Sketchbook: Symmetry

Symmetry · Oct 2012

Hi. I am fairly good at hard surface modelling. But i am not good at the concepting phase. So i figured i will start learning how to draw.
I will mostly draw hard surface stuff like vehicles because thats my favorite interest.
I will start drawing simple forms like cubes and build my way up to more advanced stuff!
Here we go!

Did a couple of pages of this exercise. Multiplying boxes. 3x2. Its very hard to draw straight lines and connect it. Need to continue to do the exercise and figure out how to do it with mroe precisness

3rd Shade attempt on a house shape

Nice start and shading with mouse, couldn't do that myself. I'm too addicted to the tablet XD. Studying the basic shapes and values with pen and paper might help too. Figure drawing really helped me with learning to look the correct proportions. Keep up the good work!

Anyway here is more practice:

Id like to suggest getting some paper/Pencil/Pen/Ruler and go out and draw some vehicles in perspective.

Good job so far

really good to see that you start with the basics. awesome!

GrevSev: I definitly will go out and do that, it sounds like alot of fun, maybe even go to a military museum or something:)
Will try some of the assignments aswell, thanks!

SimonT: Hopefully it pays off;)

My number 1 priority is to draw alot cleaner, one stroke one try!""
For example this first one turned out abit better then the second, but not good enough!

I looks like you're really making progress, the shapes get more advanced by the day!

Do you draw all of them in digital media?
