Brilliant
That was really helpful. Although I'm not sure you should be tracing isn't that art theft?
or is it different for drawing guns, anyways aside from that it's to the point and helpful even though I never draw guns

I've never heard of a single case of gun-tracing turning into a lawsuit. You gotta figure, there's tons of ads, shows, and other works that use rotoscoping... Sometimes these rotoscopes feature guns. THEY never get lawsuits, so I doubt us, the common artist, will.
If anything, it's free-advertising for the gun manufacturer. Look at the Desert Eagle. Totally impractical, very little advertisement on their end, but REALLY popular.
My god
These make my gun drawings look like water guns ! XD
StealthBeast responds:
LOL.
I could've said that at one point. Hope you learned something from this then.
nice tut!
very excellent tutorial! i wish i had seen this before i tried to make a gun. it would have looked much better and more realistic. you should make a followup tutorial about drawing guns with more complicated features. for example a belt fed machine gun on a tripod or how a top break revolver loads or some such thing. that would be awesome. even just a timelapse of you doing one would be sweet.
StealthBeast responds:
I did create a timelaps of me doing one. It was under "How to make the gun"
Go to Lesson Selector, then "Tracing demonstration".
As for things like Machine Guns and break-top revolvers? Not a bad idea. Who knows, maybe I'll make another.
No nonsense indeed
Straightforward, to the point, and knowledgeable.
And bringing the Longdeagle back in the Recoil demonstration made me lol.
Mostly common sense stuff I already knew, but faved for quick reference anyway
(b'-')b
ughhh
honestly, no. this is not an artist's guide. if anybody would want to learn how to properly draw them, go on google images or go to some museum and look at the detail.
here all im seeing is showing the gun, but no demonstration on how to draw it. if you would do that then i would give a better review.
StealthBeast responds:
...
I most certainly did explain how to draw them, AND I gave a full-fledged demonstration... AND I set up a SEPERATE demonstration so that you could watch as I created the gun step by step by step, and forward or backward. What more could you possibly want?
This is art, not rocket science. My explanation gave the bare-essential tools an entry-level artist needs to start creating these guns without making some of the most common, frusterating errors newbie artists make. It's a head start; a first step; a cornerstone... There's no magic words that I can spew to make you instantly understand everything about guns and how to make them. It's impossible. That's not how tutorials work.
Once you watch this animation, tinker around a bit. Your skill isn't supposed to just stop until the next great tutorial comes out and teaches you something new... Going onto Google images and looking at the detail is EXACTLY what you're supposed to do. There's no tutorial in the world that can possibly replace that, but BEFORE you go out and do that, it helps to have a simple base; a foundation with which to build off of... THAT'S what this animation was designed to do, and judging by everyone else's review, it executed that flawlessly.
lolfan88, I can't help you any more than you are willing to help yourself.
