DAY 3 - Fat Water Bottles
After a break from sketching all weekend (to finish my first ID project for presentation!), I’m struggling to find my usual flow. My hands feel tight and these sketches reflect that.
I tried to improve upon the ergonomics of ‘fat’, 1L water bottles like my favorite Nalgene. I dedicated myself to starting in pen and being more deliberate with my lines, which was difficult for me. I think I may revisit this exercise when I don’t feel so stiff, because these designs feel a bit lackluster and I think a second try would yield better results.
I also switched to a Papermate Flair pen I found abandoned in my studio rather than my usual Microns, and I’m very happy with it. It makes it easier to pull long, purposeful strokes out of my sketches.
