.

[@MrLuckyLISS]

@@ConceptsApp Thx and sorry for the share of aggression, my ass is on fire from all this :D

Hi, which platform are you using Concepts on?

[@lou_ice2001]

What brush are you using?

[@ConceptsApp]

Felt tip marker, Ballpoint pen (100% smoothing) and Soft Pencil.

[@dh4444]

Perspective is actually my best part of my artistic skills.. Proportions is my worst So Rooms and stuff looks great but humans i draw looks like shit due to wrong proportions

[@ConceptsApp]

The other thing that makes drawing people challenging is the fact that we're used to seeing them all the time, so it's easy for us to spot even the smallest mistakes. Drawing say animals might be more gratifying to start with. Good luck!

[@untitled4573]

Is this software free for window and can I use xp or any drawing tablet

[@ConceptsApp]

Yes and yes!

[@maestroprob94]

Is there a tool to draw perfect circles and ellipses?

[@ConceptsApp]

For the time being this only exists on the iOS version on the iPad. Tap the "precision menu" and and then "guides". Alternatively you can use the objects found in the "import" menu.

[@vid_edu1818]

Whats the tool to make a perspective?

The perspective lines drawn in this video are made with the ballpoint pen tool at a 100% smoothing.

i guess theres no drawing assist for perspective like in procreate

Correct, this feature is not yet available in Concepts.

This isn’t anything new here.. I do “get” what yall are trying to do in terms of teaching people how to use these tools instead of relying solely on them first, with that being said, perspective drawing is much more than just having straight lines. I have been patiently waiting and following up now for 3 years about this app getting the interactive Perspective grids (not the current pictures of them you have to purchase) that do nothing. As a design, technical, and constructive app - this should have deployed when the app first came out. There are just simple features that an app should have in their base complex and then over time build upon to improve. As small as a feature this may be to some, it can be a huge deterrent to those of us that use this technique in our daily workflow. Oh .... and PLEASE give us a real eraser !!

[@ConceptsApp]

Hi Aric! Thanks for your support and feedback. We're currently focused on iCloud support, as well as getting the Windows and Android versions up to speed with iOS. We do recognise the importance of a perspective guides feature and it's on our list.

[@ValdemarDeMatos]

Concepts App Your app is great but at the end of the day I end up working with other apps for two reasons: 1. It’s difficult to remind the result of each tool. The icon only is misleading and confusing. The circle pallet is limited. The straight pallet doesn’t show the tool settings. 2. Missing a perspective tool. I understand your priorities but I also miss the interactive perspective tool and I also think it’s a must have feature for this kind of app. I hope you’re able to deliver it soon. Aric Cressey I also agree that the tool that looks like an eraser doesn’t work like an eraser. The name was changed to Mask tool that is more correct to what it does. To use what may work like an eraser you can use the Splice tool. It’s like a cutter and it really removes the portions of the object.

[@milenaguzman1986]

plis say things in Spanish if you can yes no no

[@ConceptsApp]

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Have you tried turning on closed captions (CC) on the bottom right, then setting Auto-translate to Spanish from the settings next to it?

[@Washingtonbertoni]

Don´t buy this software for Windows 10. This not working, I use Core i7, 16GB RAM, SSD 1TB, 1050 Ti and the software crash ever. I use for 5 minutes very slow and crash.

[@msec5656]

Should teach how to do a straight line first. Just the starting video, I'm confused. 👎🏻

[@ConceptsApp]

Thanks for your feedback. If you'd like to practise perspective drawing in Concepts like this, just adjust the smoothing to 100% in the tool wheel and you'll get straight lines.
