      No no no you've got it all wrong. If you're doing it right youre imagining people NOT burning to death. You're basically got the highest stakes metaphorical job of all time. Get it right or everyone dies.

    This is a very unique drawing theory video. I've never seen anyone talk about organic vs inorganic shapes. The closest I can think of is "the flow" of the shape theory, but it's not the same. Also, the fact that drawing should be intuitive is very inspiring and eye-opening to me. Thank you for this tutorial, Sinix! Very informative.

    Sinix you are an absolutely amazing teacher. This video has helped me a lot to articulate ideas I was already having for a while but not able to turn into words. The part where you speak of intuition was really eye opening as well, and it feels great to be empowered by the knowledge that my brain HAS VALUE and brings something to the table. In other words, art isn't only about learning and grinding, but to express something which we already all have inside of us.

  • @dreadlordentertainment5533
    @dreadlordentertainment5533 4 роки тому +2

    Your design style is definitely one of the more unique I've seen. I think subconsciously all artists begin to recognize the stark contrast between mechanical angles, and smoother more "organic" shapes. We just happen to label them more simply as "natural" vs "unnatural" but find it harder to actually define what we really mean. They all have their use, however, sometimes as a beginner artist myself I find it too easy to skew toward one single method in lieu of others. Always good to remember there is no one correct way to accomplish a work of art.

    Very nice and thought provoking video! Thank you! One question came up in my mind: How do you decide on which flow you want? If you take your roboter at 11:05 the flow points the eye into the ground. Should the flow not direct the view to the most important point - the focal point of the thing you're doing?
    How do you decide on your flow direction?

Becker is actually wack in his approach to clickbaiting - implicitly or explicitly - people into looking down on or avoiding your work, and listening to shit-tier advice.
