Andy's "Sketch-a-few times a week"

Loose bedtime scribbles of whiskey bottles. I woke up this morning thinking about square to round surface transitions :laughing:

I’d love to see you take on something more organic in form language.

Definitely something I need to work on. I think that a bike helmet would be a good and challenging way to push my skillset.

Maybe I should start drawing cars to speed up the process, I would struggle to do it right now!

I think the linework here looks almost like an illustrator vector, too perfectly consistent.
Personally I like sketchy lines where you can see the direction of the stroke. (more energy, more dynamic)

I think your trash can sketches on paper had better linework.
Lately I experimented with analog linework, scan it, and shade/color in photoshop maybe you could try that?

Looking at some of your previous digital sketches here before the “rubbish bin”, I think I like that looseness better!

Thanks for the feedback Tommy, though I also prefer the looser sketches, I like to try something new every so often to see how it looks.

I sketched out a rough helmet over the weekend. It’s a messy blocked up form at the moment, and I think that the angle could be a lot better, but I’m going to refine it over the week.


I also tried to sketch out a car, and after a few tries with not much progress, I decided to trace over one to pick out which lines would make the most difference to communicating the form:

Today’s sketch…what if a smart home device could grow herbs, or could be used to store coffee pods for recycling? Thinking about sustainability for this quick one:

Matte black mtb goggles with fire iridium lens

that is getting there, maybe not the most informed view for goggles, but a little more dynamic.

I’d like to see you get a little more expressive like some of these… and then take it a little tighter like this last one.

NOTE: none of these are mine. I googled “goggle concept sketch” and these were some of the first ones that popped up.

Thanks Yo. That last digital one is a skill level that I’d like to achieve.

I sketched out some goggles this evening with a goal of being more expressive. I think I’m too stiff with these ones, as well as lacking any real form exploration. The line work could also be a lot cleaner. I’ll do some more tomorrow and try to fix up some of the things I feel could be improved.

Warm up drawing this sharpie from this morning

The leather soles of my boots are worn out, which got me thinking about whether to replace them with leather rubber or not.

Here’s a leather top chukka crossed with a free run rubber sole

Thinking about mice with a soft rest for my wrist to sit on for those long cad sessions


Moving my mouse ideation into a more refined concept. Felt covered rear, abs front and base with a smooth touch scroller.

Sketching some hands today

Sunday night nerf scribbles

Nerf and if nerf went semi stealth


I’ve been a bit slow on the sketching as I’m working on my portfolio :smiley: I got colourful yesterday with some simple squeeze bottles for kids sport.
