When we draw from imagination without reference, it's important to plan and visualize our subject. In this lesson, Peter Han gives us a demo showing us how to use our hands to map out where elements will go on the page, considering placement and scale. He starts with simple shapes and landmarks, building the structure, then layering details. He explains how muscle memory and observation helps him draw confidently across different subjects and how knowing how long a drawing takes allows him to manage his time.

Here, I applied the same approach to a different complex object: a Formula 1 car. I began by researching older models to better understand their design. Using orthogonal views, I studied the car’s proportions, using the wheel as my measuring unit. I then explored a 3D model on Sketchfab, rotating and analyzing it to deepen my understanding of its form. For the final sketch, I started with preliminary pencil lines and refined them with ink pens.
I still notice some errors that aren’t quite right, but this study was a lot of fun to work on, and I’m happy with the final result.

Consider me inspired AND extremely intimidated. (Definitely not intimated by the speed at which he drew that train 👀)

"This is not meant to intimidate but to inspire".... I feel strangely threatened.... granted an image of a train barreling towards us has been programed into our subconscious as threatening and is typically not meant with warm and fuzzy feelings... maybe you should of drawn something like a Volkswagen Beetle... or better yet a Matchbox Volkswagen Beetle. No one's been intimidated by one of those.
All joking aside thanks for posting the video I do enjoy watching people work, especially ones that are not sped up so we can see what is happening.
