These videos are like opening gates to a different plain of existence. Learning how an expert thinks, what the general focus and problems are and how experience helped to overcome it. Just magnificent

Darren is a beast! Cant wait to see the book released, instant buy.

omg those lines! every sketch is a piece of art!

You're absolutely on point with these featured tutorials Scott! Just inspired with these last two videos. The exchange of ideas and knowledge between designers is a beautiful thing. I look forward to more of these styles of videos. I absolutely agree with the medium bit.. I'll sit and noodle a sketch for hours whenever I have pencil on hand haha

It's amazing to go watch his online portfolio after watching this, such a big difference from these doodles to his finished work.

Scott, your books are always top quality. thanks for this. looking forward to Darrens book.

Thank you to both of you for this awesome book, l spend at least a day a week looking through it. So much inspiration its impossible to take it all in, in one go.

Great work Darren Quach !!!! Thanks a lot Scott for sharing his work !!!!!!

Feeling motivated

Those look so good. I'm in love with that sketchbook.

This is just great, that's a quality artist right there, one that knows his foundations to the core and one that has excellent design skills. Really inspiring! Thanks for this :)

Awesome sketchbook. Great job of asking the questions everyone always asks too.

Love the mechanical designs! Very well drawn stylistically with the pens and makers!

those are some crazy detailed designs. thank you for sharing

First time visiting. I got so inspired I just have to sub. Thanks for sharing!

Holy moly the variety of form was frightening. motivational

Wow! This was so helpful! Thank you Darren and Scott!

I just want to say that you have some very interesting videos. I like that you have guest artists and that you show their sketch books too. By watching your videos, it has inspired me to start drawing again. I stopped when I was in my early 20's due to everyday life just getting in the way of my drawing. I just turned 49 years old and really enjoy drawing again. Thanks so much for your time and effort in your videos. I too will continue to draw at least one item everyday because it's fun and very satisfying. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Love these videos. Thanks guys!

Another great sketchbook!

wow. I can't wait for the book to publish

this really motivates me to draw more. thanks

You ask some really good questions Scott. I appreciate it.

Mr Scott you are my biggest inspiration and your works are outstanding . I am an industrial designer and i was a kind of lost about sketching or what to sketch to completely get in to the mood . Your drawings helped me create my own world . Thanks a lot !

delicious variety and thoughts of the structure under things. thank you!

Great designs and the line work is beautifull! great episode thanks

simply amazing! thanks for sharing

Awesome. Thank you for making those vids. Keep em coming !

I'm really liking your videos, they get me drawing.

watching it the 3rd time, love it

Strangely I was searching for a mech sketchbook today on youtube and couldn't find anything, a little while later checked my sub feed and the first thing there was this! Thought that was pretty fricken cool! Sick drawings!

Really enjoying Inkworks Vol.1. Great post, really enjoyable.

i love mecha. Nice job.

Well done ;)!! love this sketchbook series!

after 7 years.. finally I bought the book! :)

The last two videos have been amazingly inspirational! I could watch these every day. I'm feeling more confident with my decision to transition ink drawings as a sketching medium. I have a tendency to overrender which slows down repetition which is essential to design. Ink forces me to think before making a mark and it forces me to move on when a drawing isn't working. The fact that the mech sketches take 5-20 minutes to create is a little shocking to me since working digitally I've had times when I could easily spend 6 hours on the first thumbnail every day.

Awesome sketchbook!

This helped me getting ideas for drawing mechs even though I draw for fun

So inspiring! Gave me an idea...thanks for posting:)

This is amazing! I'd love to do the same one day.

I was so caught up in the drawings and what you were saying, twice I tried to turn the page. Thank you, it was a great video. John S.

wonderful, thanks for inspiring me

this is really really awesome... and very informative and inspirational at the same time... thank you so much... :)

So many sweet designs!!! *___*

Awesome video! It would be awesome if you made a follow up video in which darren or you made a bare bones sort of silhouette and then you both separately filled them out and finished them :o.

Ooh My God! I really love this sketches! Im motivated to improve my skills with this video, Congrats buddy !

Pretty awesome.

What a great name!

Awesome!!!

Awesome sketches

This will be a cool book. Great stuff Darren

Very great design idea.

this is awesome

beautiful

Eyegasm!

I know it's a long shot but can u get Daniel Simon to show some of his sketches? That would just top everything! ^_^

Awesome video!

Awesome. One of the takeaways I had from this video is where you mentioned you need to 'know your audience.' I had been working on a project, and showing the sketches to the client... the results were rather disappointing, and the client was becoming increasingly frustrating to work with. I thought I was helping the client to see my thought process, but the bottom line is that they are not familiar with the artists' thought process, and it just confuses them. It is really important to know your audience, and what is going to be appropriate to show them. That being said, this video was a wonderful tour through an awesome set of sketches and thumbnails - which I, as a fellow artist, thoroughly enjoyed.

Darren says, "Exactly, yeah" a lot lol.

awesome work Darren

You,re amazing😀

I wish I could draw like DIS.

A lot of masamune shirow influence. :)

THAAAAANK YOUU!!!!!!

thanks

I'd like to see his sketchbook for when he worked at Insomniac. For a while there my favorite games were consistently made by Insomniac, I've played every one of their games except Fuze and Sunset Overdrive, the Ratchet & Clank and Resistance series have always been right near the top of my list. It's interesting to see what the guy who came up with some of the weapons and chimera is capable of in a slightly different setting.

Thank you Scott and Darren. You can cut the inspiration with a knife! Keep it up!

I'm drowning in inspiration

Time to sketch some creations!

this really motivates me to avoid awkward interviews

Fantastici Progetti !

Can't wait to see John Park hahha... nice sketchs, i learned a lot from this videos, keep it loose and thing more :D

I wish I could draw that good

From 11:43, the mech on the left is awesome. Way too late, but I wonder about the meaning of the 2 red dots from 12:57. Wicked sketchbook!

"exactly"

Just checked out his website...wow...amazing stuff on show. Not sure if anyone can answer this one but in the Mechanics section of his gallery what does he use for the colouring in of images? I'm just curious if they're things like copic markers or some digital medium.

more!:)

@10:38 looks super cool

🤩😍

Kow yokoyama would be pleased

Does anyone know what shade of copic markers he uses? and any links would be awesome,

i would kill for a decent mech game for xbox or any console, the best one was phantom crash if you could get something atarted im sure you would be a hero

where can we buy this?

I liked it before I even watched it, lol :D

what was that render book you were referencing in the latter part of the vidya?

how do u draw a mech i can only make a mech out of golfball, cylinder

What’s that sketchbook called?

bacana eu gosto muito.

Does Darren have any social profiles where we can follow his work, Art Station for example?

What class did he take to draw like this

the voice is like Jazza

What's the name of the book?

福郭WWWW

awesome work! but... does Darren realize his rubber stamp is stamped 90 degree off? :P

you know XD

Anyone know the dimensions of this sketchbook?

"oh no he will only show one side of the sketchbook.. we're all gonna dieee aaaaa...aa..." my brain when you said you'll only show one side of the page.. my other brain: i want him to make a video showing all the pages we did'nt see.. me: (-_- ) i totally approve of this art. gimme more.

Jesus. O_O

First!
