Thanks Asil, most appreciated!

Hi Mikael, this is pretty awesome for us here in India, as the Gnomon DVD's are a little out of budget of us.

Great sketch, awesome music, and super awesome words. Cant wait for more. And I'm sure no one will find your creative design process, boring :)

A big thanks from India.

i agree with sahil here... i learn t a lot from this video
thanks

Great guys, thanks alot for those kind words. I can promise you that more videos will come, both on simple ideation and photoshop sketching.

Hej Mikael! Great video! Sketching and philosophy in one :) Ett tips för framtida lektioner: Försök att göra den mycket kortare. Det kan vara svårt men var hård och klipp bort, klipp bort , klipp bort. Jag jobbar ganska mycket med video och har fått tvingat mig själv att klippa ner så mycket som möjligt men det är värt det.

Great input Stina!!

Hi Mikael and Stina,

I just translated Stina's opinion :). And before I comment on it, I would just like to say that I have just started sketching car so designing and rendering cars is the next milestone for me which is far away in the future.

So I think the duration of the video worked out perfectly for me. As I was not just staring at the screen trying to adapt Mikael's every stroke, but rather I was sketching with him (little quick thumbnails).

I must have filled up about couple of dozen pages in an hour. Because it felt like I was actually sitting with a lecturer and sketching along with him. A quality lecture like this, with great sketching, music and words of wisdom, any shorter than an hour will be unjust :).

An hour long lecture really helped me draw consistently and patiently. And I think it shouldn't be cut any shorter.

Sorry Stina, just my two cents :)

That´s the best feedback I could ever get Sahil!

oh its wonderful

Sahil I couldn't agree with you more, i'm a industrial design student from coventry university, now I know what UMEA is all about thanks a ton Mikael I sincerely hope to see more video lectures from you and I would genuinely like to contribute in what ever way I can just so that these lectures dont stop coming any which ways there is very little material for designers available .. which could take from scratch please mikeal this is an amazing video and I sincerely hope to see more lectures of same duration from you,

hats off .. go Umea (hehe )

Mehek

Wicked Sixnout!
But I didn´t really understand that you "know what Umea is all about", could you please be more specific?
We are already planning video 2 & 3 since the feedback has been so good.

Hey Mikael,

A very Merry Christmas and a super New Year to you. I hope the new year is more prosperous than the ones gone by :)

Videos 2 and 3 :D, awesome news. You got any tentative date of release ?

A Happy New Year to all you guys.

Best wishes for 2009 everybody!

There´s no release dates set yet for the upcoming videos....just sometime this spring.

Hej Mikael!

Jeg går på arkitektskolen i Århus i Danmark, jeg skal undervise i marker tegning i morgen og er lidt nervøs:) Men jeg har lige set din video for første gang, jeg har lært en masse og har fået et fantastisk boost så jeg ikke kan sove, men jeg vil også hellere skitsere;)

Fantastisk! glæder mig til næste video!!

Venlig hilsen

Hey Mikael.

I can't thank you enough for this video. Truly you have inspired me. Ive watched this video a number of times, you have a great voice and very good advice. This video was very entertaining.

Cheers!

Thanks again everybody for all the nice feedback, means alot!

Hi Mikael
Can we have something on
1. interior design rendering...IP and door trims
2. the tutorial uploaded by you talks about a detailed rendering. Can we have something from you which can be a much faster for the ideation stage..say 15 for a concept.
3. sketching in alias autostudio..using a wacom pen/ cintiq.

another query...the way u marked out the silouhette in the initial stage on the sketch is something very new but I believe it needs a lot of practise for getting the correct proportion.

Hi Arup,

It´s not very likely that I will be doing a interior rendering tutorial, just because I´m an "exterior guy".
The next video will be about ideation and markers sketching.
Photoshop stuff will come, trust me!

Hi Mikael
I come from China, this video has help to me .
I like you drawing up the background shadow very much, also imitates is drawing up, but the effect as if does not have you seems better, did not know that what you do have better suggestion to this?

buenisimo

Really nice movie. Can you tell me what pencil you are using for shading?

whats that wristwatch you are wearing in the whole video? BTW, great tutorial! Learned a lot from it, and the music made it very entertaining as well. Keep 'em coming!!
