How much of a handle on human anatomy do you need to draw humanoid mech?

>>7724104
Holy shit, this is beautiful man

>>7731153
Mmm not much. Just a basic understanding of the shapes and proportions of the body. You’d benefit a lot from drawing mannequins if you want to study humanoid mechs

How would you guys go about designing a machine meant to look like it was designed by robots. I feel like the logical choice would be to make it bland and efficient but that seems boring.

AI-designed parts optimised for high strength and low weight have an organic look to them, with lots of irregular triangles, rounded edges, and holes. I'd take some inspiration from slime mold structures and insect anatomy. Unlikely the overall structure would be humanoid either

Ideally you want to tune up your perspective knowledge. Probably start with perspective made easy or how to draw by Scott Robertson. Perspective made easy is for more general perspective and life drawing while how to draw is more advanced and focuses on vehicles and what people on this general would benefit more from (though PME is still a very useful book that every artist should study nonetheless.) maybe delve into some mechanics related media like transformers, hearthstone, armored core, shit like that.

Is it possible to make a perfect square as long as I got a horizon line? I briefly watched a random tutorial on YouTube so I think I got the idea, but just in case if you guys could recommend me some technique.

Just want to make a correct proportion of a circle in perspective for wheels, after that I finally can transfer this to a new clean paper.

It gets more difficult for me to keep up with the lines as they're overlapping more and more, especially tilted ones because I keep forgetting about them and make mistakes trying to mirror things to the other side, that's the reason why there's so much lines.

>>7755862
It doesn't have to be the horizon line, it can be any line. But what you want to learn is intuitive perspective. Basically you need to practice using all of your guidelines and using less and less of them.

>>7756101

>>7756101
Great fucking work! I can tell you draw this type of stuff a lot

>>7759002
Honestly anon, just use ink as much as possible. Make ink your standard.

As someone who's always wanted to make my humanoid robot OCs more "robotic," basically my only path is to look at current robotics and copy that, right? Unless I want to go out and get a degree in it
I also have some figures I can look at the joints of for a base but that wouldn't cover the more technical parts

what media do you get your design inspo from?

>>7753527
That front wheel is off center of the centerline of the vehicle.
Secondly, the girl's ass looks a bit out of perspective and doesn't really look like it would be resting on the bike (assuming the hidden side is symmetrical with the side facing us.

>>7731887
I like those strips of tape above the front left wheel there. Nice little detail.

I think your perspective looks great, especially on the middle image of the APC. Are these in 2 point perspective or what? I’m fairly new to perspective and trying to get these towers to look better. The panels are aligned in various planes so I did one point perspective for the height and then added a 2nd point for each group of panels and it seemed to work ok. I use a string taped down to table because the points are well off the page. Any advice would be appreciated.

been trying to find some more universal artist(retard)-friendly sources of knowledge for concept arting mechanical/manmade objects, so far almost done with picrel and its pretty good, its meant for industrial designers which is sort of related
aside from the more redundant parts like ergonomics he also explains all the basics of thermodynamics and even has a pretty thourough chapter on materials
anyone know some other good books in similar vein?

>>7755862
A technique I developed when learning descriptive drawing was to lightly erase areas where lines where getting too crowded, and then redraw in the ones I wanted to keep. I would keep in mind an hierarchy of lines based on how important I judged them, and make them more visible or less based on that.

I wouldnt erase to the point where any line actually dissapeared, but it would increase vizibility. And with enough repetitions, past construction lines would give a nice texture and the dirtiness wouldnt pop as much by contrast. So I could get away without redrawing on a clean new page.

Hey mechbro when you initially started drawing mechs was your perspective bad? How did you go about getting better at this? Did you use grids and practice simple point perspectives and kept you simple mechs respective to your perspective? Perspective seems to be the one thing I struggle with the most and I want to know how someone of your skill approached their studies?
