I came across this just as I decided to practice drawing from imagination today—perfect timing, lol. I can copy from a photo, but I struggle to draw without a reference. This video was really inspiring! Not sure whether this is a good approach, but I looked up some spaceship photos, studied the key elements, and then tried to memorize the structures. Then I pieced together different elements to experiment a bit without reference at all. The result isn’t great because of my limited art skills, but it was a really interesting experience!

lol! Probably going to run out of time before I get 20 years in, but, at least I know I’ll have something to work on for the rest of my life! That aside, this was a great lesson to watch, and does inspire me to keep at it without becoming discouraged. Always need to keep in mind that comparison is the thief of joy. Ars longa, vita brevis.

Goals! Key take aways: practice - a lot; observe your subject matter; you must walk and stumble before you can run; simplify; details are icing on the cake; study your principles of perspective first. Inspiring to watch Peter.

me enjoying these videos because they are packed full of information VS me wanting just clear homework because these videos are too packed with information VS me not having time for either because of the holiday season and private matters That was my attempt at being funny, thanks for the video as always

Amazing. I learned a ton. - also about steam engines. It is absolutely inspiring. Thanks Peter and Marshall for sharing this incredebly insightfull lesson.

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.

Amazing. We need a Peter Han class on Proko
