Tried my hand at solely using a sharpie for the line work. Finding it tough, hats off to Michael who seems to sketch this way in a lot of his work and get it spot on… The fumes are giving me headaches. Might have to see if the papermate flair gives off less of a pong
NICE! There’s a lot of character in that sketch. It looks like a coffee maker for sure, but what would additionally help is to doodle in a coffee cup. Can be on the product or on the table/ground. Gives context to the product and also helps visualize scale.
Great! I dig that yellow bold vertical accent, looks inviting and fun. I suggest working in a cast shadow next. It’s simple but helps give some weight/dimension to your concept. Over time of practicing with shadows, you’ll figure out how to make them work in your favor.
I tried to go with a self service petrol/gas station type of machine for this one (now i look at it, it kinda reminds me of an old arcade machine lol):
I started a sketchbook that i will use when I am out and about. No coffee shop sketches yet… just car park. Apologies as I am unable to scan these ones…
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!
