Sunday Sketching: Wheeled Vehicle Grids

[@SDKsa1]

Scott the GOAT! Teaching methodical perspective since the early 2000s. I wouldn't be where I'm today without your guidance and books. Thank you :)

[@EckosamaGhostTsushima]

Still amazing, love the realistic proportions in the freehands. So expertly done. And I learned alot in this one video

[@olibianchini2472]

That was fantastic Scott, thank you so much. Im going through your book at the moment, I've learned so much, but Im a bit confused about 3 point perspective. How do you know where the 3rd point should be in relation to the other two? How do you track the movement of the vps as you tilt the camera down? Thanks again, I'm a big fan.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yeah, that's tricky. I will try to address in a future video.

[@firebird11692]

you need to get in touch with Elon and fix the cybertruck

[@acintron3Dmfg]

What a powerful legend you are Scott!!! You have changed the course for so many people into a better world of sketching, thanks for constantly sharing.

[@rfeistauer]

Amazing! Very useful! I am still reading the book, it's been two years now; a bit hard to understand, but an amazing book. This video helped me a lot on this chapter. Thank you!

[@aumtheaum3827]

Does this way of drawing work for everything? Or just vehicles?

[@williamcoke2308]

You could be doing some Trigonometry, of you really want to find the angle, regardless if you use that template or not, that's what a Mechanical Technician would do, even an Engineer... I heard another Draftsman confuse, a tangent with a ray... Just saying...

[@masslona]

Apart from the technicality and accuracy in the perspective construction and the helpful video as always... What remains incredible to me is the amount of different ideas and concepts in 2 pages 😱another level..

[@natenajor9834]

So, if you measure the degree from the vanishing point and use a guide to match the degree, is that the same process?

[@colbyrawiri]

Been trying to comprehend these things for years; your book, Videos, and gunroads are priceless. Thank you Scott! You are the man.

[@ha_anzu]

omg it was an essential video to the book. i just figured out the use of view angle !!! thank you so muchhhh

[@comedyplace7847]

Am almost getting my whole education from your books and videos Thank you so much for everything

[@ValanceJ]

Studying from your book as well, and it's really so helpful seeing you work through and explain the steps in realtime.

[@alonsovelarde8587]

Which book are these tutorials on?

[@ratstattoos]

Hello. Did you start drawing the wheel inside the 60 grads cone of vision?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

For these types of sketches I often sketch with a wider angle camera lens effect which pushes outside the 60 degree COV for dramatic, more dynamic impact at the expense of increasing perspective distortion.

[@procrast]

SCORO5 - the perspective ninja!! can't thank you enough, Scott for showing us all those 'secrets' and being an amazing teacher! one doubt tho: the elipse you drew @13:10, it's minor axis did not align with the line going back to the vp, I noticed in the guide it was a little lower, so that the line going to the vp did not divide the elipse in 2 equal halfs, right? why did you do that?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

I did that because the template did not have the size I wanted if I lined it up on the minor axis line I drew. So I just shifted it lower and loosely eyeballed the template minor axis lining up to the VP. Pretty sloppy, I may need to revisit that example/demo in the future. These Sunday recordings are pretty raw and I/you get what we get.

[@procrast]

@@scottrobertsondesign oh I see, I love these loose videos, no apologies needed! thank you so much for the explanation 👊🙏

[@shitheadjohnson2797]

Scott is good at lambo's.

[@johnoswald9143]

Awesome, this is absolutely perfect, on point as always. Thank you Scott. Almost got to see a flat perspective set up. One point is the most difficult to do for sure. Can't wait for more.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Maybe soon.

[@briantriesart]

Thank you!!!!! Long time without watching a mind blowing tutorial.

[@sabrinacabraldossantos8747]

🤩👍Técnicas incríveis Estou gostando muito de aprender pra evoluir mais

[@manuelchiacchiaretta6851]

Mr Robertson wich ellipses template?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Whatever you can find. Alvin, Pickett, C-Thru are a few brands to look for.

[@g43654]

Hi Scott, what makes a good designer? Also, what makes a good design? Is a good designer someone who makes designs that their clients like, and therefore, it constitutes a good design? In other words, if clients pays for it, then it's a good design?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Depends. Might be a good subject for a future video. This answer has lots of variables.

[@g43654]

@@scottrobertsondesign Thanks Scott. I know my question is very convoluted, but I'm curious about the designer- client dynamic. Clients come to you for a solution that doesn't exist and you are expected to give them a great design. But because they pay for it, they must have the final decision, even if it's a terrible one? I'm torn because I find the design industry... strange. When a customer needs a hammer, they just buy one from the store. But when a client needs an idea or a solution, what they get is unpredictable, especially if they don't even know what they want... Therefore, what defines a successful designer? Someone who is good at convincing the client that their design is good, or someone who is great at following/predicting a client's needs?

[@sachinmv6191]

Thank you Scott for teaching us such useful methods of perspective drawing.

[@paulcarlone2980]

Absolute gold. Thank you. I look forward to continuing to learn. These videos are so incredibly helpful.

[@patbird9694]

Love your detailed books how to draw and how to render. Very nicely put together with video links when using your iphone or ipad.

[@tonyexos461]

scott love your work! thanks for this guided lesson on perspective. this was a great video for me!

[@Lopkkpa]

It would be awesome if you can make more videos on how to create the other perspective guide shown in the video. Thank for the video!

[@gregoryoruko]

Helped me understand vanishing point so much.

[@mnieman8140]

Picking the right ellipse is still a challenge for me. It was great to get those verification tips. Thank you!

[@rickysantana2136]

ujuuuuu uno de mis canales favoritos por siempre no importa si hay muchos o pocos números lo importante siempre es la calidad y el disfrute que conlleva el proceso en este deleite, shell yeah!

[@AnimeNinjaz]

its nice to see you still posting scott, when i first started id watch all your tutorials reguarly, ive not done vehicle designs for a long time now though but still love to see your knowlege aplied and explained in these vids.

[@guerhanbelen4883]

Master at work. I like everything what you draw!

[@IanThompson007]

Thanks for this Scott! Could I suggest a tutorial (related to the above) about how using the ellipse guide in Sketchbook Pro can be used as an alternative to physical ellipse guides?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Sure. Another great program for that is Infinite Painter. Ellipses auto-snap to the perspective grids.

[@pathikbiswasvisualart]

Learn perspective form your book.

[@easterneuropeantracksuit3312]

Set the wheels first?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Yes, that's where I usually start.

[@NPC_YouTube]

as always incredibly insightful!

[@jaynj908]

This answered a ton of questions for me . Thanx

[@niros9667]

You are a true inspiration Scott, thanks for sharing.

[@Markus-_-]

Sensei Scott you're my inspiration..I'll never forget the day you released your book. I know words are not enough to express my feelings, but I just wanna say thank you for everything, coz you've changed the way I think and my entire approach, you're the reason why I stopped doing portrait drawings..I'm still studying and learning everyday, and thank you for answering my questions even in my old comments from my old YT acct, Wishing you all the best and good health. Thank you sensei. Love from 🇵🇭

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Thank you!

[@qine6559]

I saw a person on forum for aphantasia recommending your videos to artists with aphantasia , because your explanations are friendly to people without minds eye. Thank you for breaking down technically also your creative process in so many vids. And I wonder. You make things make sense. Do you know artists with aphantasia or otherwise know that some people do not have mind's eye? (Typo and making question clearer)

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Have not heard of this before, but happy the demos and explanations are helping. Thanks for sharing these insights.

[@-kurow-7113]

It's funny to see how you manage to put perspective in your side views. Usually when I try it looks a bit wonky.

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Trust it, it's reality.

[@elaprendiz923]

Your work is amaizing

[@omnymisa]

Hi Scott, I don't draw vehicles too often but i find the most difficult part is to get the size of the wheels right in proportion to the rest of the car construction, how should i handle that?

[@scottrobertsondesign]

Know the proportions in side view first using the wheels as measuring devices, then rotate the view into perspective using the wheels. Try to scale everything to the wheels.

[@ehsanmf]

amazing tutorial...

[@dannyfreitag3071]

Thank's for the free content.👍

[@SebasDesign]

Hello Scott, where can I find a set of ellipse guides for various degrees? Can you recommend a specific store or website? Love your work!

[@g43654]

These guides, templates, or rulers are very hard to find these days. Just look for Ellipse guides on Google, usual brands are Alvin, Pickett or Rapid Design. Be warned though: they are horrendously expensive and they still stink to high heaven! My wife says they smell like poop lol. She wrongly blamed the cat every time I used them. Or you could search Ebay for old sets. They are called "vintage" now. Failing that, you could try going digital.

[@Ghostlicht]

I bought some from Jackson's which is a UK based store, but I believe they ship worldwide (unless pandemic reasons stop them these days). Take a look at theirs :)

[@scottrobertsondesign]

I still use my Pickett set from 31 years ago. And yes they still stink. Alvin makes/sells them as well.

[@gp5019]

Thank you Scott!!

[@jesusjosecastillovilchez5778]

So good explanations!

[@CRAFTE.D]

How can you know the lip lines are right if said vp is off the page?

Educated guessing.
