Description
I've gotten a couple complaints that my tutorials don't actually teach you how to DRAW guns.I don't know what else to explain so I'll just break down every type of gun I've explained into simple shapes and color coding.
There is no one way to draw guns, and they come in many many different shapes and sizes. This is only the basics.
If you want to learn about every gun, I suggest using google images to reference and/or looking at this site: [link]
Remember, references are your friend. REFERENCE.

This type of tutorial is great, it lets the artist's imagination "run wild", and helps the process of imagination by giving the artist a basic shape and structure to work with...I like it, good job!

Thanks! This is but a small taste of an entire series of gun tutorials I've made though. It's important to understand their function in order to know what is you're drawing, for the sake of believability.
So if you haven't already, I strongly recommend taking a look at the rest of the gun tutorials.

You're welcome, and I'll take a look at your other tutorials.

partailly XD.
can you tell me what you think? [link]
trying to base it off the russian STVD from ww2.
unfortunatly i had no references at the time.

I think you mean PTRD.
Regardless...it's pretty bad. I can't see the bolt action or where the magazine goes and the trigger seems to be curving backwards for some reason. The scope is missing adjustment knobs and should be elevated more.

well i've never drawn a scope before so i can change that...
and i've modified it so the clip feeds into the right side.... and i couldn't figure out how to draw the bolt action.
mmm.... i'm planning on re drawing it....
yeah i screwed up the trigger.
thanks i'll try to work on it.
*brreaks out ww2 book of weapons*

I suggest looking at my sniper rifle tutorial if you haven't already.
What's this person doing with an old-ass gun anyways?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's based off of. the design that is.
it's a character in the game i'm making. it's been modified to shoot 20mm rounds.
and by the time of the game the weapon is 13 years old from when she fought in a war. the only thing up to date is her ammunition and small arms.
I try to look. i think i missed it XD

I suggest googling "bullpup bolt action" too. Though I've never seen a 5 round 20mm magazine that's behind the trigger. Maybe 'cause it's too freaking huge to go back there. In which case, the magazine should probably be in front of the trigger.
Your rifle's grip doesn't even have space for the thumb to go through, by the way.

....
modifications.... on the way....
...and moving the trigger back and the feed forward...
... i feel like i just got a sledge hammer of reality to my face.
thanks for the uhhh.. forward thinking advice

You're welcome.
Critique helps, even if it's the painful truth.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i love the painfull truth XD i'll probabbly leave the design mostly the same but make those slight changes. mostly the change of the handle and the scope. so.. it needs to be higher right?

By the way, nice USP avatar.

I will
and hehe, thank you, I can tell you know about guns n stuff

How do your tutorials NOT help you draw guns? Hell, you did this in the tutorials, and animated the action as well.
Oh well, yay for more resources.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
besides, your tutorials cover perspective AND mechanics at the same time, so if people can't figure it out from that then I dunno what they want!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SERIOUSLY...THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Imagination suits me fine, half of my guns shoot pies and cats out of them, anyway.
I dunno, teaching the mechanics of the gun is way more useful anyway. Drawing the gun shape won't really do much to let you draw it moving mechanically, or in perspective which I'd say is the most important part.

Oh how I love you. Immensely.
People better be thankful. :3

Also, your avatar makes me uncomfortable.

L-M-A-O!!!!!
Well at least its just a 50x50 size avatar and not 100x100.
I think you'll survive. ;3

You can still tell even with the crappy resolution? You're good.
Got to see the jet at an airshow yesterday. I fell in love every time it flew by. haha!

I used to have a lot of model jet fighters and played ace combat a lot.

Thanks.
You can check the other gun tutorials if you want a more in-depth look.

You are pretty good at explaining. I don't see why its so hard for some people.. but I guess everyone is different. :3

DAMN, SON.
The gun shapes are tricky at first, but once you get used to them, they aren't too troublesome. It's the gun detail that's a killer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
references are your friends. Gotcha, although i gotta admit, your pictures are so much more simpler then looking at the actual thing. It's "easier on the eyes"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good, 'cause I want to go for basics.
Hopefully, you'll be able to identify the right parts when looking at a real gun.

maybe i WILL do this tutorial... in the next 2 or 3 hours
