Based on your comments of the last video it seemed like mechs and design insights were the most requested, here's my attempt to start fulfilling those requests. Have a safe, productive week all. Thanks for watching.

Glad to see you still posting Scott!

[@DennisCNolasco]

Yup, 2 videos recently :)

[@loteknomad5032]

Cannot overstate how much I appreciate these design discussions and demonstrations. Especially the insight you give into the thought process and logic behind some of your decisions.

[@Angels-3xist]

One of the most basically appealing juxtapositions is the mechanical with the natural. It can be anything organic. Think like a big destructive animal like a mammoth that carries around a plant in glass bubble or something that people think is heartless, but you can see through its chest or how about one of those fish where you can see inside its head but instead of there being an organic inside it’s mechanical. I dunno, I think everybody likes that area Horizon Zero Dawn for example.

I can't believe I've been drawing for years and hadn't heard of your channel and your books

[@whosKai720]

love these classes. I can really learn a lot from looking at the mechs on the paper and from you explaining how each part and line come together.

[@jasondugger81]

What a wonderful surprise!! Thanks Mr Robertson

[@christidutoit]

You’re an inspiration, Scott - never stop doing what you do!

[@mavho139]

God should give human a counter to count how many practices that should be done before delivering a nice curve. :) deep gratitude for the live sketching which makes me more connected with your books. thanks again.

[@Kishire100]

Thank you so much Scott, it's really appreciated. Love seeing this sort of work/content as it's really under represented nowadays!

[@johnoswald9143]

It’s a good day. Scott Robertson uploaded a video. If you haven’t yet got Scott’s how to draw book, you should get it. Next is his how to render for my collection. Must have books.

[@overkill113]

Was just watching a bunch of your old videos then this popped up. 👀 your artwork is amazing, your books are too.

[@tonyleonard2955]

Always a pleasure to see you sketching again, Sir! Good show!

[@CamyolaCola]

Wow!!! I think I'm getting a natural high from watching this😀☺! Best pen inking line work demonstration by far.

[@mikebinkowski4615]

Thanks for the content, I have learned more from your books than any other resources I have had.

[@avtpro]

You've been a great inspiration to me from way back in the early gnomon DVDs. I had an older snow tractor with tank tracks from your work posted on my wall for many years. I guess the tape got weak and I put it in a box. I found it in my DVD box yesterday in my bed room where I sometimes draw. These designs are awesome. I like the more organic feel.

[@samankucher5117]

Thay look amazing..... almost good has your advice . I love how you explain what you do when you draw I hope you will post more 🍀

[@Digitalgaming]

[@emojia9279]

Good videos, and Good drawing books also. 👍

[@sagarsridhar3410]

Thank you so much ! This is more than insightful

[@Makelek0]

Learned a lot while sketching along, this format is really nice with the insights you give. I'd be happy to sit along every Sunday with whatever you feel like doing just for the breakdowns alone. I hope you are doing alright, much love.

[@ARTofTY-TV]

Your awareness of tangents is over 9000!

[@55bnb]

I think it would be fun to see you draw like a space station or something crazy!!! Good to see a new upload to KZbin from you thanks

[@unknonmann]

amazing 👌

[@ryangunn9769]

Hey Scott, I have always admired your work and I own your 'how to draw' book. I'd love to see you do a 'fresh mech' take on the old 80's cartoon 'Dino Riders'. Imo, the way you blend mechanical / natural and the drama of these prehistoric creatures brought back to life in some kind of futuristic setting could be very popular. You are inspiring for an aging tryer like me! Cheers

[@AndyHerzig]

Thank you so much for the real-time video! I can pick up a lot more vs videos that have been sped up.

[@paulonopa]

You are always good.

[@RobertOw83]

MECHS!!! W00t. Thank you Scott!

[@marianoviedo]

¡Excelente!

[@shimonking1986]

Yay you listened!

[@bryanbball006]

hey man i'm a real fan of your work and books. id like to be able to one day work my way up to designing and rendering images and concepts in order to create my own stories. watching your work inspires me to try to think out of the box. is there a way you can do some free hand drawing with some of your mechs in a perspective atmopshere? for instance a mech in destroyed city landscape with like ships in a cloudy sky or like a free hand sketch of how you would go about setting that up in a thumbnail kind of manner?

[@RizeTB1]

I get nervous when you point at your sketches with a pen. They are so awesome. I’m thinking “ahh! Careful! You’re gonna mess ‘em up.” 😬

[@davekearns1081]

Have you tried the Jetstream Edge? It's a ballpoint with a very fine refill. Wondered how it might stack up to the Hi Tec.

[@RiccardoConturbia]

First one!!!

[@va9351]

Interesting, but were you got your ideas. what makes your hand move that way. Where do these ideas come from?

[@danielv85]

Third one :)

[@jreffjeff7909]

I got to go to bed so I can't watch the whole vid, how do u know where to put seem lines and vents/screws not sure what the holes are there

How many robots do i need to draw to makes me able to draw a robot from my imagination?

[@after5years841]

Also u need to understand the logic behind it You can't just put sticks under a cube and think it will look ,can stand by its own , convincing Read force drawing books and animation concepts

[@comedyplace7847]

@@after5years841 Ok i will thanks

[@lostvisitor]

It was not engineered by humans. None of the car makers like to reuse any ideas, or make things consistent. Just a thought to make it more realistic to what humans do.

34k views 🥹 we could have had an entire series of professionally produced videos from the most important illustration instructor the world has ever known but he isn't teaching Instagram anime girls so the world didn't care. How very disappointing you are, humans...
