Design Theory: Shape Appeal

In this video series, I ponder the theoretical side of design to determine the best methods for creating things that are appealing and unique. I'll deal with all aspects of the idea creating process and share potential tricks and tips that will make it easier for you.

Episode 4 is about Shape Appeal. The abstract qualities that make certain forms and shapes more pleasing to look at than others.

i always love how his little intro thing is so edgy and ominous and then he's just a cheerful kinda shy guy

[PizzaNuggetPie]

"So, how are you shapes so good and flow-y?"


*"Well, Ya See, I Just Imagine People Burning To Death In A Building First-"*

I feel like Sinix is the college class of YouTube art tutorials. They are high skill and they are SO helpful for intermediate and even advanced artists.

That one dislike is from ethan for disrespecting his dog🤣

I've been making art seriously for 10 years and this is the first time that I finally understand what looks good. This 12 minute video just unlocked something in my brain and I am so thankful

For anyone who wants to watch this subject from different artists, try to watch Marco Bucci's 10 minutes to better painting

It's such a day-brightener to see a new Sinix video in my feed :D <3

[AntaresValdemar]

Sinix: "I know most of you aren't into industrial design..."
Me: "IGNORE THOSE FOOLS, TEACH ME MORE ABOUT MECHS DAMMIT"

[hieunguyenminh]

For future me: "Stop watching this again and again for hundred times!!"

I just realized after 3 years how important shapes are and you can use it anywhere to make anything good!, 10.3.2020

I've never imagined there are people teaching these stuffs in youtube or even in a skool. I've never expected people would have lean these kind of matters as come across or passing by.
And who is this Sinix guy?. REALLy appropriate this video and how curious it's that that he broke down the matters into I barely understood less than a half of the language though, future me should comes and watch again and again. RESPect!

This is a very unique drawing theory video. I've never seen anyone talk about organic vs inorganic shapes. The closest I can think of is "the flow" of the shape theory, but it's not the same. Also, the fact that drawing should be intuitive is very inspiring and eye-opening to me. Thank you for this tutorial, Sinix! Very informative.

It's great, it solved a problem that I couldn't figure out recently! Thank you, teacher。

[juliansanchez]

Dude, this just changed me A LOT, thanks!

[theshrubbery]

Sinix you are an absolutely amazing teacher. This video has helped me a lot to articulate ideas I was already having for a while but not able to turn into words. The part where you speak of intuition was really eye opening as well, and it feels great to be empowered by the knowledge that my brain HAS VALUE and brings something to the table. In other words, art isn't only about learning and grinding, but to express something which we already all have inside of us.

You know, this may be odd, but whenever I hear you speak, it sounds you're smiling. How nice :)

I’ve been really struggling with this exact thing!! This is so incredibly helpful... I was really struggling with getting a message across in a piece, and I had no idea how much shape design could influence that. Thank you!

"I know a lot of you aren't into industrial design" I for one love industrial design and would love if u went into more videos in that sorta perspective

[masterklep]

Finally someone could explain it to me as simple as I could understand it! Even though it's not my native language, everything is so clear! I just want to thank you! 🙏💖
