hey guys welcome to sketch a day I'm Spencer and I'm

so excited that you're here you made it thank you

so much I'm consistently blown away by the fact

that you guys are interested but you know what I'm gonna roll with it

because today I'm gonna show you one of my favorite techniques

that I like to use when I sketch sci -fi creatures monsters robots

and spaceships but before we begin if you haven't yet

if you're new if you're just like who is this dude hit subscribe turn on alerts

or if you just like the stuff hit subscribe

and turn on alerts that way you don't miss

when I actually post my videos the other thing you want to do head over to instagram

instagram .com slash sketchaday .com or just add sketchaday .com

and follow me there because I just post stuff to my story

and other sketches as well

and you'll want to sign up for my newsletter sketchaday .com slash newsletter why would you do

that you actually get a free downloadable I put together a guide with some killer advice

that I've picked up over the years I've been doing this for over a decade now

and I put some of

that together to share with you along with a step -by -step tutorial on how I render this chair okay

and some additional information on materials so be sure to check

that out so today we're gonna be using copic markers we're gonna using some brush pens

and I will put those materials down below you can always check there for the links

if you want to buy some materials use those links it actually helps support me

and what I'm doing here as I do this full time

so with that let's get started okay

so the the method I'm gonna be using today is just silhouetting shapes okay

so oft times when I go into an illustration or design,

I kind of have a fuzzy idea of what I want to do and where it's going to go,

but I may not be able to see and represent those details all up front.

So this is a way for me to

extract the complex details from the design and just really focus on the expression

and my intent of what I'm trying to do.

So to do that, I'm using a neutral N3 Copic marker today.

And let's start with something like just a scribble

and see you see what we come up with let's just have some fun today

so you can kind of just start scribbling

and you know you may as you as you're scribbling

you may think oh okay what what is he doing this is this is

so weird okay

but as I as I started scribbling I kind of thought whoa wouldn't

this be like a cool monster of some sort okay so with

that with these scribbles i'm just trying to create some silhouette

you can kind of see there's maybe some legs here

and something but now that i have my silhouette i can start to just quickly work

and this can act as a guide for me as i draw

and i'm using this pentel pen i've recently gotten into brush pens i'll put links again um below

but they tend to be just a little bit more expressive

and i just really really like to use them

so now at this point i can start to kind of pull out these shapes from the marker strokes okay

and it really just helps act as a quick

quick guide for what i'm doing so i can move quickly

and there's some built -in tone as well some shadow

you know as I as I'm going I'm thinking okay what are these things

you know what what can what can these marker strokes become

so maybe this thing's about to take a step forward

and I'm gonna sketch in a back leg here

and this should be really quick just keeping it nice

and loose okay

and I get to decide ultimately what these forms these shapes

are this is a bit outside of the the more rigid construction

that I I tend to do but it's a good way to loosen up

if you're just used to kind of sketching a certain way okay so

if you're interested in trying something different

this is just a good way to just get a little bit looser with your sketching

and hopefully as you sketch okay maybe this thing has like some crazy weird antenna of some sort

and I can just keep that nice and loose just like

so but it's a good way to just break the habits

and just shake things up if you're used to doing things a certain way okay um

so let me just add a little contrast here

because i really want the legs in the front to pop

so just by shading the the body a little darker in this back leg hopefully

you can kind of see this this front leg i can start to pull out some of that detail

right right through there just like so and maybe let's add just a quick shadow

underneath this guy just gonna also you'll notice

I'm leaving some spots white okay I'm even changing the direction

I shade all those things are going to contrast with each other or show up as a difference.

And so that's going to help these elements just kind of pop on the page, even just by using one pen, okay?

And one of the reasons I like this pen is I can tip it on the side

and I get a nice wider line, or I can angle the pen a little bit higher,

get something a bit more precise in terms of the line

that I execute okay probably need some eyes

so I'm gonna add some eyes here

and maybe this is its mouth for some reason it's just kind of weird I'm not an etymologist so I'm just

just making stuff up here as we go okay

but some kind of some kind of bug alien creature thing okay

so that's how I use the silhouette marker method to sketch

a bug let's try something else like a robot all right

so same thing taking my neutral gray marker here

and we'll just start sketching some shapes I mean in this in this case

I know I I want to do something like a bipedal robot

and this guy looks like he's gonna be a fat robot I also like sketching fat robots

but again if you're

if you're looking to just mix things up this is a good way to do it right

so I've got all these shapes

and now from these shapes let's use a different brush pen

so I've got these Kuretake brush pens

that I absolutely love I've got a fine medium

and then I've got a big one as well and

so now I can come in

100

and start to just like I did with the bug pull shapes out okay just like

101

so shapes in the back

102

and you can kind of see things are starting to to kind of pull up

103

or be pulled to the foreground rather um you know i sketch this thing on the back

104

and as i'm doing this i i like to imagine okay

105

you know what what could what could this shape be

106

or what could what could

107

that shape be um maybe this guy uh maybe just has an arm cannon for example

108

and no no arm so i can kind of rough

109

that in with my pen

110

if you notice again how i'm holding my pen almost halfway up the barrel okay

111

you want it to be light the pen is an extension of your arm

112

and don't bear down on it so much

113

that you're like transferring your stress that's in your head into your pen you want to just be chill

114

and zen and relaxed and have fun have a good time

115

because you can always start over all right then maybe

116

this is his actual fist here let's see i I always check my own hands if I'm drawing something.

117

I'm like, which side does the thumb go on again?

118

And sometimes I'll like pause and look at my hands.

119

So now I can start to scribble in maybe a bit more detail.

120

Maybe there's some articulation points here.

121

What does this robot's head look like?

122

I guess it's kind of turning a little bit into a Hulkbuster -style robot here,

123

but we'll just roll with it.

124

I was working on a toy design project, can't say for who, but I've been doing a lot of Iron Man stuff

125

so um yeah let's just say my mind's kind of there right now

126

but you can always change that too all right

127

so once i've gone over it with kind of this initial marker

128

or brush pen rather then i can come in

129

and start to introduce a bit more contrast and definition okay

130

so shadowing where i need shadow outline like so shade the torso in

131

again holding my pen almost halfway up the barrel keeping it light plus if i hold my pen

132

too close to the tip i can't really see what i'm doing you know

133

so that's also part of the advantage of of uh holding your pen

134

this way is you can actually see what you're drawing as you draw it

135

Alright, a couple more details,

136

line weight adjustments here, and I'll show you another brush pen that I like to use sometimes.

137

So again, this one's a Pentel, I think it's a sign pen or something like that.

138

We can even tweak this as we go.

139

now it's starting to look a little bit like bumblebee but just having fun

140

always remember just relax have fun try to come up with a game plan

141

if you will as you sketch but don't overthink it and just have a good time

142

because if you're having a good time we'll be able to see it in your drawing okay

143

so there's another example of using the blob method just really quick fast sketching just getting

144

it out okay one last one let's do a spaceship

145

I'm gonna start with just a blob like this maybe some other some other blobs like so

146

you can kind of see already where this maybe this is going but I'm just

147

reassociating keeping it loose okay very loose

148

but by keeping it loose you're just like you're not giving yourself time to like stress too much

149

and you can almost come up with some cool details as you go all right

150

so we'll use this bigger kuretake brush here

151

and we'll keep we'll keep this one just maybe a little little loose at the beginning

152

but again you can kind of see how

153

i'm even using the same method with the brush pen itself to just sketch in some shapes

154

you know maybe that's that's a cannon there i've got some sort of intake here maybe this is an engine with

155

some sort of wing attachment.

156

I'm guessing this is probably something of an alien spaceship here.

157

Some booster on the back.

158

And I'm not sure what this is, but it was pretty cool when I was sketching it.

159

So we're just going to roll with it and make it part of our spaceship design.

160

okay maybe this is some prototype prototype weapon that this this enemy is uh developed

161

okay this is what i sketched in here is the opposite of

162

that fin okay so now that i have

163

that in place i can jump to my other uh kuretake pen here

164

and maybe just start to add some details some part breaks things like

165

that rivets if necessary although it is an alien ship

166

so maybe they don't really have or use rivets who knows i haven't met them personally so it's hard to say

167

it's hard to say what they're like maybe they're like we come in peace

168

but we're gonna leave you in pieces hopefully you got my joke

169

so with that you can kind of see just how quickly this this method can work

170

and you could apply this to a variety of product design things

171

I believe I did a video in the past on the blob method

172

and how I use that to kind of sketch a car out

173

but in this case you know here's here's this maybe alien craft design

174

and with a little bit more work maybe another five minutes

175

which I will spare you from seeing but with another five minutes

176

or so you can you can imagine how this might continue to develop

177

and there's just my quick gestural drawing of a spaceship in fact one of the cool things

178

you can do is you can take that same marker and

179

if you want to you know show off some of the

180

forms just come back in that's some shadow core shadows just with one marker

181

okay one marker and some brush pins

182

and there we have a quick super quick drawing based on using this this blob method

183

or silhouetting method

184

if you will kind of just scribbling to map out some

185

quick forms make sense of it come up with a concept you can do this over

186

and over if you want to generate lots of ideas with similar maybe similar strokes

187

or similar style just to to pump out lots of ideas well thanks for hanging with me

188

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
