Okay, seriously — last time with the drill. Â This is the final assignment for the class I’m in. Â Two orthographic sketches, plus one perspective sketch that’s then painted in Photoshop.
Oh, and hey, Hollywood — get to work on the “Firestorm” action trilogy. Â I’ve delivered the titles, now just get one of your typewriter monkeys to churn out a script or two.

Went to John Beck’s studio tonight for some filming for “Tyranny.” Amidst all the crazy stuff in his place (galvanometers, saxophones, maritime pulleys, you name it…) I spotted this model truck sitting on a shelf. Fit in this quick sketch during breaks in shooting.

For my last assignment in this class, I’m returning to the drill from sketch #11. Â This one is just a simple line drawing at the moment, because it’s going to be given a Photoshop paint job. Â Also, I’m including the exploded view with arrow to indicate the detachable chuck feature.

I think my sister-in-law was getting tired of all the boring cones and cylinders. Â So she challenged me to do something a little more involved for the last of the Palm Springs product sketches. Â Pretty happy with the shading of this, though I realized when I finished that the proportions are kind of off. Â There’s no way for a coffeemaker with that small a reservoir to fill a pot that size. Â Oh well. Â Pretend you didn’t notice that.

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).

…but if there’s a way to do it, Ben Orchard would probably know.

Went for a walk to find something to draw. Â This inspiring piece was the winner.
