Shots from the sketch session. Many thanks to Shea Tillman for inviting us to Auburn.

Student Sketches

Continuing the Pimp Series, this was a sketch session that my friend Ben Thomas and I conducted at Auburn University on the 9th of Februrary. This was a sketch render that we generated in the realtime brainstorm/sketch/design session. There were a lot of great ideas and it was a great experience for Ben and myself. We will definitely be doing this more in the future.
If your school or firm would like to schedule a sketch seminar please send me an email.

I had a really great time at Auburn University this last weekend showing some sketch techniques to a really great group of ID students. It was one of the most fun presentations I have made in a while. I had intended on doing a demo of this sketch above, but we had to cut the presentation because of maintenance work that was being done in the building that we were not aware of while organizing the event.

Not entirely satisfied. but good enough for now

WIP

Rendering of the side view
Software: Linework in Rhino, render in Photoshop and Painter
Above is an intermediate step in Photoshop.

Just a small update. I am trying out a more sinuous set of graphic lines.

Great People I work with


Clint is a senior designer at CCi. He is the king of exploded sketches. Clint really likes to work with muscle cars, and his deep knowledge of mechanical components tanslates into his design work. You can check out more of his work at http://thackerydesign.blogspot.com/

The lithium launch is going gangbusters. This really was a great showcase for the power of industrial design.

Never trust a drawing from Illustrator:) I was working on this lacrosse stick concept using the 2009 official design guidelines. The form of the head was officially changed after numerous complaints that it was very difficult to knock balls out of the head. The new form was supposed to be more traditional, and create a more passing oriented game.However when I laid out the lines in CAD, the more modern lightbulb plan was immediately apparent. Go figure.

Quick concept. This will be done in t-splines and Rhino. I will record the sessions to put together a video tutorial.
