What are some good resources for learning how to draw and conceptualize

>>2377011
learn how real guns/weapons work,
study those,
find stuff that goes in a similar direction to what you want,
study those.

>find stuff
Why do you think I'm here asking for stuff? I'm looking for something more specific than just observation.

As retarded as I think /k/ is, their sticky does a very good job at teaching you how guns work and what types of guns there are. Don't post there just read the sticky

I'm going to help you because I love when some unknown loser like me can answer my questions

Also, massiveblack had a dvd with Coro about this topic in which he shows his process from conceptualizing to modelling in 3D.

I also want to add John Park's specific tutorial on the topic and his Foundation series.

This would get you enough understanding about how to develop sexy silhouettes, functions and renderings so you can create presentation pieces like the one you posted.

I also recommend the /k/ sticky like that anon said and a resource I love, imfdb.org - Like IMDB but for guns, categorized, different versions etc. Great for reference.

It includes fantasy weapons from videogames and anime so you're covered.

This is a perfect example of /IC/. The guy above you(>>2377092) gave you the perfect answer on how to improve but what you really want to hear is if there is some magic tutorial that'll unlock the secret to drawing guns quickly.

There is no secret, just draw all kinds of guns until you understand how they work. (google image search: gun) Once you spend awhile doing that you'll have enough knowledge to invent your own that don't look like shit. That's literally the answer to all these stupid "how do I draw this..." questions.

You have to put in the work and hours drawing shit from life, how do you think the guys who made all the instructional shit learned to do it in the first place? All that crap won't let you draw guns like OP's image.

You don't need a tutorial, just google image search and a few hundred hours with your sketchbook. Have fun.

Allright fine jeez.

Just being realistic.

But if you do want alternatives to google or pinterest for images you could find/buy old auction catalogues from gun auctions. I have some that are thick spiral bound books with lots of well printed color images. One bonus of the catalogue is it gives you the name and date of the item so you can google search more images of it or things from the same era. Useful if you have catalogues that show jewelry, or furniture and what to know the name to search for more ref on google.

I know Ebay has a whole section of them.

Oh shit... that's a good idea.
