I love seeing so much improvement in your work. Definitely photoshop photos of your sketch pages. You can take the saturation down to 0 as well which will help when using levels.
Just one designer’s take. I tend to like to group things into as few elements as possible. So all the controls are at the top (I was indicated a touch screen there and just one or two physical buttons. The drip tray part break relates very much to the form to visually eliminate a line again. The cup dispenser I just didn’t think it needed the extra complication. Most gas stations have those dispenser things built into the counter or racks on the counter. This way it would be conceivable easier to gang 3 or 4 of these in a row as well. But I didn’t put too much thought into it. If I was doing this as project this would be an area of investigation of course.
Not too pleased with the outcome on this but spent had too many attempts at this one now. Trying to draw all the ellipses without screwing up too much is definitely a challenge… It seems with me the more I want it to be right the worse the outcome hehe… Anyways I think its time for another topic
Elipses in perspective are difficult… thrown in off axis eclipses in perspective and you have a real challenge! Don’t beat yourself up, that is a tough one to pull off!
Probably not going to be posting much now until after Christmas. Still sketching but I have a family portrait to complete before the 24th so that is going to take up most of my free time no doubt. Merry Christmas all
Post the portrait as well! Working on other things always helps your sketching.
One of the things that helped my sketching the most when I was a young designer was making models. At the firm I worked for junior designers often made the models for senior designers. Making models of other people’s sketches improved my sketching so much. I understood the purpose of the sketch more deeply and so adjusted my “style” to be less “fancy” and more about communication of intent.
Probably not going to be posting much for the next month or 2 as my schedule has become really tight due to work commitments as well as other things. Hopefully be back up and running sooner rather than later! Still gonna try and sketch where time permits.
250gb I’d challenge you to try sketching in 5 minutes.
That’s a good quote yo. I have been trying cutting back on my usage of “trying” when I communicate my intentions to others… I noticed it makes me sound and become more confident. A little mental trick.
I plan to get started in some digital work to polish my future sketches. Any recommendations? Wondering whether to dive in on a 13 inch cintiq or take smaller steps with an intuos pro?
