Great tutorials, we only got the most basic of teaching regarding perspective skills or marker use where I was taught, as it was felt that as so much was done on computers it was not necessary! NOT the case! Really enjoying your videos as they are helping me make much more realistic concepts and giving me some well needed confidence, thanks! :) :)
thanks bro , your tutorials helped me alot and i have an exam to pass next week those tutorials will help me alot thanks again :D hope i can see more videos from you soon :D
Hi there, great videos, thank you. Can you tell me what colour copic markers I should get (say 8 colours) for a basic set for Interior design course? Thanks, Sara
Sara Clarke Hi Sarah, a few colours that will cover most of your needs (not that I did interior design so I wont give specific numbers for all colors) Cool grey 2, a brown like I used for the main colour for this cube, a pale yellow (for walls) a rich red for pops of colour and leather couches. a light blue (quite light) for glass a light (brownish lime green for indoor greenery) warm grey 3 and a cool grey 5-6 for darker shadows and steel appliances. I'm not an authority on this but have a look at some really good interior design renders and look at their colors you may want an ivory colour. The key I feel is to get colours that aren't too bright otherwise is like a good render with the contrast turn right up so look at the colours and choose more pale washed out colors as you can get a few shades out of each marker. Good luck.
Sonja Capasso I use a rubber in a plastic tube they are in standard stationary shops. www.gordonharris.co.nz/staedtler-eraser-holder-refill-carded-p-67475.html will give you an idea
Hi, I wanted to ask something about the highlights. You drew three white lines, one horizontal line towards right, one horizontal to left and one vertical. My question is since the shadow is at the left side of the cube, should the left horizontal highlight be there? Isn't it dark there? Thanks
Your right in that regard, it was an attempt to show some general light but I really should have angled he shadow backwards to the left more. I needed to do a few more goes at constructing a shadow as I tend to wing it most of the time. I only had a small window of time to put the video together and just went with the constructed shadow. The Joy of a shadow in this setting is I could cut the cube out and redo the shadow.
Ayman Rehman It's is a mechanical pencil with a wide 2 mm lead www.gordonharris.co.nz/staedtler-noris-clutch-pencil-p-63827.html will give you a better idea.
+/Dream Car Garage 1 (DCG1) In that video I'm pretty sure I am using standard photocopy paper but I would use www.gordonharris.co.nz/zeta-layout-sheet-p-60750.html as my top shelf paper or www.gordonharris.co.nz/bank-layout-50gsm-sheet-p-60640.html as my standard paper. The standard stuff is a little on the thin side but great for tracing, just avoid using water color paper as it soaks up the ink from the markers really quick and bleeds everywhere. When looking for paper just est it by drawing a line in pencil and then drawing a line in marker against it and if it bleeds more than 2mm I would try something else (just don't draw with the markers really slow).
+elcaminante500 same here being in New Zealand the markers have gone through a few companies before you buy and have been marked up each time. I when to Amazon and bought a large pack which brought the average cost of the markers down.
