Looking For Feedback

So after coming back from vacation sketched bunch of shoes. The first shoe is inspired by one of the Adidas tennis shoes. The second and third ones are my ideation sketches.



These three are existing KEEN hiking shoes. My sketches are still evolving when it comes to my designs. This week I’m planning to have reference photos while sketching any product and I will try to come up with my own design.



Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the feedback. This week I’m planning to have reference photos while sketching any product and I will try to come up with my own design.

Hi Sumistha, I’m just getting caught up on your thread and it’s awesome to see hard work directly feed into your improvement! :slight_smile:

I especially enjoyed your USB stick sketches from 1/08/2018 because they were loose and explored some interesting forms which was an improvement on your previous USB stick sketches.

I had a small tip about this one. With your outlines, you’re communicating the form well with ridges. Similarly you could also follow through with this on the contour lines just to show that the surface isn’t flat. Here’s a quick overlay of what I was seeing.

Keep up the great work!
Gerry

Hi Everyone,

It’s been long I haven’t posted anything. Hope all are doing good. Finally got a chance to scan all my sketches that I did over the summer. Practicing regularly and trying to get better. Would appreciate feedback on my sketches. Am I getting better or staying the same?

Thanks,
Sumi

good to see the volume of sketching you are doing! Your sketch style is effective. I think a little more focus on proportions would really help to push a lot of these further. Don’t be afraid to add some neatly written notes. For example that grey thing with a green blade, what does it do? Tell us or even better, show us :slight_smile: I’d like to see some of your forms be a bit more cohesive. On the bike helmet for example, it could be stronger if the vents related to one another. Think of the details as having a conversation with each other, or like they are singing in harmony.

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback “yo”.

I will add notes on my sketches from now on to communicate my ideas better.

These two sketches I did before reading YO’s comment so couldn’t add any notes.
Also sorry for not able to scan my sketches because I am traveling so don’t have any access to scanner.

Hi Gerry,
Sorry for this late reply and thank you for your feedback.

I will try to add more prominent contour lines on my sketches to comunicate better.

Thanks,
Sumi
