Looking For Feedback

Overall your sketches work, I like the scissors sketch, it is simple and communicative. The cut-section lines work very well if they are done precisely. Your designs are a bit generic, see if you can brainstorm a bit more and develop your own design language into the products you draw.

Your glass rendering needs work, start by studying the basics and drawing from perception. In reality, refractions behave quite differently and there is a logic to it enhancing the 3D-aspect of your drawings, if you can catch it.

So after coming back from vacation sketched bunch of shoes. The first shoe is inspired by one of the Adidas tennis shoes. The second and third ones are my ideation sketches.



These three are existing KEEN hiking shoes. My sketches are still evolving when it comes to my designs. This week I’m planning to have reference photos while sketching any product and I will try to come up with my own design.



Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the feedback. This week I’m planning to have reference photos while sketching any product and I will try to come up with my own design.

Hi Sumistha, I’m just getting caught up on your thread and it’s awesome to see hard work directly feed into your improvement! :slight_smile:

I especially enjoyed your USB stick sketches from 1/08/2018 because they were loose and explored some interesting forms which was an improvement on your previous USB stick sketches.

I had a small tip about this one. With your outlines, you’re communicating the form well with ridges. Similarly you could also follow through with this on the contour lines just to show that the surface isn’t flat. Here’s a quick overlay of what I was seeing.

Keep up the great work!

Hi Everyone,

It’s been long I haven’t posted anything. Hope all are doing good. Finally got a chance to scan all my sketches that I did over the summer. Practicing regularly and trying to get better. Would appreciate feedback on my sketches. Am I getting better or staying the same?

Thanks,
Sumi

good to see the volume of sketching you are doing! Your sketch style is effective. I think a little more focus on proportions would really help to push a lot of these further. Don’t be afraid to add some neatly written notes. For example that grey thing with a green blade, what does it do? Tell us or even better, show us :slight_smile: I’d like to see some of your forms be a bit more cohesive. On the bike helmet for example, it could be stronger if the vents related to one another. Think of the details as having a conversation with each other, or like they are singing in harmony.

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback “yo”.

I will add notes on my sketches from now on to communicate my ideas better.
