And finally, the last dynamic sketching lesson has been updated - this week, Drawing Vehicles. This one isn't that different from last week's Everyday Objects, but with the increase in scale of the objects in question, proportion becomes a much more significant concern. This video focuses on a breakdown of drawing a specific tan...

While doing research for the last two exercises I've updated (6 and 7), I've delved a bit more into technical perspective, and ways to take advantage of certain tricks and techniques without having to explicitly rely upon vanishing points. This is an extension of the video I posted last week about drawing perfect circles in 3D s...

This is something that's confused me immensely for quite a while, and I've seen that a lot of people have felt the same way. Since I don't deal with plotted perspective much, I've mostly just ignored it but it has had some negative impacts on my work in the past. So, here's the results of some research I've done into the subject...

The majority of the things we deal with on a regular basis tend to be quite geometric, and can usually be simplified into boxes and cylinders. As such, it's often most effective to consider these objects as merely being arrangements of those forms, and to completely ignore the object itself. In this 30 minute video, I go over th...

Another flood of videos, this time updating lesson 6 (drawing everyday objects). Primarily focused on the use of geometric primitives (mostly boxes and cylinders), and how to leverage them to produce the majority of hard surface objects we use on a daily basis.
This one in particular is unique among this lesson's demos - I foc...

A 50 minute video tackling a variety of challenges that students struggle with - constructing heads, dealing with fur, connecting legs to torsos, etc.

Back to updating the dynamic sketching lessons, this time lesson 5. Along with three new demo recordings, you've also got a 50 minute video tackling many of the challenges students seem to struggle with.

I did this demo for a student last night, figured it'd be worth sharing. I absolutely LOATHE drawing airplanes, but this didn't turn out quite as badly as I'd expected.

This weekend I've gone and updated the content for lesson 4. As I did with lesson 3 last week, I added 3 new demos with recordings, plus a 40 minute intro video to cover basic concepts regarding how construction applies to this subject matter.
Unfortunately I won't be able to do the same for lesson 5 for a few weeks, as I'll b...

So along with gradually redoing the demos (starting this weekend with Lesson 3) and rerecording the patreon-only videos, I'm also creating an intro video for each lesson, which will be available to everyone. I'll cover concepts that people tend to miss, or things that just need to be emphasized more, based on what I've seen whil...

I'm slowly going through the lessons, updating the various demos so they better reflect how the material has evolved over the past year or so, and with that comes new patreon-only video demos. These are going to be sped up about 3x, and as with before, notes and step-by-steps will be available on the lesson page.

My original notes on the rotated boxes exercise were a bit lacking (and the demos had some glaring perspective mistakes in them that were a bit embarrassing) so I set aside some time today to redo them in greater detail.
This is a demo I did way back when I started /r/ArtFundamentals. I was drawing an interior environment design for my portfolio (was getting ready to apply to studios for a job) and I recorded the process just in case it went well. Turns out it went well enough, and while this demo is quite old, it's still got a lot of valuable i...

For those of you who struggle with texture, know that it's not something that comes quickly. Learning to render different materials is a multistep process, and it's important that you not jump too far ahead before...
