Drawing & Sketching Practice - 3D Oblique Geometric & Organic Forms

This is the the simplest of all 3D forms. The oblique drawing. If you can draw a shape, you can draw oblique. Simply adding a third dimension at 45 degrees to the horizontal. 

In this video I’ll show you how you can learn about the concept of an Oblique Drawing and how to practice with a variety of oblique blocks. Then we move on to drawing oblique shapes and forms. 

For the last bit, we always need some fun. I’ll show you how you create 3D Oblique building block structures.

Examination! Everybody’s Anxiety. “Study” or “Revision”? What’s the BEST Strategy?

The examination is everybody’s anxiety. However it can also be stress-free. You CANNOT wait for weeks or days to the examination day and then start thinking how you should study or revise. You want stress-free? You just need to know what it is, how it works and you find a way to make the best of your time and effort, and find a strategy to make it work to your advantage.

In this video I defined what “Examination” is and it’s main intention. This concept is important for you to understand the topics that follows.

Then I shared my personal experiences on how I overcame and managed to score close to a 100% for a subject I knew almost nothing about in my graduation year. Just few weeks before the major examination. I am not encouraging anybody to leave everything to the last of the minutes. But I am sharing with you that if you knew such strategies exists, you will do so much better. 

Finally I went into great length describing what to me is the ‘Ultimate Revision Strategy” for examination. Making the best use of the principles of memory retention and time. And how you will surely know you are ready for the examination. Because too often than not we hear people say, “I already studied. I read and I understood everything. But I still failed.” Something very important is missing. And I’ll reveal to you what that is.

Watch the video till the end. You’ll learn a thing or two.

Drawing & Sketching Practice - “Warm Ups”: Lines, Circles, Ovals and Curves, and more…

In this video I bring you through the steps of warm ups for sketching. 

As usual I drop some nuggets of tips and tricks to help you make better progresses. You will learn about warm ups with lines, circles, ovals and curves. And how you can create intermediate variations along the way and on your own. For example varying spaces and line weights, and sizes, etc. 

Feel free to pause after each warm up section so you can continue with more practices on your own, or simply just taking a break to digest the contents. Or if you are quick enough, follow me through the entire video without stopping.

At the end of the warm up practices, I’ll attempt to identify a meaningful profile from the ‘mess’ and turn it into something comprehensible and familiar. If you are adventurous enough, follow me through to creating a 3D form out of that.

Watch and learn with me about sketching “Warm Ups”
