Messed up a few things here — like the handle, and its shadow that shouldn’t actually be visible.  But the rest of the shape reads pretty well.  Still doing more simple product shapes for class.  Actually, this mid-century-modern vacation home in Palm Springs is full of cool, simply shaped, modernist lamps, furniture, etc.  Good place to be working on this kind of assignment.

In Palm Springs this week for a little family vacation. Â Basically eating, drinking, swimming and sketching. Â I have to do several of these product sketches for class this week, so I’ll get in plenty of marker practice.

Sketched these in class tonight. Â Asked the instructor for any recommendations. Â He said, “Yeah, you went past the center line on this lamp shade. Â Unforgivable, dude. Â Look at this — this is impossible. Â You see? Â It doesn’t work. Â And this over here wouldn’t look like that. Â There would be more light right here. Â Good though.” Â I like this guy.

Was too busy tonight doing classwork to fit in anything else. Â So here’s the rest of the collection of random shape models. Â Inspiring stuff, eh? Â At least I’m getting a little more practice laying down marker ink.

My markers were getting away from me a little. Â This is part of another class assignment, practicing perspective and modeling with simple, invented shapes. Â I’m supposed to do several more of these (which is probably good, since I’m obviously kind of a noob with the Copic markers).
