Something I still haven't figured out how to manage working in digital is the lack of textural feel between pencil and surface. It is a little strange and difficult still to control strokes without this feedback. Here is an iPad Pro warmup in Procreate...you'll see my warmup lines and ellipses at the beginning...they are still all wonky

Today, I warmed up with a set of kitchen utensils. You can see the process in the video

In progress Bluetooth Speaker with removable silicon protective cover. Always a fun challenge to render a semi transparent material. Next step has been to create a detail view of the speaker out of its bump guard...still undecided about how I am going to finish this out. Perhaps with some orthographic line drawings of top, front, side views, along with more fiskars brand linkage and use case info. Well, with some orthos added I can see I still have plenty of work to make this

This is actually an old drawing. But I think it can allow me to make a point. It is a marker and pencil sketch. You can see how I actually spread my work across a few pages. I f'd up some marker work (we can't all be Spencer Nugents and hit the thing the first time) and so began anew and ultimately put it all together in Photoshop...sacrilege, I know...Many people still cling to marker drawing on paper as an industry standard. While it is doable, I find it much less interesti

And then there are those times when you should stop rendering...but you just keep going...cause, plywood headphones

If you were asked to name an unsexy object, you might call out a handheld scanner. For some reason I blocked in a concept for one today. I was thinking about research this morning and was reminded how awkward it can be to track citations of text. Sure, it is easy enough in the digital realm, but much of what we still read is in actual paper based journals and books. Until Google finishes digitizing the world, we sure could use a good handheld scanner, purpose build for scanni

I've done plenty of drawing in my life, but I as I push further into the world of Industrial Design, I find the style of drawing communication to be slightly vexing. It goes partially against some of what I have learned about accurate representational work. It requires more exaggeration. I am accustomed to trying to achieve subtlety. But, when researching ID drawing, many of the best artists out there, seem to be in love with making a thing "pop"...eh...I think "popping" has
