Sketching Guns
Thursday, October 6th, 2011
Holy cow does time fly. I’m so sorry for the downtime everyone!
I’ve been doing a lot of gun sketching lately to improve in creativity and structure of my gun sketches. I made a whole bunch, and they’re posted here. If you draw guns for modeling as well, something you should remember is this: Never TRY to be creative. If you just draw lots and lots of guns, you’ll find yourself making cool things up on the fly, but if you try to make each and every new sketch cool and amazing, you’ll fail because you will spending 3x as much time on each drawing. If you want a revolver for your game, grab some ref pics, look them over, and start drawing. Draw like 20 different revolvers. You’d be surprised how often you’ll end up with something very cool and good looking.
Also all of these were drawn without an eraser available. I don’t normally draw without an eraser nearby, but I was glad this time because it forced me to use each mistaken line as real detail instead of just erasing and being overly-specific.
