Hello,

I originally wanted to do a bot but thought otherwise. Anyway, this was meant as an exercise. C&C are welcome.

Your stuff is always drawn to a certain quality, I do like this one, but I must admit I like your robots better But as an exercise it very good!

Is it possible you could tell a little about how you go about drawing these industrial/mechanical drawings. Do you use a lot of guides like circles, elipses, rulers, french curves ect. Do you know of any good books that can teach you this "technical" style.

Thanks

Wow, great stuff!
How do you managed that thing with the ellipses?

Hi Ed,
I really like the graphical quality to your drawings. Only comment I have on this one, I found it hard to "read" the scale of the gun itself untill I found the gunner lost in the right corner. for some reason, my first impression was of a bigger machine, something along the size of an oil rig, or whatever. Looking back at the image, maybe it is those large tubes, in front, that made me think of pipelines, and so on. And the black wires hanging below,I saw them huge.
just my initial reaction...
One stoopid question : when you're in charge of designing dozens of mechanical things like these, for whatever projects, are you also in charge of the color scheme, overall look of the machines, or are these things taken later on by somebody else, say, by the guy who will render the scene(if it's 3D )?
it's cool you're posting here, btw,I don't go that much to the over-specialised forums :-)

think you use an ellipse guide. artbyfeng.com shows it off somewhere.

nice work ed - though i'm used to the more complicated stuff you do - like females.. hehe
