aahaa…some post bargin u doing there buddy…YO that was pure inspirational…i loved the whole 5 min series you have started, and of course as many have mentioned the pastel touch was very cool…my suggestion for the next series would be some sort of a handtool, something simple…i have not done a project on them at all and dont know how much time it would take to do one…but i have seen some very good design iterations on those…whatever you come up with …u have me waiting on the edge of my seat.
Really like the Video’s, great way to share some techniques. How about for the next one uping the complexity slightly. showing maye a couple views/ or how something works, or is used. Maybe assembling a page layout and a couple notes. Thanks again for the video’s
… though I can’t sketch with any other pencil than a prismacolor.
How comes? Every tutorial I ever come across seems to recommend Prismacolor. Yet when I go to the art shop, ask them about Prismacolor, they never seem to have any and then go on to say how they’re just the same as what they do have.
I’m guessing they’re just harder to find in the UK, but was just wondering how different they really are?
I’m not sure how they compare to what is available in the UK, but the prisma color is pretty soft, so you can get a lot of values and thicknesses out of it. A lot of designers here also like Verithins, which has a much harder lead… I can’t seem to sketch with them though…
I really liked the demo, but as a newbie, it would be nice to hear your thoughts regarding what types of pens you are using, different techniques you are using… Why are some lines extended beyond the borders when others are carefully delineated at the edges? Just design flair?
You might need a time machine to 1992… it came from a Burger King Happy meal my kid brother got… and I promptly stole Rocko like a good big brother, and he has been with me ever since!
There are a lot of sketching demos that go more into depth on these things (check out some Gnomon DVD’s). For me, I usually extend the broader, more general strokes as I define the overall form. These tend to come from the shoulder and elbow. It helps me get the perspective, though I’m not perfect, the top line of the screen in the last sketch is pretty off, but I didn’t have time to correct it in the 5 minute time frame. The details tend to be much more deliberate, so I’m working with smaller strokes.
I’m using prisma markers and pencils, and a gel rollerball.
thanks for uploadings those videos it really helps to know how other designers draw, speacially for me becuase i hated drawing when i get on school and only started to like it now that im graduated.
