    Also I love your work. I am a show painter I airbrush mainly large work on carnival rides scenery. Semi trailers etc.
    I love wall murals. I’ve done quite a few. Never knew about doodle grid method. But makes total sense to me. Thank you for that. You never know it all.

    Grid system is my go to, especially since I love math. (My love for algebra surely came in handy for this). I also do the plus signs, instead of full squares.
    I want to (and will) master the doodle and freehand methods though with more practice! 😊

    • @iamdetour

      That's awesome! The doodle grid is the perfect method if you plan to do a lot more murals. it helps soooooooo much!

    Great vid, I might have two suggestions:
    1. If you want to go freehand on a large scale: swap your cans for a large paint-stick and roller. I've also witnessed fellow artists use a paint-gun as a sketch-tool for the first layer.
    2. Check the surface for marks/repeating patterns: many surfaces have either tiles, bricks or even floorbeams that'll be visible between each floor. Those make perfect 'natural' marks.
    Ran production on a series of 8 murals of 12/14 stories high. At those sizes you simply can't grid everything, for it'll take way too much time. Most I've worked with use a system like the second one.

    Thanks so much for all of the helpful tips, they are truly priceless! Any suggestions for painting a curved surface such as a fuel tank? I did a small one recently and ended up having to freehand the whole thing which took forever. Just wondering if there’s an easier solution.

    • @iamdetour
      @iamdetour  2 года назад +3

      No problem. im always glad to share. i think a grid should work because the grid on your reference is like an unwrapped tank. the projection and doodle grid methods wont account for the curvature of the tank

    I am surprised that we don’t have the technology available yet to use AR glasses do assist with this. I’m thinking something like Da Vinci Eye AR combined with AR glasses, so wherever you look with those glasses on, the image is projected. Even cooler would be if you could turn layers on and off with a quick tap. If something like that is available now or in the works I would love to hear about it. BTW, keep up the great work!

    • @iamdetour
      @iamdetour  Год назад +1

      I think that the AR out there at the moment isn’t that consistent enough for scaling up artwork on the scale and keeping that information over the course of days or weeks while painting the wall. I think once that happens, it will become another resource for scaling up work.

    Projector you can section your image pretty easily.
    If you measure your wall, and make your image 1 pixel / mm, you can project it in sections by measuring where on the wall your light can reach, then selecting that area of your reference image, and using perspective to pinch the edges to your projectors visible working space.

    • @jrellis3044
      @jrellis3044 Год назад

      Also works if you can fit the whole wall in your projection, you perspective and pinch the edges of your reference image to fit the edges of your working surface. No distortion. Works on an angle if you can’t get the distance to beam it all in one.

      @@iamdetour Makes sense as it provides more clarity for the image. I'd be curious to hear your take on a side by side example of a gridded scale and your method. Likely it's subjective, but the more organic method you've developed could lead to more accuracy.

    When using the grid method, say I have a 8 x10 or 8x11 reference I'm trying to draw and put on a 30x40 canvas I cant for the life of me figure out the dimensions 🫣 its embarrassing cause I use to be a math wiz as a kid and teenager but i'm 30 and losing my intelligence in that area lol. least when trying to draw. BTW your art is tremendously good, thanks for these tips...I am hoping to use this doodle method when I start my room mural
