    Copying old masters' drawing 1:1 might be helpful for exploration of techniques, but I believe, if you do it on daily basis for years, all you will become is a well-skilled craftsman, but not an artist with unique style. Imagine if e.g. Van Gogh went to a traditional school of art instead of being self-thought artist, all he would become is a product of his masters' teaching. His own interpretation of reality would be (at least partially) killed. Look at the reality around you, interpret in your own style and develop it.

    I'd like to give another tip: do not take a photo; use a mirror instead-it's way better. The lens of the camera does not capture what you see absolutely and does not even improve understanding of the form itself. Actually, I like to use two types of mirrors: a white mirror and a black mirror. The second one is pretty easy to make-just take a piece of glass and paint one side with black paint, which is great for agrouping the values. I use them for self-portraits and to study hands, arms, feet, and so on, just by placing the light in front of you to start making some drawings.

    I always worry for people who get on the roof too. No idea of how much weight a vans roof can take from stock condition. And while you have clearly added wood to the whole thing I personally don't trust it too much. Do people who add various roof zafari styled mods add tons of extra support on the inside or is it pretty much just good to go? Really curious as i wanna do the same oneday.

    • @gigacardoso
      @gigacardoso Місяць тому

      yeah I don't know specific values and I wouldn't jump on top of it with feet together. Event tho it could probably handle it. I tried to either walk on top of the support beams inside (not the wood, the actual metal support beans that support the roof and the walls of the van) or spread out my weight. Those beams can definitely handle a lot and if its spread out then the same can be said.

  • @88Spint
    @88Spint Місяць тому

    I never understood the massive draw people have to make a skylight in the roof. Why not make vent on the side of the roof instead so you can fit more solar panels or storage/roof deck space. If you want light you can just get it from windows instead and the same for airflow.

    • @gigacardoso
      @gigacardoso Місяць тому

      Not entirely sure I understand what the side of the roof means. Like on the roof still, but not in the middle? Anywho, I put mine in the location because there it wouldn't interfere with the cabinet placement inside the van. Other than that I wanted it to have someway to exhaust the steam when I'm cooking in the van, even with the window.

    • @88Spint
      @88Spint Місяць тому

      @@gigacardoso Yes, I did mean to have the vent as more of a slit out of the way on the side of the roof rather then a full skylight in the middle :) Would make tons more roofspace for solar or packing. But I'm just "venting" for the lack of veriety amongst vanlife vans ;). There is also the more practical location for a cooking fan, over the stove... rather then in the roof where all the steam goes all over the cabinets, walls and roof. Frying anything would be a nightmare to clean. Bet most vans are sticky with grease because of it. Not to mention the smell. Even prebuilt new and pretty vans dont come with a cooking fan and istead rely on skylight or windows. Så strange. But it's just my opinion. Such a small detail that in reality probably only matters to those who live longterm in their vans anyway, and you can always just get used to it. Thanls for a good video :)
