Jason Cox We're working on it. It was a You Tube mobile linking crash and so we have moved all the app linked videos to a new server. The app updates should be done very soon with the new links. The links from the URL on page 206 will remain the same and are currently working fine.
I love seeing these, finished designs are nice but this stuff right here, the sketches are just pure gold. Thank you Scott for taking your time to do these videos for us and thank you to the designers who show off their work.
my heart sinks all the way to the bottom of the ocean when i see art like this.. it kills me to compare my sketchbook to this. not even close to the level of detail and neatness. mother of lambs..
martin rhames alright but what is shown on this channel doesn't necessarily mean it is how everyone should do it however I do grant that it is one path towards success. It's fine to have high detailed work in a sketch book but I believe the priority of its purpose is to let loose and explore.
madman3891 sketchbooks are more about ideas and convey your concepts and its all about your thinking and interpretation of observing the real world. Some people see it as messy , or dont. Dont be hard on yourself
I had no idea I would be randomly finding videos on the artists that worked on Hawken, I loved that game and I was fascinated with the mechs and world. cool.
dunno if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother during the lockdown =)
Amazing books man! One way I've found to keep spirals from falling apart is to stitch the seam with fishing line where the spiral teeth meet up. They're pretty bomb proof after that.
Great sketchbook! Good to know that people still work with traditional mediums, I thought concept art had completely gone digital but just like you guys I love drawing with pencils and biros!
Thats the love of scott, thats why I Love his work, a lot of people I met these days do everything digitally and dont know how to paint traditionally and I hate using that slippery Wacom sometimes :) Pencils awesome.
A great looking series of drawings... I really appreciate the quality of the work done with the brush pen at the end of the video, very bold confident marks. Feeling inspired, I think I'm gonna go draw now. Thanks for the inspiration!
My teachers always asked me why I draw so small. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels safe sketching small. I just don't know what to when I try to sketch large...
wow those sketchs and designs are just beautiful! very inspirational and the things you touched base on with design was very helpful they're things artist may know but forget to keep in mind while draw and designing.
Love how this is just artists talking about the technical aspects of sketching. Only artists doing the same kind of work know what the other was going through at that time and how they did that one drawing or the other. Need to get that water brush pen.
Great video, Scott! Since this review features mostly line work, I wonder if you've tried the (poorly-named) application, Manga Studio 5? It has some truly wonderful drawing tools that far out-perform any in Photoshop (IMO). And, since version 5, MS has shown itself to be a solid painting program, as well. And at $50 for the base program, it's a helluva deal. (The more expensive EX version differs mostly for the addition of page management features for those artists working up full comics or graphic novels.)
been waiting for an upload from ya mr.scott! Lovin this sketchbook series Edit: WUOH kekai kotaki. Looked him up and he does guild wars 2 concept arts! :D, I play the game, it's my favorite at the moment :D. Also i've played hawken too, pretty cool game.
Scott, I just can't see those shapes to make a mech look like a mech. I've been following your "how to draw" book and some videos, like Darren Quach, but I can't draw mechs at all. Perhaps it's because I haven't drawn enough cars and what not, but aside from that, been hitting quite a large wall with mechs and cyborgs and such...
+Nikesh Jaggan Try drawing a variety of heavy equipment like cranes, backhoes, dozers etc. from observation. This will give you the anatomy that's probably missing.
Hello mr Robertson, you and mr Park are really good illustrators! What kind of art style is this, what is it called? Also what does "foundation" mean? thanks!
Love this videos, full of excellent material, by the way, i don't know if it's on the same ballpark as you guys but have you checked Kim Jung Gi's work? i believe Kim's technique is different but the end result is nothing short of amazing.
Scott, really great line-up of talent in the past few weeks, great sketchbook reviews! -Keep'em coming! I was curious, is there a part 2 yet to drop? You mentioned having some upload ills..
hello , i dont know how to satrt that style, ,can u give an advise about perpecive?.. of how begin to drawing,..but ..making the perspective descition of the character,, i can drawing somethin like that but, the realism come from the perspective to, and that wath im very limitd and my drawing donst looks well.
Hello Scott! I am not sure if you respond regularly to youtube comments. I have a question for you if you have to time to answer. I have been drawing almost everyday (give or take a few weeks or so) for the past 2 years. And I have seen fantastic results. I started attending school at CGMA and have made it pretty far through their foundation program. You talked about being able to "foresee" what you are going to draw. And I feel like I still can't do that. Every drawing I start is always a developed one. As in, I will just start putting pen to paper, and whatever becomes of it, I just go with it. What can I do to get to this point where I am able to foresee the drawings, like you are saying. Or at least how to have a better idea going into it. When I look at the paper, its hard for me to develop things onto it without just putting ink down first. I feel like my brain is so close to getting there, almost like striking a lighter, and it not fully igniting. What can I do to get it going? I have definitely hit a hole in my progress, I feel like I've been stuck in progression for about a month now. Thank you in advance! Totally understand if you end up not answering!
Hey Scott, has John published any of these sketches shown in these videos? (not the photoshop stuff).. I just picked up Darren Quach's sketchbook and found this video via your Pinterest boards. Terrific video, thank you!
Is there a list, or something I could be directed too, about foundations? I'd like to really work on them, but places I've looked it all seems to differ.
Cool stuff, may I ask how you arranged the lighting for the video taping of this sketchbook? Did you set a spot light straight down on it? Or just natural ceiling lights? Or ... thank you. Great video btw. :)
Hey Scott, I am trying to replicate the technique used by John Park with the water brush and hi-tech C pen. I'm looking for a red one and what I'm finding is much more saturated then the lines John has in his sketchbook. Have I not found the correct pen? Or has he used a black pen on top of his sketches?
Hello, I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me about the drawing at 20:00 of the guy in red drawn 3 times with the hat, I am very fascinated by the style of the drawing and the figure, character and costume that is worn by him and if someone would be able to tell me what kind of person he is or character it would relate to that I can search and look into so that I can draw people like that, thank you very much love the art very much but that one in particular is very interesting and to my taste
Man i wish i had your courage to continue drawing people on the street even if they look back at you , bcz me , when they discover what i was doing , i just look down in book and stay there until they are gone . LOOOL
Montezuma Xocoyotzin Lol I have the same fear but I have also found that most people are very supportive if I ask them first. I say "Hi, I'm an art student, would it be okay with you if I drew a sketch of you?" They have all been flattered except this one totally mean woman who got upset. But then who wants to draw mean people anyway.
Wow, always love seeing sketchbooks. Thanks for posting Scott. I've always "doodled," but never had any training to draw. I've always felt the pull to draw, but I have always analyzed my way out of it before even putting pencil to paper. Can anyone recommend videos for an absolute beginner, that you can step through exercises with? Thank you
That's a tough order. But you should check out Sycra and Proko, both here on RUclips. They might have some videos that could benefit you. If I find anything I'll let you know.
Scott, Can you expand on what you mean about "silhouettes" at 3:46. What part of the drawing is the silhouette? Why does sketching small enable you to see them easier? Thanks!
+S.S Moore 1. a two-dimensional representation of the outline of an object, as a cutout or configurational drawing, uniformly filled in with black. 2. the outline or general shape of something: the slim silhouette of a skyscraper. 3. a dark image outlined against a lighter background.
Thanks Scott Robertson. I really enjoy your videos - there is so much to learn here. I'm also looking forward to reading How To Draw, it just arrived in the mail, in the near future. Keep up the good work! S
Sorry for the delay posting this. I've been trying since Friday. Lots of technical difficulties since then. Glad it finally worked! Enjoy.
i bought your book and it looks great
but the app doesn't work any idea how to fix it
TheTitaime Same problem here. Just use the link list from the book with the password in the book. I'm sure they'll be updating the app.
Jason Cox We're working on it. It was a You Tube mobile linking crash and so we have moved all the app linked videos to a new server. The app updates should be done very soon with the new links. The links from the URL on page 206 will remain the same and are currently working fine.
Scott Robertson ok thanks for the replay. the book is great by the way love it.
Scott Robertson Hi, I was wondering what type of sketch pad Park and the other artists are using. Thanks.
I love seeing these, finished designs are nice but this stuff right here, the sketches are just pure gold. Thank you Scott for taking your time to do these videos for us and thank you to the designers who show off their work.
John Park and Darren Quach have fantastic sketchbooks, would love to see more of them, and can't wait for part 2!
my heart sinks all the way to the bottom of the ocean when i see art like this.. it kills me to compare my sketchbook to this. not even close to the level of detail and neatness. mother of lambs..
sketchbooks aren't meant to be neat or have a high level of detail. They're meant to go nuts and explore yourself without holding back.
yeah but what you say goes against this, and many other sketchbooks represented on this channel.
martin rhames alright but what is shown on this channel doesn't necessarily mean it is how everyone should do it however I do grant that it is one path towards success. It's fine to have high detailed work in a sketch book but I believe the priority of its purpose is to let loose and explore.
madman3891 sketchbooks are more about ideas and convey your concepts and its all about your thinking and interpretation of observing the real world. Some people see it as messy , or dont. Dont be hard on yourself
Peter Parker
i suppose. its just easy to get discouraged when seeing pro sketchbooks.
My gosh I love that guys sketches ....thank you for sharing !!
Now this is how a sketchbook review video should be! Perfect! I wish there were more videos like this
Awesome!
Should be awesome being a student of Scott Robertson also one ofJohn.
Awesome wart awesome masters.
thanks for this video Mr. Scott :D
awesome, thanks for take a little of your time to show us this good art.
I had no idea I would be randomly finding videos on the artists that worked on Hawken,
I loved that game and I was fascinated with the mechs and world.
cool.
Fantastic! John is one of the nicest guys and is an incredible illustrator and designer. Can't wait for part 2!
I Love the Nerding out of the drawing tips and fundamentals in this video. I wish i were able to be a part of this discussion as it happened.
love all these, great artists an ace to see what goes on in their minds on paper :)
im loving these sketch series! the sketch is the most fun part of drawing
Great sketch books. Thanks a lot to John Park for sharing them and Scott for posting this video.
I'm looking forward to part 2.
You're killing it with these features. So much information in the back and forth. The variety in features is incredibly invaluable
Never thought my favourite artist was your student. Mad respect man.
Amazing stuff, thank John for sharing his work and the stories. I really like the scope of discussion. Top notch Scott.
**sees John Park sketching you**
John Park: "What?! Yeah I'm drawing you! Got a problem bruh!? Huh?!"
dunno if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother during the lockdown =)
@Ryland Ira Definitely, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
@Ryland Ira Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :D
^ bots 😐
Amazing books man! One way I've found to keep spirals from falling apart is to stitch the seam with fishing line where the spiral teeth meet up. They're pretty bomb proof after that.
Well this was probably my favorite showcase
i cant really believe that these are from 2014....its very amazing 😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
Great sketchbook! Good to know that people still work with traditional mediums, I thought concept art had completely gone digital but just like you guys I love drawing with pencils and biros!
Thats the love of scott, thats why I Love his work, a lot of people I met these days do everything digitally and dont know how to paint traditionally and I hate using that slippery Wacom sometimes :) Pencils awesome.

JP an amazing artist
Gods, I'd love to get my hands on some of those sketchbooks
My teachers always asked me why I draw so small. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels safe sketching small. I just don't know what to when I try to sketch large...
i sketch small as well
Sick sketches! Congratulations on these wonderful drawings!
Awesome ..!! I knew it that you two must have some kind of connection :)
This is what I want to end up drawing in the future
looking forward to episode 2 :) videos like this one never fail to motivate me
Really enjoying this.
These are gorgeus!
Really cool stuff and awesome designs!
Thank you both for sharing. so inspiring
loving your videos scott really an inspiration
Interesting FTF this week....Love those "roast chicken crossbows" - nice work. :)

8:02 lol
wow those sketchs and designs are just beautiful! very inspirational and the things you touched base on with design was very helpful they're things artist may know but forget to keep in mind while draw and designing.
wow he made concept art for Hawken! i just downloaded that yesterday
Awesome, so inspirational
awesomeness in action...
I love Your Way to Draw.Great
Love how this is just artists talking about the technical aspects of sketching. Only artists doing the same kind of work know what the other was going through at that time and how they did that one drawing or the other. Need to get that water brush pen.
I love this
Awesome!
Learned a lot from this video, thank you!
"exactly!"
Such a cool sketch book
Yep... Absolutely... Right...
WOW ! Che Progetti ! Bellissimi ! Da Film !
really inspirational
sketching small takes far more time than larger! Especially when working in pen or marker
Hi Scott and John!
Very enriching video. Those sketches are awesome! They've motivated me to make drawings! XD
Thanks for the post!
Have a good one!
that was fricking awesome
Masterfully rendered sketches. Screw photoshop!
exactly awesome !
thanks you so much for doing these so inspiring.
Too Osum, Thanks Scott and John.
Thank you so much for sharing this,
It es amazing !! very inspiring :D
Thank you, cheers :D
Very inspiring!!
Awesome stuff!
so good
Does Design Studio Press or anyone else produce a sketchbook of John's work? I'd buy it in an instant.
wow jpark and scott ..that's too much ! :D
Very Cool stuff,with super detail linework.But i wonder how he can draw so small...
Bom muito bom, meu objetivo e desenhar a figura humana assim...
Great video, Scott! Since this review features mostly line work, I wonder if you've tried the (poorly-named) application, Manga Studio 5?

Also i've played hawken too, pretty cool game.
fascinating
you sound like jeff watts, at first i taught it was him lol, btw nice video, i love the sketches
Scott, I just can't see those shapes to make a mech look like a mech. I've been following your "how to draw" book and some videos, like Darren Quach, but I can't draw mechs at all.

+Scott Robertson Thanks Scott, hope the advice helps. The only thing i can draw decently is people.
Hello mr Robertson, you and mr Park are really good illustrators! What kind of art style is this, what is it called? Also what does "foundation" mean? thanks!
Where do you get ideas for drawing robotic type things? And where did you learn to draw all the wires and gears from?
What is the name of the artist you mentioned at the end?
Love this videos, full of excellent material, by the way, i don't know if it's on the same ballpark as you guys but have you checked Kim Jung Gi's work? i believe Kim's technique is different but the end result is nothing short of amazing.
Looks like sketches of titanfall.
hawken is similar
where can i find the sketchbook? by the way you do amazing sketches want to get back into it just need to use my imaginations more
That crocodile is ridiculous!
Nice!
Scott, really great line-up of talent in the past few weeks, great sketchbook reviews! -Keep'em coming! I was curious, is there a part 2 yet to drop? You mentioned having some upload ills..
Tony, part 2 will go live this Friday.
Oh, sweet! I look forward to it!
hello , i dont know how to satrt that style, ,can u give an advise about perpecive?.. of how begin to drawing,..but ..making the perspective descition of the character,, i can drawing somethin like that but, the realism come from the perspective to, and that wath im very limitd and my drawing donst looks well.
I'm a small sketcher too! I'm trying to draw full pages now, it's hard man.
Wow! Now I am really curious about part 2!
Is Moebius a big thing in the States? I rarely hear a lot of people talk about him.
thanks

Big light shining from top of frame into the shot. Camera positioned on a C stand with lens pointing perpendicular to the table.
Thanks. :)
Impressive
if I will go to study same techniqes ,what should I search for? I dont know the name of those!
Hey Scott, I am trying to replicate the technique used by John Park with the water brush and hi-tech C pen. I'm looking for a red one and what I'm finding is much more saturated then the lines John has in his sketchbook. Have I not found the correct pen? Or has he used a black pen on top of his sketches?
Not sure. His were pretty red. Maybe the saturation of the video is a bit low?
Alright, thank you Scott. I was going to make my order tomorrow, now I can make it with more confidence. Appreciate it.
the moment you said hawkn i spazzed
Hello, I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me about the drawing at 20:00 of the guy in red drawn 3 times with the hat, I am very fascinated by the style of the drawing and the figure, character and costume that is worn by him and if someone would be able to tell me what kind of person he is or character it would relate to that I can search and look into so that I can draw people like that, thank you very much love the art very much but that one in particular is very interesting and to my taste

Rick Hess No problem. I also found this video... I haven't watched it all the way through, but it might help. /watch?v=ck4NuQWZ-kk
D Excellent, thanks D.
How would you describe this style of drawing? I like these a lot, and this is what I would want to draw. I like the mechanical-ness of it.
HillDweller We usually call these thumbnails or concept sketches or even ideation.
Scott,
Can you expand on what you mean about "silhouettes" at 3:46. What part of the drawing is the silhouette? Why does sketching small enable you to see them easier?
