Brilliant! This whole video series of tutorials is a fantastic progression from the most basic orthogonal, Cartesian shapes to fully organic ones. The way you approach the subject to show that the fundamental principles of product sketching (and drawing more generally) rely on decomposition and interpolation is great because it is technical and precise! Well taught and well done!
Thank you very much I really appreciate your kind words! Im always afraid that I don't convey the main things correctly so I'm very happy to hear such positive feedback!
This stuff is invaluable for anyone who’s looking to learn how to draw and distort forms or structures. Thank you for this knowledge. I hope to apply this in anatomy.
many thanks for starting to open my mind to the fundamentals behind what we see and I am trying to draw. Especially the ellipse and cylinder method with taper opened up a whole new perspective on things just as organic shapes. I guess this is how you also create trees and other asymmetrical forms. It’s time to go back to the school desk on this one 😎👍🏻
Thanks Robert. I am personally not into art but my daughter is and she is struggling with the different structural concepts. So in order to teach I have to first understand these concepts and then deliver these concepts in a way she can understand and replicate. I been trying to drill the box method but she’s been having difficulty understanding with The Who 2 d 3d perspective. This is the perfect lesson to get her to visualize and start drawing fruits. She’s gonna love it. I think this will be the video that bring home the concept o drawing with rectangles and boxes. Thank you sooooo much. Drawing makes her happy. Have a beautiful day.
I'm very happy to read this. I make these videos to help people but it is extra nice to read that you are trying to teach you daughter with this. You made my day sir :)
this is absolutely AMAZING! Have have watched so many, and i mean A LOT of videos on this subject... and nothing compares to his videos! I have now learned NEVER to judge a video based off of likes!
Wow thank you. I was learning basic fundamental of drawing, it does opened my eyes about what is going on in the picture. But to be honest i getting overwhelmed by it. A lot of stuff appear at once, and I'm just starting to know it but still far far away from mastering those fundamental. Your video really help me, I'll strat with drawing all vegetable with good perspective, cross contour, and also good center line. Once again, thank you
Great video and extremely helpful ! I think paprika is the product of grinding down a bell pepper/capsicum (and other peppers). If you were drawing paprika, you’d be drawing powder.
Hello great video seeing the drawing process of professional artists are a big help. I was wondering if there is a method for training your eye to see everyday objects in simple forms because when you were drawing that paprika you drew a cylinder and then divided it into 3 more I would like to do exactly that.
Thank you. Well, I don't know if there is a method, what I do is I just try to find the simplest shapes I can reduce something to. An apple would be a sphere, a water boiler would be cylinders and cones, A broccoli would be cylinders for the stems and spheres for the big part, the human body is a mix of cylinders spheres and some cubes. So just find whatever basic shape works best for you.
Holy shit. This is exactly the way I figured one had to do this yesterday while experimenting. I ought to start using pencil because on paper this gets messy very, very fast. 06:38 what if the spheroid had a bump/spike on it- how would one construct it? you'd have to construct it with the bump in mind from the very beginning instead of trying to add it onto the sphere, right? since I imagine there's no easy way to add something to the surface of a sphere. Can this technique be applied to landscape drawing?
Hey Robert! Great video! Big fan of your work. I suppose you've heard the name of "Draw a Box" challenge. I've recently started doing it with pen and paper to develop my fundamentals. However, I am curious to know, if I should also start doing it digitally in Sketchbook Pro alongside the traditional medium. Do you suggest it?
Hey, man thanks a lot! Nah I would say stick with what is more comfortable and fun. If you get good traditionally that translates to digital as well. Also if one day you feel like doing in Sketchbook just go for it. Main thing is you get in the exercise, build up the muscle memory, get better, and have fun!
That is it :) Everything can be broken down to easy to understand shapes like that, and from there on you can detail and complicate the shapes again. But once you can simplify you'll find it's much easier to draw things.
It’s amazing how technical you can get with something so artistic
Well I can't really get artistic with it sadly XD
@@robertlkiss how did you close the line at 8:28
Literally the most helpful drawing tip I've seen in a while.
Happy to hear you found it useful ^_^
i mean its one of the fundamentals

That's really cool, never really thought about complex 3D forms like this. Thanks for the lesson!👍
Glad you found it interesting!
You are such a helper, your videos are so inspiring and instructive. Now I can make those complex shapes that used to scare me...many thanks
Happy to hear you find my videos useful!

Just take it one step at a time. Stick with the simple shapes once you are comfortable with those you can move on to more complex geometries.
Watching it through for the 2nd time. This is a great learning tool. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Finally I learn this from here thank you ❤️
Thank you very much for your time and effort!
My pleasure! And thanks for checking it out :)
you explain this so well!!! thank you
Happy to see that you find it useful!
You're the best sir!
Thank you!
i watching all your vids and i learn too many things when i watching it
(keep going
Thank you very much that is very kind of you to say :)
thank Robert for explain organic shape
Another great breakdown. This is really wonderful stuff brother, thanks
Much appreciated, glad you like it!
very very helpful, thanks 🐰

Thank you very much. Yeah, my bad around here we call the vegetable itself paprika, I forgot that in English it's a bell pepper.
This videos are great, really helps to improve!
Glad to hear it!
Good work! Keep going on you stuff!
Thank you very much!
All your videos are really helpful. You are awesommee ^_^

Good!!. keep going you are amazing artist ^_^
Thank you very much!
Sir how to use them in any other objects like cars, human, animals, buildings
Holy shit. This is exactly the way I figured one had to do this yesterday while experimenting.

06:38 what if the spheroid had a bump/spike on it- how would one construct it?
you'd have to construct it with the bump in mind from the very beginning instead of trying to add it onto the sphere, right? since I imagine there's no easy way to add something to the surface of a sphere.
Can this technique be applied to landscape drawing?
II would basically construct the arches I used for the spheroid but then in a much smaller size.
Robert, do you know books that explain in-depth how to construct organic shapes, volumes? Thank you!
No I don't really know of any books sorry.
@@robertlkiss Thank you.
what am impressive skill to identify those simple 3d shapes to create organics
It's easier in the long run if you know how to simplify things, after all every complex structure is based on a simple foundation.
is that autodesk sketchbook free version or premium?
It's the free version.
thnks a lot !
Glad you liked it!
Hi, can you recommend video/book to learn how to sketch for beginners plz
Check out my industrial design fundamentals videos, those should help
@@robertlkiss can you suggest an order to watch the videos, don't know where to start
@@bengbeng2005 I would start with industrial design fundamentals 1
@@robertlkiss ok thanks
Thank you ! very usefull

niceeee

Still learning to you sir.
So a paprika is basically three cylinders combined with three hemisphere on top....
That is it :) Everything can be broken down to easy to understand shapes like that, and from there on you can detail and complicate the shapes again. But once you can simplify you'll find it's much easier to draw things.
This one made me hungry.
Please do not eat the screen XD
you and i have like the exact same taste in books.
