ID3 Final Progress Sneak Peak


Here is a sneak peak from my final. I took a photo of this so that I could print it out to draw over a copy to get an idea of parts to be shown in the exploded view. This was done using Prismacolor Markers, Verathin, and Color Pencil plus a mesh texture to draw over. I'll see what my instructor has to say and if anything needs to be changed for the Final. There are several parts to this assignment so more to come soon!

Updated ID3 Work




Finally able to take some time to post these up. This a compilation of the past few classes. Above are the 4 exploded views of a Kensington mouse that I had to do in two days. Being sick on one day I ended up jamming 3 of these in a day. If given more time with better health I could have gotten a better result.


These above were an assignment for trying out some Canson toned paper. The fourth page on black and on gray was whatever we wanted to do so I did a jockey riding a robo racing greyhound! I particularly like this sketch.

Above was an experiment with reflective surfaces hence our class having to go back to cubic forms. The helicopter was a Scott Robertson mastercopy to learn how he draws and the two jets to the side are speed forms based off of an F22. So much fun drawing things like the speed forms!
Above was an assigment of speed forms (things that look fast while standing still). Granted, not all of mine look super speedy, but like my instructor said, they do have character. And as an illustrator I believe that to be just as equally important. These were a lot of fun to make.


Lastly are some experiments with pastel and webril pads to create chrome. We had to make flashlights and thermoses. Number 6 of the flashlights kind of looks torch-like to me. Gotta watch where you point your 'torch.' Oh British jokes... Anyway, hope you like it. More to come (working on my final right now- three parts)...

More IDS3 work


Not the best photos (I need a better camera), but here are some more freehand perspective drawings from my Industrial Design Drawing 3 class. Top are computer mice and bottom are some pencil sharpeners.

Beginning to burn through the pages

Here is a sample of some of the homework that I'm doing this semester. I was gone in Palm Springs last weekend and had to quickly make-up homework so I essentially had to do 40 pages plus one reworked design of a pro in 2 days! These are all free hand perspective sketches in ink of CPUs for my Industrial Design Drawing 3 class. I've been drawing so much straight lines and more that I've literally lost sensation in the tip of one of my fingers. I killed the nerve endings just from drawing too much. :/ Anyway, hopefully there will be more to come. Back to work...

Lego Thunderbird (in Progress #2)




Finally decided to upload these pictures. Summer semester has started and I'm watching as all my time just evaporates from the intense work load.
The Thunderbird Lego jet is still in progress. I thought I could finish it, but there is still much to be done on the hull and undercarriage, the multitude of nukes, torpedoes, bullets, and missiles and finishing the turbine portions of the engines. But so far, it is somewhere over 25 lbs, over 4 ft long, over 3 wide and over 2 high. It is now larger than most kids who build with Legos- (one of my goals achieved! :P ). In the first photo, again, another size comparison as well as you can see a white Lego frame built. It is there temporarily so that I don't knock it over when adding pieces.
So, until I return back to Iowa for another break, the Thunderbird will just have to wait for another time to be completed!

Dashboard for Saratoga Space Fighter


Suprisingly, I finished this quite quickly. Started it last night with the line in about 2 1/2 hours and then did the painting in the 3 hours of class today. Good thing, though, as now it makes just 1 illustration left for one of my classes.
