@@KaliTakumi I think what he means is that when you sketch with a pencil sometimes it can get really messy ( especially with me ) and then you lose details in the messiness and the drawing becomes less clear also when you go to pen it in it can become awkward.
I always think mechs are the ultimate tool to see an artists ability . It combines everything a good artist needs imagination, perspective, form and anatomy
I say art is more subjective than imagination, perspective, form, and anatomy. They're great skills for something like graphical design but art is so much more than concept and figure drawings.
@@Yumenoki99 i don't think you draw with imagination, you draw with memory or experience. Like all that things you see in irl or references you store in your brain
Drawing is a language, and in order to learn how to write in that language (meaning to draw) you have to learn how to read first. Reading in drawing means understanding an image, not just copying it. Understanding its perspective, form, how it looks underneath (ex. the skeleton underneath the body) , how it interacts with objects (ex. clothes on the body, how they fold etc.) , consider if it is a static or a dynamic image (ex. a box is static, but a robot moves, so how does it move? what parts are moving? in what range?). Once you learn HOW to understand an image then you have to actually put the effort to understand it. Draw it from multiple angles and think while you are doing it in order to actually memorize it and expand your information capacity, it's like learning the words of a language but far more complicated. Just like learning a language, once you've learned enough words you can manipulate/combine them into your own sentences and actually "create" something unique and express yourself. So before writing down what you want to draw ask yourself, do I really know how to draw that? For example if your idea is a female sexy character wearing underwear, holding a katakana and a revolver, having short hair and be in a dynamic pose you have to ask yourself if you actually know how to draw all of these stuff, and if you don't go study them. Study the female body, its skeleton, how is it different from the male skeleton, study the weapons you want her to hold, how her hands are gonna hold them, how their clothes are folding on top of her etc. So we've come to the conclusion that drawing is communication, a language that humans use to communicate their ideas. And I know that we want to draw our ideas as soon as possible but if we haven't already spent years of studying what we actually wanna be able to draw someday then we simply cannot do it yet. It's like we are trying to write a book in japanese without learning japanese first. To sumup: learn how to learn to draw (fundamentals), then learn what you want to draw (memorize stuff by drawing them), and then draw your ideas (combine the things you've memorized into something new), also it's okay to have references in front of you to remind you information but don't use them as a shortcut, you have to also study them separately, if you haven't studied clothes before don't expect that a reference of a clothing is gonna help you. To make it clear I am not a pro, but I've spend months of research in order to understand the right way to improve, along with a lot of stress and disappointment, so don't do the same to yourself, swallow your ego and admit that the language of drawing needs time and effort. Have fun learning!
I think the hardest part of drawing mechs, and the part that I don't want to do, is studying actual machinery to some extent. You need it as reference material. And if you wanna be able to just whip out a drawing of a mech randomly, you have to have those references somewhat memorized so it's second nature. Otherwise, it's no different than drawing everything else.
I’ve had a huge obsession with mechs for way too long, but I’m an artist who focuses more on more natural and environmental art, not man made things, so I’ve never been all that good at it. This video is actually amazing to watch, incredibly satisfying and your sense of balance with the drawing is god level 😂😂
My mechs are more anime inspired (like Gundam, Transformers, Mazinger Z, all that jazz) but I really want to try implementing that "realistic" style that you do so effortlessly!
This isn't just a video on how to draw something. It's honestly something I would expect my cad professor would give out as advice in designing your product.
"Every time I say the word mech, you can just replace it with whatever it is you want to draw." I will be drawing a piloted bipedal alpine samurai banana made for surveillance.
I do the exact same thing at 14:00 the first thing I do when actually realizing my mech suit from the sketch phase is getting an understanding of the mech's movement and capabilities and drawing the appropriate mechanisms and joints that allow for that movement
I thought it'd be super cute to do a gardening mech but then i remembered....Wall-e....Is he technically a mech? Lol idk...I've been too obsessed with animal crossing so it must be tending to flowers!
I’m trying to get a better understanding of mechs for an animation I’m currently workshopping. I have to say, understanding the skeleton of the machine is giving me a much better idea of how to imagine it’s composition and it’s movement. Thank you for making a video like this, I was looking for something to nudge me in the right direction and this video is absolutely perfect for that. Also, you draw incredible contours, your penmanship is very considered but still light and imaginative.
i've had mechanical drawing and design drafting courses in the past as well as working in the automotive and aviation fields. These have helped me to visualize. Building model kits helps too.
Drawing a good mech is just as hard as drawing a car hard at first but once you draw it enough the form from all angles becomes clear how to do it. Also is pays off to be good at drawing the human form too
In robotics the joints are called degrees of freedom also. Just keep in mind the laws of physics and stress points for how realistically a link can support a joint. I know how to build, but trying to learn how to design aesthetics. Nice video - thanks!
Slowly realizing that the biggest thing to getting better at drawing is just drawing more and practicing lol. Also that you will learn a lot of surface level details about whatever you are drawing when you look into the mechanics of it as he said. Kind of like how writers always talk about their search history with strange things. Same goes for artists too it seems just visually.
Damm, I thought I was the only one who drew complicated stuff using a pen, I usually use blue pens or black ones. I feel like using pens for drawing is better for rough sketches and stuff like that because you can't erase your mistakes, and you have to make it a part of your drawing instead. Then because of this, you become more confident with your lines and become better at drawing with more minimal mistakes. Also, for some reason after making a sketch, I just add more detail and shading until it becomes a full on refined drawing even though the drawing was just supposed to be a concept
Sitting at my desk, a blank sketchbook open in front of me, not knowing what to draw, then this pops up in my recommendations, guess I know what I'm drawing tonight!
A tip I could give is to have sketches of the human skeleton as well as the skeletons of animals, and then try to "mechanize" it, for example, the knees would be fitted with gears since it is a machine. You could also see sketches of some games like horizon Zero dawn or cyberpunk (srry for the bad English)
The problems with people not knowing how to draw Mechs is the same as them trying to draw the human figure without having at least read a book on human anatomy. I use to draw anime back in mid/high school and I always had problems drawing the human figure, drawing front or side poses where easy, but those where boring. And I've always wanted to draw fighting stances, characters posing, sitting, and doing interesting things but no book or lesson on anime ever helped me. Untill I found a few books on anatomy. If u want to learn more than anime basics don't buy books on anime or how to draw mechs. Try to find books on human anatomy and real life mechatronics or mechanical engineering and then apply the physics of what you've learned to make your designs.
What also helped me (at least with human anatomy) was to take like half a week of anatomic studies and trying to match them with the real world. I'd walk outside and watch people walking and such. It was pretty useful and fun seeing what I got right and what I got wrong, and it also gave me a reason to buy me some snacks.
In my opinion what makes mechs so hard to draw is making fake machines that look like they would work like real machines, bits and parts that properly connect and move within the limitations of the mechanism, which is hard even while using real life machinery as guidelines
i often ask myself the questions, mentioned in the video, about a lot of things. one example, is about making wands. i want to build one thats robotic. this video, inspires me, to think of the why of making a robot wand.
From a designer standpoint that mech wouldn't fly for snow terrain. Snow would accumulate on the ears and it weights tons. So they would bend or fall down when in stand by. From an illustrator standpoint... damn. That's good.
In one hand this made me realize that I am following the right path, I have been paying close attention to how joints move and would move,, taking into consideration how parts could colide, how parts need to support weight and alll of that. But in the other hand, now I feel that if I am struggling is because of something worse, I am lacking the creativity ☹

I feel like Im watching Spongebob show how he draws a perfect circle. Just draw the mona lisa, erase some of the finer details then youre all set! All joking aside, I do appreciate you going through the thought process of how to develop ideas.
back in 6th grade a buddy was trying to teach me how to draw a mech. i only got down the shoulders and everything else needed a ton a work. then out of nowhere my buddy stopped going to school for whatever reason (hope he's doing fine now). without him i never go the confidence to draw further than mech shoulders. needless to say, i had a huge collection of mech shoulder drawings hehe, thanks "Sayha".

(Yes ...Ray Studios Dragon and Robot with e-waste it's my inspiration)
On the topic of drawing without a sketch. I also draw with an ink pen, so drawing without a sketch is something im familiar with but i find using ball point pens and kind of "skulpting" from vague shapes works better for me, that said drawing machine detail is very fun and i tend to spend hours just winging it with the exposed mechanical parts and overlapping plating. Regardless, good video i still feel like i learned something, thanks man
I happened upon here randomly. And i really appreciate your links to music used. Your presentation was fluid and inviting. Thanks you and I might now draw a mechanical device.
As an architect I will reason this in analytic terms. First you establish the precedent studying similar cases aligned with your concept. Second you establish what type of autonomous unit you want to DESCRIBE. You chose the kangaroo type. Then you explore the JOINTS and the actuators of your autonomous unit. Each joint may have another joint for certain degrees of freedom. On such process you selected a pseudo perspective axonometric view. Your selection of concept requires a radar, computer recognition vision or camera and another set of sensors that depicts some sense of control dynamics. On the joints you adhere the motors similar to a KUKA robot arm. Basing your inquiry on robotic rudiments increases the level of authenticity in your subject. Then you go with the plating or armor that protects the joints and the servo mechanisms. These pieces are connected to the joints doing a similar gesture on form. For these, it's always good looking at construction arms known by everybody who have seen a construction equipment. 1. Sensors. 2. Joints. 3. Metal plating for enclosure of internal hardware such as motors and pulleys. 4. Energy storage or batteries for such case. This is obvious to you because you have drown many of these. Great artists and concept creators CONSTRUCT a program that establishes the order of priorities and style specification. When people sees great artists they should pay attention how they proceed with the creative process. It's very systematic, precise, exact, exhaustive and programmed with a purpose in mind. Aesthetics is function or form follows function. This is what I thought watching your video.
this was the first video by you that ever got recommended to me (but not the first video I ever watched!) and now I'm going to draw mechs so much I force them into my comfort zone.
I always draw with a sketch when I’m drawing people, since it’s easier to nail the anatomy if I mark out the proportions before hand. With mechs, I feel like there’s less of an idea of what looks unnatural, so having the anatomy be accurate to a preconception is less important (though no less difficult). Awesome video! :)
Good drawing technique, I also like how to draw sketches with simple tools, but the inspiration is difficult. I will try to increase the spirit of drawing again
you're so awesome, i thought you would be a real good design character your acting is so unfamiliar to me i want to draw you in my free time i'm not english speaking, i hope you'll understand me
I love how you finished the video with "I don't know.." Man you DO know. You have some great instinctive understanding of machinery, just don't let the language barrier frustrate you
I've always wanted to learn how to draw but I've been told I focus on details too much. Maybe drawing mechs is the way for me to practice and get better. Thanks for this video
If anybody else is concerned about making stuff totally realistic, and with very strong intent, know that Christopher Nolan, when making Batman Begins, said "I want a batmobile", and then he sculpted a lump of clay into a vague nugget shape and brought it to his production team, and they made a badass design out of it, which they then made fully functional with jump capabilities by jumping it a couple hundred times and replacing whatever broke on each test. You don't need to have such a large budget unless you're creating your own car for real, but that is the goofiest production story I have in my vast knowledge of trivia nobody cares about, and it led to something pretty much everybody agrees is cool and nobody bats (pun intended) an eye about. It's all about confidence and fluffy detail, as long as you can agree you won't know every little detail about the kind of thing you're creating as much as a specialist creator of that thing. And to expect yourself to understand all the details about everything you're "fictionizing" is to expect yourself to be able to do 75% of most jobs that involve creating real stuff, and that's just not feasible at all. I'm mostly talking to myself right now like I do on the subway but I hope this helps somebody

3. Metal plating for enclosure of internal hardware such as motors and pulleys.
4. Energy storage or batteries for such case.
This is obvious to you because you have drown many of these. Great artists and concept creators CONSTRUCT a program that establishes the order of priorities and style specification. When people sees great artists they should pay attention how they proceed with the creative process. It's very systematic, precise, exact, exhaustive and programmed with a purpose in mind. Aesthetics is function or form follows function.
This is what I thought watching your video.
I use a sharpie S-Gel for heavy lines and a 0.3mm Muji pen for fine lines.
Really great video! I’ve been struggling with making a design for a robot character and this was helpful
this was the first video by you that ever got recommended to me (but not the first video I ever watched!) and now I'm going to draw mechs so much I force them into my comfort zone.
I really think it isn’t about how more like what you draw. It’s the Design what I can’t imagine.

I always draw with a sketch when I’m drawing people, since it’s easier to nail the anatomy if I mark out the proportions before hand. With mechs, I feel like there’s less of an idea of what looks unnatural, so having the anatomy be accurate to a preconception is less important (though no less difficult).
Awesome video! :)
Your penstrokes are very clean.
i like the fact that Neon Genesis Evangelion is playing on the TV in the background heck yea :^)
Good drawing technique, I also like how to draw sketches with simple tools, but the inspiration is difficult. I will try to increase the spirit of drawing again
Oooh thank you so much. I wanted to draw cool robots and sci-fi art but didn't know where to start
I love your videos, thanks for this. What do you use to shade? Not the crosshatching/hatching, I mean the grey.
probably a marker
It looks like he uses just a grey alcohol marcher
Thanks for sharing! I really want to get into drawing mechs. They look sssoooo cool!
Evangelion in the back sets the whole vibe..LOVE IT
thank you so much!!!!!!! i never knew where to start with mechs but this helped a lot!
Lots of useful tips in this video which should help my drawings, thanks
you're so awesome, i thought you would be a real good design character
your acting is so unfamiliar to me
i want to draw you in my free time
i'm not english speaking, i hope you'll understand me
I actually came here looking for 3D modeling help, as I'm stuck on a robot I've got to make, and this helped enormously! Thanks!
Perspective,form,joints and u good to go 🙏
I love how you finished the video with "I don't know.."
Man you DO know. You have some great instinctive understanding of machinery, just don't let the language barrier frustrate you
your channel is so underrated
love your art
I've always wanted to learn how to draw but I've been told I focus on details too much. Maybe drawing mechs is the way for me to practice and get better. Thanks for this video
If anybody else is concerned about making stuff totally realistic, and with very strong intent, know that Christopher Nolan, when making Batman Begins, said "I want a batmobile", and then he sculpted a lump of clay into a vague nugget shape and brought it to his production team, and they made a badass design out of it, which they then made fully functional with jump capabilities by jumping it a couple hundred times and replacing whatever broke on each test. You don't need to have such a large budget unless you're creating your own car for real, but that is the goofiest production story I have in my vast knowledge of trivia nobody cares about, and it led to something pretty much everybody agrees is cool and nobody bats (pun intended) an eye about. It's all about confidence and fluffy detail, as long as you can agree you won't know every little detail about the kind of thing you're creating as much as a specialist creator of that thing. And to expect yourself to understand all the details about everything you're "fictionizing" is to expect yourself to be able to do 75% of most jobs that involve creating real stuff, and that's just not feasible at all. I'm mostly talking to myself right now like I do on the subway but I hope this helps somebody
Awesome video man. Thanks a lot!
these remind me of ym old art books from when i was a kid
shall you please suggest a book (or a series) for study and exercise.
this is amazing.
I have been trying create my own gundam mech and this video has helped me out SOOO much, your the best man, great video 🔥
Glad to hear it!
Huh, what a unique dog! I they love looking out the window on long car rides
