plane_sketching_001

Just time enough for a quick one this week. The subject is sketching aircraft as I'm working hard on this chapter right now for the "How to Draw" book...got to get it done!

[@RKronso]

Scott, thank you very much for uploading these videos. As an aspiring concept artist these videos are invaluable. I could never talk down the importance of just practice and plain old hard work, but even after hours and hours of practice, watching you solve different problems and work out different forms in space can quickly help me learn how to solve problems that would have taken infinitely longer on my own. All I can do is express my thanks and ask for you to please continue posting!

[@Redrosefortomorrow]

love the videos, great inspiration in the morning before painting.

[@archofficial1922]

Watching your methods helped me a lot in placing objects into a box in perspective, so to speak.

[@jardiS2]

i have just managed to get into university to study video game art and illustration, your videos have shown me some amazing techniques and have inspired me a great deal so thanks a lot!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

That is a Jimnie Light by Zebra. They are no longer in production but I think the refill is BR-6A-H-BK and you can find other pen holders that have this cartridge in them. Also a god pen is the Power Tank by UNI.

[@fjoo]

These short videos are great inspiration for the upcoming weekends where I have time to work on my own things. Thanks for that! Looking forward to the book! Will be adding it to my Scott Robertson book/dvd collection! (So happy my job has an education-budget that I control ;)

[@themomenthom]

[@JeanMoore]

OMG, this is great! I'm off to pre-order the book right now. Can't wait for it to come out. Thank you so much!

[@mojolefeuvre]

I can't wait to check out your book. I've found you exploration tip most useful.

[@WillieTaggett]

Man, Scott, it hurts my heart how easy you make this look

[@bkcttv9578]

Great work Scott, well presented and amazing work as always.

[@TheTISEOMan]

y'know. I was expecting him to carefully measure. Not just crap out perfect work as a 'sketch'

[@Pr3DaToR15]

Great techniques,and clean explanations.

[@CoyotePark]

Very cool little planes. Thanks!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yes, forward swept wings are fine as long as the airfoil cross section of the wing is correct.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

How to Draw. Just type that and my name in Amazon and you'll find it.

[@hyperdominic5148]

can you make a tutorial vid for dealing with the perspective of each angle? bc dis video helped me alot so yea.... its okay if u cant

[@PrestonKupish]

Thank you so much! This is fantastic.

[@alienw99]

I love your work and effort you put in these videos.... and I just bought your book Lift Off :)

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Correct. Draw, Render, then Design.

[@dougieladd]

I love watching these... I bought your gnomon DVD (perspective drawing) years ago and learned a lot from it. So much so that I ended up teaching a class of adults 3 years later in a micro teach session. What is it about perspective drawing?? It's addictive :)

[@marcfranklin1427]

It's because perspective is of tea higher dimension

[@SogonD.Zunatsu]

I'm very curious as to why you don't use pencils for the underdrawing.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Zebra Jimnie Light. No longer made but this is a good refill - BR-6A-H-BK.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Thanks! I think there are only a couple of hundred of those left before they go out of print.

[@aristano]

Great stuff

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yes, all of our books are on Amazon.

[@gracecaldwell4489]

I like his style

[@MrTonyMeijer]

Certainly, its very stylish :)

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Those are the exact books we are working hard to finish.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yes, but for just a sketch/toy it's fun!

[@thisisitisntit]

Sweet! Thanks!

[@MrTonyMeijer]

The US military played with that a lot during the 1970-1980, but it was considered to be to instabile. Search for 'forward swept wing' on wikipedia to get the history of it :)

[@datomatax]

thank you very much, btw really great videos

[@Warndog9]

I really liked your deisgn. Would love to see you polish it off

[@Storyraymond]

Hi. Thank for all your effort on sharing. Its very inspiring and helpful. I was wondering if you use these techniques in this video when sketching/drawing in photoshop. I find construction of spaceships, cars, etc very time-consuming when I draw in this way in photoshop. it takes a lot of time making construction lines, ellipses with minor axes and mirroring my shape over to the other side of my construction. But on paper its very quick and easy to use rulers and ellipses. Im working on speeding up my workflow and was wondering if you have some tips on this?

[@kkadz]

A camera fixed to a rotating tray would be kinda cool for drawing videos. Thank you very much for the video.

[@JuliusHiiden]

great video. I am still learning perspective stuff and your video is very helpful. Do you imagine the view point of a plane before drawing those perspective grids? In other word, is the perspective grid telling whether you are looking from the top or bottom?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Thanks. I usually start with some perspective grid guidelines to help establish the view, correct.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yes.

[@chelsea021095]

Scott, could you please do a video on creating environments using your abstract marker technique? I'd love to see how you get those cool effects using Copic markers and vellum, since I can't seem to find the technique anywhere else.

[@Giedris95]

Hi there was wondering if you could make a video on all the different tools you use to draw am asking cuz I only ever drawn in pencil and would like to get in to other medium

maestro!!!!!

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Not a pencil. It is a ballpoint pen by Zebra called Jimnie Light.

[@GREENPAND4]

My summer job is going to pay for all of your books (the ones that i don't already have)

[@nomad8723]

I really appreciate when artists know the objects they are drawing. I'm tired of hearing "flap thingy" and "bullet clip."

[@scottrobertsondesign]

David, I use COPIC markers.

[@Aeraleach]

can you put a link in the description where to buy the books it would be easier to find :) nice video

[@skullpizzacomics]

Wow, such line control with that ballpoint pen! How the heck do you manage that?

[@Maholot]

Thanks much

[@charlie91638]

i've been having these books in my wish list on amazon for a long time lol....How to Design: Concept design process, styling, inspiration, and methodology....How to Draw: drawing and sketching objects and environments from your imagination...How to Render: communicating form and rendering a wide range of materials..or these books have any thing to do with the book your talking about in your vids?

[@Halasaar]

Mr. Robertson, Very cool videos I have one question do you use velum paper or any old type paper? Will

[@kingdarko]

Excellent video as always, will your book be available world wide ?

[@fish250jiang]

Hi Scott. I am a student currently at a design school in Vancouver. I am studying both industrial design and illustration. I have some questions--do I have to show my traditional drawing in my portfolio if I want to get into a industrial design company? I do most of my drawing digitally; however, my classmates in design department usually draw with traditional media. So do industrial design business prefer traditional drawing (markers and pens) ? Thanks, your video are great

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Ok.

[@charlie91638]

looking forward to the books release date can you give use a release date? it's a buy for all the books for me.

[@MrDogfaced]

Hey Scott, how are you releasing these books; are you doing draw, then render then design or just all at once? Mainly asking because i want draw asap :) Thanks.

[@Rocker742]

How much do you anticipate your book will cost?

[@become3d-xyz]

[@hobojoe2031]

[@CRAFTE.D]

[@Hexzer3]

Hi mr. Robertson, what type of pencil did you use for this sketch? thanks for anwser.

[@zivshanmugam]

Hi, Could you please tell me what type of ball point pen you are using in this video??

[@datomatax]

Hey, can you please tell what is that marker that you use throughout your videos?

[@Lydomina]
