Scoro Sunday Sketching 4

These Sunday sketching sessions are meant to be informal thoughts on whatever I think might help out from the comments I get and what I see online in the work that people post. This one was definitely a bit rambling, hope some of you can still find some helpful nuggets buried within. Stay safe!

[@Littleme347]

Great tutorial! no speed painting, no pushy stuff, all purely fundamental knowledge, really helpful! thank you so much!

[@raynilssen6466]

Old school designer getting back to basics. Excellent input. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Hi Scott! Great to have you back! Thank you SO much for this post. I've been trying to invent some fantasy/SciFi vehicles, and struggling. Watching this video - and the thinking process underlying the drawing process - made a HUGE difference when I sat back down - it was a whole different ball game. This is so much better than focusing on the ornamental aspects, and getting caught up in 'piling on the fiddly bits' - which never comes out looking very convincing anyway. I found that if I considered the proportions first, then the shape and placement of the major elements, working from the general to the specific, everything flowed much more smoothly, and I was much more satisfied with the results. I looked up side views of a bunch of vintage roadsters and just started with the wheel base, then evaluating the major shapes and angles and how they related to one another, and so on. By the time I got to the fiddly bits, I only had to figure out a couple to bring it all together. That helped a LOT. Next thing you know, I am off and running, making cool looking (and fairly convincing) drawings of imaginary vehicles, and having FUN. If it looks cool before you add the fiddly bits, you're good to go. If it doesn't, all the fiddly bits in the world won't help. Thanks! Mikey

I'm glad that you're posting videos frequently after a long hiatus. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is great information that I never actually thought about, but makes intuitive sense. Thanx for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks Scott. Always helpful.

Mr Robertson, just caught these Sunday videos by chance, always great to watch your process, (long time fan of your work) please keep them coming :)

Thanks Scott !.. For sure, this video is helpfull !.. 👍🏼 ❤ 🕊

[@saem901901]

Scott we need a how to design book from you. How to draw was fantastic!

[@sarojpaudyal7374]

we need that

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Thanks, I will get back to work on it someday.

you prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I would love any help you can offer me!

[@leolouie9549]

@Ethan Maximus I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jaredteiger6140]

Hey Scott, thank you so much for these videos. As a high school student these and past videos of yours help so much, not only understanding design and drawing, but inspires me countless times to continue with my work. I hope you understand how big of an influence people like you have, you and many others really help jump start my creativity and my drive as an aspiring artist. As for future videos, what's your take on reference, talking about reference, the importance or advantages of having it, as I am learning, reference is huge when trying to help design or create elements within an original artwork? Can't wait to see what is in store for the future. Cheers!

[@ha_anzu]

omg it was amazing thanks. it was just like you are telling me "hey stop thinking about details and fix that proportion". i really wish i could be your student.

[@nomadenview]

Thanks sir.... Stay safe....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnoswald9143]

Would love to see you sketch 3/4 flat perspective sci-fi truck, car, just to see it in practice. Thank you as always for the videos.

[@_numanair_]

that triangle at 12:14 was quite impactful

[@tddavis]

Scott do you think you could do some more stuff on environment sketching? I feel like I struggle with keeping consistent scale when drawing back in space. Having a hard time balancing between thinking about composition while thinking about perspective. I want my stuff to have more depth.

[@saem901901]

tddavis hey, I’ve had the same problem, try overlapping the objects in your environments in front of each other. It helps achieve the a sense of space. For scale try to use other objects as reference and relate everything to the horizon line. Hope that helps man.

[@atilab99draws58]

also as the objects get closer use thicker lines and as they go away maybe even lose some lines....at the top of my mind is Moebius, check him out if you haven't already

I see lots of thumbs up on this comment, I may try for this subject next Sunday.

The pen is not very special.

Love your videos how about drawing in more extreme perspectives. Specifically complex shapes like cars

[@mattcolorz]

What's the pen you're using? The lines it draws are really nice! Also you're really easy to follow and listen to! thanks for the content!

Nothing special.

[@renderfuture6152]

nice

[@ashishborgaonkar3943]

How much of eraser do you use when you think you need changes in your drawing?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

I only erase when using a graphite pencil. Otherwise I work with pens and markers that are permanent and they force you to think before you commit to your mark on the page.

[@ashishborgaonkar3943]

Any tips on getting to that stage of being sure to commit before drawing?

[@MathBlue]

How do you decide upon the width in top view based on your side view? Any tips? If anyone else knows you can answer too :)

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Easiest way is to sketch the top view and then get the basic idea of the width versus the length. Once you know the ratios you can use ellipses or cubes in perspective to estimate the proper proportions. When drawing a car I usually use three wheels for the width. Do you already have my How to Draw book? There are a lot of video tutorials as part of that book that cover this idea of blocking out a proportional box in perspective.

[@MathBlue]

@@scottrobertsondesign but in top view you already have the lenght and width...lets say i can visualize the side view of a helicopter...i draw the side view....what now? How do i know the appropiate width for the helicopter? Or a coffe maker side view versus the width of the coffe maker? Just estimate the proportion and hope it turns out good in perspective? I have the book btw couldnt find this answer in it. Thanks

[@MathBlue]

@@scottrobertsondesign could you give me a resource for this subject? Have you got a dvd / book talking about packaging a car or helicopter by first drawing elevation views(top view side view) first of them and then putting them into perspective? I would definitly Buy It RIGHT NOW!! Thank you alot

[@scottrobertsondesign]

@@MathBlue You need to use a cube or ellipse in perspective to measure the foreshortened width of the object. I just looked, pages 166-173 should help you.
