Instead of drawing outlines, start by sketching the three-dimensional "skeletons" of your objects. Most complex pieces are just combinations of:
To "make a piece" in the style of Scott Robertson's , you should focus on industrial design sketching techniques. This approach uses perspective and construction to build complex objects from basic shapes. 1. Build with Basic Forms

: Lines that follow the "wrap" of an object's surface to show its 3D form.
: Parallel or intersecting lines to build up darkness. Instead of drawing outlines, start by sketching the
Use different strokes to add texture and depth to your piece:
Shading gives your objects weight and volume. Follow the to create a realistic 3D effect: Highlight : The spot where the light hits directly. Halftone : The true color/value of the object. Core Shadow : The darkest part of the object itself. : Parallel or intersecting lines to build up darkness
: Light bouncing back from the surface onto the shadow side. Cast Shadow : The shadow the object throws onto the ground. 3. Practice Sketching Techniques
