    It's easy to forget the essentials of design sketching. Oftentimes we want to skip the basics when we are learning something new and jump straight into the advanced stuff.
    In this video, you will learn of 3 important sketching exercises that I think is useful for any type of designer or illustrator.
    One thing to keep in mind when learning new things is that you do have to implement what you learn. Sometimes it can feel like we've made progress by simply watching a video or reading a book. It makes us feel like we got one step closer to our goal when in fact nothing changed.
    In order to get better, you have to implement and take action. Make a lot of mistakes as you learn so you know what not to do next time.
    I hope this video is useful to you!

    The video starts at 5:19
    before that he says that you should do yourself a favour and follow along, grab any paper scrap or anything and any pen or pencil.

      @naderemad4686 2 года назад +1

      That is life, biggest problems always require the most simple solution. The more simple the more efficient and optimal. We just like to overestimate and compilcate things as humans because of our emotions that can sometimes take over our thoughts and actions.

    Elipses 8:40

  • @Ralphhy
    @Ralphhy 4 года назад +1

    Something that he didn’t talk about but did from experience is keeping the bounce light intact. If you look at the ellipse right after the outline at the bottom there is a slight mid tone & highlight, because of the way natural light bounces off the floor.

  • @4evabonjovi
    @4evabonjovi 6 лет назад

    Good thing I suck at using markers... is there a way to make a soft edge (like a soft fall-off) if the material isn't reflective? If I use printer paper everything just looks like patchwork.

    @JMTom-ig1lj 7 лет назад +8

    I also sketch using ballpoint pens (BiC Crystal grip or a classic BiC Medium) on regular printing paper, but i noticed that using my Promarkers over the lines will make them blurry and dull. Anyone else?

    • @nikelrocker
      @nikelrocker 6 лет назад

      yep, that's because the paper fills with the marker alcohol ink, and the Bic's ink are alcohol-based too, so both blend together and the results are messy xD
      Personally i prefer sketch basic shapes with pencil, and take 2 ways: 1. put color with markers on it and "close" the draw with pen or tracers. 2. "close" the draw with tracers, put color on it and make some gradient details with pens ONLY when I'm totally sure that the marker ink dryed.

    • @B1N4RYGH0ST
      @B1N4RYGH0ST 6 лет назад

      I love sketching with Bic four colour pens. They brought out another version of their old Black, Red, Green and Blue. I think it would be great if they extended their colour range. Peace.
