Yo! 2017 sketch a day

Been slacking this week. Concepting on a big new client project has had me working in the studio every night. A little doodle while on the phone though.

Sunday sketch.

I wish all houses could be built into cliffs!

Nice!

I think its pretty amazing that you’ve pumped out so many awesome sketches this year.

Thanks Andy… I think it is going to make a great book. John Hoke, SVP of design at Nike, has generously agreed to write the forward!

Core doesn’t have a thumbs up emoji, but that deserves one! Looking forwards to seeing it when it’s all finished :smiley:

we’ve talked about adding that … for now we have to do it the old fashioned way with a comment :laughing:

some demo sketches I did for my students today.



Very inspiring. Love the bike sketch! Love the others as well

thanks 250! On days I teach is helps me get ahead on my sketch count :slight_smile:

trying out a different style. When I first graduated from school in the 90s I would sketch almost exclusively with colored pencil (then marker on top)


one more sketch to close out the weekend. Sketch #336

Pencil demo for my students.

Playing with a different style

I like it!

Thanks man. Here is a play by play and one step further





the new Aston Martin Vantage has been a favorite topic of debate amongst designers and car aficionados. Some people love its more race inspired aesthetic, others feel it has perhaps lost some of its elegance. I decided it would be worth taking the design out for a spin myself.

In this video I use a technique I often use when ideating on client projects. Using a photo or previous sketch, I create a set of ellipses in perspective in Adobe Illustrator. I’ll then print out 20 of these so I can quickly generate a series of concepts in the same perspective without worrying about the wheels.

Cool technique. Definitely will try this.

As for the new AM Official Design, I’m definitely in the “too boy racer” camp…

Me too Richard. I’d rather have a used gen 1 Vantage any day… the interior is an even bigger miss for me.

New Ford something looks more like an Aston than an Aston these days…

I’ll take a DB5. Thanks.
