Are you interested in drawing giant robots and otherworldly machinery, but don’t know where to start? Have you bought various tutorial books and still need tips? Need help trying to develop your own style in lieu of an eastern vs. western approach? This page, though not a be-all end-all solution for aspiring gearheads, will strive to be a place where you can gain understanding in my journey of creating original fictional mecha, machines, vehicles, and weapons. I’ll provide tips and tutorials about the fundamentals, details, tools, and real-life influences behind this broad genre of engineering-influenced conceptual design, and hopefully show readers that though it is often demanding, mecha design is also very fun just like any other art form. And for those who have inspired and helped me before, I’ll give credit to them too, to help perpetuate the community force behind our ways.
