Not been doing shoes lately. So came up with this exercise the other day.

Will do one thumbnail sketch of a shoe under 5 mins. Atleast 5 everyday. Period.

Here is sheet 1 in progress

Nice sketch page.

Churned out another one. Now got to get back to work. Have to do a briefing presentation tomorrow. Good night sketchaholics!


Haven’t contributed to this thread in years. Just got a new iPad and love it… Been into skate shoes lately.

Nice! One of the cleaner iPad sketches I’ve seen.

very nice Phil!

Thats one clean sketch Phil. Hard to believe that its from an iPad but I do :wink:

Here is a warm up page where I tried doing one thumbnail sketch every 5 minutes.

Nice page Viper. Thanks everyone for the comments.
Another fun iPad sketch today… Always thought a Zoom Safari concept would be fitting for a cross country racing spike…

definitely a good theme for an xc spike!

Viperoshanali:

I like your design, that gives a dynamic element to the shoe. The sketch is beautiful and natural. Is adidas?

Hi All,
This is my first post here. I just recently turned my attention towards designing footwear and here are 20 teaser examples of my quick “upper” sketches. These are of course developed with different tools than traditional media sketches but due to the speed with which I can generate them and the loose gestural nature they end up having they are technically just “sketches.” Used as a means to stimulate new aesthetic directions I think they are pretty fun. So fun in fact that I did 700+ of them last week.

i think that’s Scott Robertson ya’ll!!! Oh snap!!! Yo Scott those sketches r sweet…is that modo ur using? like in the space suits…

Thee are really cool, Can totally see how explorations like these could help spark some crazy new concepts.
