Life Drawing and Conceptual Work 2010-2011

Works from various life drawing sessions, and a bit of conceptual work for this blog update. Most of these are 2010-2011 pieces, but this is the first I've shared of them.

Hover Bike

Progress on the hover bike concept from the loose sketch. Working on transferring orthographic side views into the front and top footprint views in preparation for perspective. Really excited about this process!

Here's the original loose sketch.

And these I've taken the design further

Aero Reference and Construction

Aeroplanes! Drawn from reference and construction. Some from Scott Robertson's book, and the engines are from The Lore of Flight book that my Dad gifted me (it's super cool).

Paper Plane

Paper plane prep.

Constructing a grid

Fun with engines

Two from SC's book, one random one of my own

Full tutorial from the book. This one I'm going to have to attempt again, as it was a bit challenging. Super fun though!

Also took some great reference at the airshow. Here are just a few of those shots.

Volumes, Plants and Random

Here's some more workings from Scott Robertson HowToDraw book. Having fun learning how to work with complex volumes, mirroring and the like.

My own concept for a hover vehicle

Ant Man? Some times I just draw really random

odd ball things. This is such a case.



I got this really cool book entitled Designs of Nature,

from which I drew these items. I'm looking forward to drawing

from this book a bit more in the future. It serves as a nice juxtaposition

to the more solid surface form building that I've been doing.

Auto Side Orthos

Fun with drawing fairly loose car orthographics this week. I especially enjoyed how the the dune buggies came out! :)

Greetings!
It's been awhile, hasn't it? Here's an update with some of the sketches I've been doing. Some fun one's in there, also be sure to check out the Mech design sketch I drew after Lamb Chamberlin's awesome work! Thanks for stopping by :)
