I found your Deviantart, you've got some really good stuff.


Oh geez... That account holds all my secrets... dont go back too far if you wish your vision to stay working properly. You have had your retinas warned. Aka stuff that goes into the past is pretty terrible...

Absolutely gorgeous.
Argus is probably my favorite bipedal mech outside of 3025 setting.

OK so the biggest thing you can do is to practice and be patient. Nothing can replace that. However I do just happen to have a tutorial that Autodesk sketchbook pro asked me to put together. If you aren't using or never heard of sketchbook pro, it's fine. Just look at what I'm drawing and ignore the tool tips. http://www.sketchboo...w-mechs-basics/

Basically my process is: start super loose and rough. This is where you get your drawing in good proportions and compositionally good. At this stage ignore details at all costs. Once happy, draw a more refined layer on top working in details and fixing perspective etc. Then just keep doing that until you are happy.

Look closely and you can see my rough and loose sketch underneath my Argus. I left it in there as it can sometimes add some visual interest. It's mainly just a personal preference. This sketch could do with at least another pass for linework and details but I'm OK with this a little looser. My original post in this thread has another linework pass.

Hope that helps

Pants!

I added this over on the contest page as well, but I really wanted to come back to this pic and do some rendering on it. Its not finished and I want to keep chipping away and refining it.

Good times...

After reading the Blood of Kerensky novels and hearing about some battlemechs I decided to try and redraw this guy
