I was curious what kind of program you were using in your car tutorial. And were you using a tablet by any chance? I've only started drawing my cars by hand and am curious as to other methods people are using.

Thank You

Hey!

I am a third year ID student at Carleton University. I took a year off to focus on my minor and didn't draw for a LONG time and I came across this site and you guys are amazing! Thank you so much for the videos. It's different to practice on your own and follow a video as opposed to being in studio having everyone just watch you know? It's a different vibe. Not to be rushed. Anyways, I really found them helpful!

Thank you! :)

Congratulations on creating an excellent site, very nice layout and easy to navigate. Its really refreshing to find a site dedicated to ID sketching. Im looking forward to see how it develops.

Just some thoughts, what do people think of Copic markers? And is any of the examples here large scale such as on A1 flip charts. I find drawing on such large paper can be really effective if working with groups of non designers. Just wandering what people think.

I visited productdesignforums frequently, just to look at your stuff and be amazed. Now I see how you guys do it and I can learn along. In my opinion, every designschool has it's own way of teaching to draw and it is good to see more techniques than one. So in a way, you are my second designschool.

Spencer when did you go to BYU? I went to Brigham Young in 2000. I love this site. I think you guys have a really wonderful thing going on here. I'm currently at Metro State in Denver, and I've been talking about this site to some of the teachers. Only thing is this is going to make the field that more competitive. Do you remember a teacher named Dave a BYU that used to work at NIKE. What was his last name? Anyway, write me back. Hope to hear from you soon.

TO BOCK - I'm not an expert, but I think I know the answer to your question. Sketchbook Pro's main advantage over Painter is the speed that it transfers your strokes from the tablet to the screen. Painter has some lag, but Sketchbook Pro is virtually instantaneous - it's amazing, basically like real sketching.

As for rotating the canvas - Sketchbook Pro does it differently than Painter - when you rotate the image in Sketchbook Pro it re-rasterizes the image so if you do it too much you lose quality. It's a shame because Painter does it so well. Hopefully one company will incorporate the advantage of the other in a future version so we can have the perfect sketching program.

Also, I have never used a Cintiq, but I have used an Intuos3 tablet with both programs and it works splendidly. It's not the 'virtual paper' effect of the Cintiq, but the learning curve isn't that long (IMO). Unless you've got some mad bank I would say start with an Intuos.

I like what you guys have done, I was suprised it took this long for somebody to man up and do it. Some of the videos are great, try and keep posting more, I know it might not be the most fun thing for you guys to do, but it helps a ton of people, so thanks. Cheers

No you can't rotate the canvas in SBP with a command like you can in Painter. I however use SBP mostly on a Wacom Cintiq12wx, so rotating (no matter what program) is just done by wrestling with the device a bit. The recommendation of "the program of choice" would have to go to SBP for me. I love Painter as well and use it a ton, but for simplicity and bang for buck right out of the box I would go with Autodesk.

As far as using an intuos...it works about the same for both programs. In other words....lots of control z's...

alright...about Autodesk Sketchbook Pro...I want to know more about this software from those who have used it a little, a lot and tons. If you were to recommend only one digital sketching program, would this be it? And how does it compare to Painter? The question was asked below, but I didn't see an answer...can you rotate the canvas like unto Painter? Aaaand...how is using Sketchbook Pro on a Wacom Intuos tablet instead of a Cintiq? Hopefully there are some knowledgeable souls out there. Thanks in advance!

We have a goal to work on a downloads section where you can pick up brushes, demos and other goodies.

Loving the site so far. Can you guys share some of your custom brushes and settings that you guys use for Corel Painter or Sketchbook Pro?
