Happy Week Old! Day 7 - Mitsubishi iMiev

So I almost mis-spelled mieV... Oops. This was done within 45 minutes, still copied but with less copic detail. Even drawing this line by line, I still somehow skew the perspective. And the wheels?... Still, happy with the overall look. Still haven't tried to mix medias though I'm hopping the extra pop will come from that!

Found this car by googling "vroom car" just for kicks.

Car Week! Day 6 - Acura NSX

Not really a car nut but I do want draw my own concept cars some day! This is copied from an image I pulled typing car into google which turned out to be the NSX.

Taking a lot longer than my other sketches so far and with a shitty out of ink W5, I gave it a quick render. Difficult thing to establish when drawing a concept car from scratch for me is the perspective and all the details in the front and side of the car including the wheels! Damn I'm not a car person... Not yet!

Day 5 - Robotech

Anyone know where this is from? Thought my drawing today would come from my childhood. Ahh yes Robotech. One of the first animes I watched and probably the reason I like mechas, planes and transforming stuff. Well anywho I'm thinking of an entire picture for this and I only managed the line art. I hope I can return to this and work on it digitally.

If people don't think this counts as a a completed drawing then...




The shadow is a bit shitty but this was still copied but done within 20 minutes! Getting better. Maybe it is easy to skectch oh well!

Day 4 - Couldn't be Brothered

 

Almost forgot to do my sketch for today and nearing midnight I thought I'd just do an observational drawing. The good thing is that It was quick to do (for me quick was 30min) but more drawing will bring more pace and finesse. Seems like my rendering has remained the same, just some quick 3 tones used. Perhaps mixing medias next time for more effect. Anywho, done for the day!

Day 3 - A message of Love

 

Long overdue but I dedicated today to my girlfriend. A quick sketch and first time I've ever done a successful dog (she loves dogs). Just used pen and black pencil. Still lacking depth of tone but oh we'll let's see how I am in day 2 hundred something.

Day 2 - 360 Fold Out Solar Still Concept

 

My final uni project was quite ambitious that saw me centering around water and harnessing it for good. I went from researching household micro generators to be attached to water mains to the more sensible, solar still concepts for rural third world countries. I had gone through so many iterations that even my teacher had not seen the concept in my final presentation... And what a fail that concept was!

Any-who, this was me revisiting that path trying to redeem myself. This was inspired from a simple solar still that would stretch out into a larger container.


My concept works like a hand fan that stretches instead of 180 degrees, 360 degrees forming a full circle still.

Yeah I know! Far from any resolution I'm already asking

  • How does the user fill the vessel?
  • Can something like that be manufactured?
  • How does the user get to the clean water?
  • What about the cavities inside? How will it behave when folded in?
Who knows? But if I do have some time, i would lie to return and explore its potential or save me the effort and someone (an engineer perhaps) tell me that this concept is not viable.

Day 1 - Remote control Concept

A quick concept that inspired me because we are always losing the remote at our house.

Features

  • A remote with simple touchscreen capabilities. With accelerometer for any angle adaptability.
  • The remote runs on lith-ion batteries that can be charged by the dock in the TV
  • The remote can be lowered into the dock whilst charging
  • The key feature here is the ability to wirelessly find the remote by pressing the 'call button' on the TV set
