Video: Primitive CombinationsSometimes you need to sketch something more complicated, but where do you start? I put together this video in response to a question from RIckard who emailed me via the questions email address.
“Hi, I am an Induatrial design student who would love to see a tutorial on how to apply marker to more complex shapes like cylinder combo with a sphere or something similar….
Over and out”
Here’s the response -
Updated – erik (a commenter) pointed out a silly oversight on my part. The demo version is correct in certain cases based on material finish, but I’m uploading a new video later today with the corrected method, along with part two of the video series. Thanks erik!

Hey, nice stuff. But one thing. When you drew the sphere and the cylinder separately you made the highlight on the sphere an ellipse, but on the combination of the two you made the hight light “follow a section in the sphere”, a curved line instead of an ellipse. Shouldn’t the hight light be more like this: http://grab.by/17Yt (quick sketch to illustrate, only had a camera to digitalise it with)
By the way, thanks for the work you put into this page. I’m learning loads from you guys
What color of Prisma pencils are you using in this video?
Black Prismacolor Pencils.
Well, what fun would life be without rules to brake, right?
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions, Spencer. Your tutorials have helped me so much.
Glad to help!
Thanks for making videos!
I needed a review of the basics again haha. Thanks for the cardboard ruler tip! I was trying to figure out what to do next, since plastic rulers ruined everything I draw lol
