Also let me share with you what is probably my best drawing ever. This intricate cutway of a steam locomotive, old book style. Hope you enjoy it.

I don't really remeber but it was slowly made between breaks in work/academia. Also a lot of time spent just in research and drafting how and where to cut stuff in the drawing. Wow I have completely forgotten about my Deviant art page, time to post some stuff I guess haha

Thank you so much! :) It can take some tries to get more complex shapes fully right, I really like to subdive things into boxes and then use them to size the contours of the more complex shapes. Cool, I wich good luck and I'll keep an eye out for it! Interesnting book, I have been wanting to buy a book about drawing to perfect my illustrations and I think that one might be it, so thanks for the recommendation :D

I figured you would like this drawing. As for the educational part. I guess I missed some nuances again in your aim (*little sigh...*).

The book seems interesting. A quick search showed the book is als on the internet archive (although a Hardcopy is always nice).

This is deftly impressive! o:
Also checking Joao's instagram: You really know how to use/draw both perspective and proportions of shapes super well, like wauw!

In terms of educational drawing – my aim is more set on drawing manga and educational content related to the art fundamentals + manga. However, I have actually ordered home Scott Robertsons' book "How to draw", which delve into exactly the kind of stuff that Joao is drawing :D

JoaoDaFonseca • 2024-07-16 14:13:30

Thank you! Yes it was drawn by me, in bits along 2 months, for sure my most challenging piece ever. And yes, it is mostly color pencil with some markers for shading and such. I have made a couple drawings, I have them posted on isntagram if you want o check.

Hi everyone! I am not dead! Just a quick status update, I am in my final year of my masters and there is only my thesis left to do. I've also become a volunteer at the local animal shelter, so I don't know if I am going to have much free time in the summer. Nevertheless I hope all is good with you! Greetings, João.

eagoy That's a bloody shame. No back-up's to salvage? At least the uploaded ones here with a download, are re-download-able.
JoaoDaFonseca • 2021-07-21 06:20:41

My last backup is from 6 months ago... (yeah... should have done more :/ ). Yeah thankfully those ones are here, tho for copyright reasons I avoid posting downloads to protect my work.

GrandPixelMan Awww shit... Been there too, such a shame. No chance to get any of it back?
JoaoDaFonseca • 2021-07-21 06:19:06

Hmmm... Those are done quite a lot over time I think. So a default one (normal) scale wouldn't be that special (although it still is going to look better than most I guess). Or go massive again with a 10:1 scale (in the hopes you'll find some nice blueprints).

Just post my 10:1 detailed LMS Coronation Scot! Go check it out and tell me what you think! I am really proud of this one!

In another note I'm officially back at classes so my projects are going to slow down again.

Ooh, actually that's a very good sugestion! I also find those engines and their mechanism very insteresting. Maybe it will be a nice challenge! I once even tried to make a Lego one xD.
