This will be a 1/3 video series in which we’ll start the journey of drawing simplified 3D shapes. My goal is to work us up to being able to draw figures with relative accuracy, using basic shapes. Key takeaways: 1. A cube is the most basic structure, BUT it’s deceptively complex too. It forces you to KNOW the orientation of each side, while drawing them all with equal sizes & distances (as it’s a CUBE, not just a box). I’m still learning new things every day. 2. Another big challenge is measuring angles and objects in space, especially those moving away from us. Due to the rules of perspective - these appear shorter. 3. Developing intuition is a major way for figuring this out. Sketch, then test yourself and correct mistakes. Rinse and repeat. That way you’ll slowly squash away your misconceptions and preconceptions, and learn to see reality in a more accurate manner. I hope this is useful - keep practicing! 😁 Time-Stamps: 00:00 - Introduction 00:42 - Cube Overview & Unique Challenges 04:25 - Real-life Cube 09:20 - Field of Vision & Fish-Eye Effect 14:28 - The Cube Inside a Scene 20:03 - Assessing Angles & Distances in Space 28:56 - More on How to Improve 31:48 - Conclusion 🎨 MATERIALS I OFTEN USE 🎨 Paints (all Daniel Smith) Phthalo Blue (Red Shade) - https://amzn.to/2FCuEvA Ultramarine Blue - https://amzn.to/2FCvicu Nickel Azo Yellow - https://amzn.to/2HW5Ik3 Perylene Red - https://amzn.to/2HUc1Ve Quinacridone Rose Brushes Tracy Lebenzon Brushes http://www.lebenzon-paintbrushes.com/ Escoda Travel Sets: https://www.escoda.com/sets-de-viaje.html Silver Black Velvet - https://amzn.to/2JCnSJZ Raphael - https://amzn.to/2Wo71wb (multiple sizes and sellers) Princeton - https://amzn.to/2YoSHpa Paper Saunders Waterford / Arches, 300gsm, cold-press - https://amzn.to/2WrdTZU Palette Mijello Airtight 18 Wells - https://amzn.to/2IbhSoa Plein-Air Easel The BEST I've found so far for watercolor - https://amzn.to/2Ljyc6Q White Pen Uniball Signo White Gel Pen (easy to find on ebay!) *** MUSIC CREDITS *** Music by Joakim Karud http://youtube.com/joakimkarud Music by @joakimkarudmusic * Please note this disclosure - Many of the links to Amazon (and possibly other websites in the future) are affiliate links.
