    Hello, engineer and artist here! This is extremely accurate and we'll illustrated. I want to add by saying that as a tip. Remember that large machinery is soldered more than screwed. Military vehicles don't tend to have cables loose and finally if you would like to add a bit of realism to your work. Remember to draw engraved symbols in your joints, this has a reason. When we built a manipulator (a robotic extremity) we often indicate which motors and braces are Wich by putting nobs and numbers into them. Sometimes we engrave some of that technical info on the robots to make employees at factories understand them better. Finally remember that vents are used in the hottest places for machinery, mainly the chasis and directly on some motors. You don't always need to add extra big vente in long parts of an arm. But always do so on the motors and torso. Have a good one.

    The problem I always run into when drawing mechs. is how much should I think of the function of the parts and how much should just be designed to look interesting.

    • @Trazynn
      @Trazynn 5 років тому +26

      That entirely depends on how grounded your setting is. There's some rule of thumbs that people generally like mech to be 2/3rds plate and 1/3rd mechanical greeblies. Cartoonish mechs can have all kinds of nonsense packing underneath the hood while grounded mechs should at least have some recognisable working joins. One thing that really helps is searching 'mech joints' on pinterest (i hate pinterest btw), the results are huge. Anyway, just start copying those form multiple angles and after you've filled a couple of pages with them your brain start simprovising mechanical connections by itself.

      I am a 3d modeler and I asked a great artist on artstation for advice about filling in blanks from concepts and basically just design questions, he recommended that I check out Visual Design Basics - Intro to Design by Alex Senecha on gumroad. "Best 20 bucks you'll ever spend" and he's right, a lot of basic ideas that might sound like common sense are thoroughly explained and he gives a ton of examples, some are over the top but a lot really helps to understand the concept and ground the concept in your memory.

      I used to make mechs 3d models for fun and never used to rig them,once someone asked me for one of it and it was impossible for it to get rigged cause it was so impractical and non functional, my mechs could never actually run cause there legs barely moved after that I got more into functionality and practical use

    Excellent video! I tried and failed to skip basic primitive shape drawing and design my own mecha many times, and I particularly struggled with cut lines.
    Aside from that, hearing about the 70:30 rule helps me understand why many soldier designs in modern gaming rub me the wrong way!

    • @me-ry9ee
      @me-ry9ee 5 років тому +20

      first watch videos about lineweight, read books and stuff

      @SubNorm4L 5 років тому +10

      Is not Rocket Science. Line weight on overlaps, focal points, ambient oclussion, etc. It needs to be your artistic vision and what do you want to represent with the line weight changes. Some do heavier lineweight in shadow, others do the whole contour with heavy lineweight. You need to develop your sense of design to really make great lineweight.

    • @ithinklikeawesome
      @ithinklikeawesome 5 років тому +8

      Possibly the simplest way of looking at it just
      1)Understand the form
      2)see where the light is supposed to be coming from
      3) make thicker lines for darker areas and thinner for lighter areas

  • @EmiHnH

    you are amazing at drawing things without a reference for perspective, but I wanted to ask you how you manage to mantain symmetry on symmetrical parts like arms and legs.
    In 8:29 you made some robot legs on the far right figure, but if you look in detail (I repeat, IN DETAIL) you see those are not aligned or symmetrical, both regarding lenghts and angles.
    Thank you!

    @caiosurian 5 років тому +6

    Hi, i really loved your video, subscribed. But, a thing i would like to see more in mecha and robot in fiction in general is the power source from the movement of the hinge. You know, when they make the joint, some times, it can make the movement they want but dont have the space or the conection with a power source like a servo motor or pneumatic/hidraulic piston. Beyond the movement you want your hinge to do there must be the thing that makes it moves the way you want. A motor normally would have some gear reduction in robots, there this too. I'm sorry to do this nittpicking, i love this topic so much as a mechanical engeneer student. Keep the good work.

    there are some mechs that comes to my mind when i was looking at your video. i was thinking about the robots you can see in the franchise "metal gear". these had a pretty geometric and military like design at the beginning. But in the recent versions, they are mostly organic (like the beauty and beast members or even jack).
    drawing something mechanical and also estetical is maybe more difficule than drawing organic.
    For example, last year, i had a workshop with my classmate where we have to make a spaceship in the design of the "Dune" movie and inspired by an animal. I personally take an insecte called a "fourmilion" and i was trying to make his legs retracatble. But it is very complicatec because if i wanted that, i have to make the body bigger enough to make them going inside. the result wasn't that bad at the end, but it was a nightmare.

    My biggest problem with designing mecha is just how much detail I WANT to put in. I crave making something as intricate as the models for the Transformers movies (the only good parts about them) or the Iron Man suits (especially during the suiting-up sequences). But that (a) seems to violate that 70/30 rule and (b) takes SO much creative juice to keep coming up with more details AND make the details look like they have some function, even if what isn't clear.

    as an engineer i am thinking over those forms, that we use, and sometimes it is too complex to understand what shape should be, to see the purpose behind them, except just to look cool:) , because real robots will look as functional as possible, with nothing but cases over those:)
    for example, if we want to have a rotating element, what engine should there be, should we have any hydraulics, what's the balance point, how thick should the joint be ?:)

    okay i get that this is just a.. visual tutorial. but have you ever put any thought into how these things work? like, whats forcing the hinge joint to, you know, actuate. and if its on a leg, whats keeping it from just dangling uselessly as soon as the leg lifts off the ground? thats just one simple example when i could apply the same basic logic to any single one of these. do you have any videos on how these components interact with each-other, or how they would likely function?

      I have :D You can go down a rabbit whole of electrical/mechanical parts, hydraulics, and physics if you have some spare time it's super interesting. You reach a point where it's not helpful at all to the drawing portion of things but still a worthwhile read!

    As a mechanic now studying engineering I'd say you nailed the shape language, though your saddle joint confused me for a bit (drawing didn't realy make sense to me at first?).

    Excellent video!
    Could I ask a personal question?
    More like a suggestion on a topic to make a video! It's about sketching/placing details. I mean the general shape is ok, but you do plan on details as well no? I mean there are just so many of them!
    And I am sure artists do plan them at least to some degree. I been browsing on Pinterest for ideas on biomechanical Exo armors, and realized, that based on details you might have to basically create a whole style just for a project. I would love to put in some pictures, so it's more understandable what I am meaning. Anyway.
    Could you please shed some light on the topic?
