I really enjoyed this weeks topic for Sketchwars. Considering whats been going on, the topic has been gas masks. For a while, I had an idea about creating some sort of mask based off a CPU heatsink. I was influenced by my Noctua CPU fan, Banes mask from Batman, and a dash of Star Wars. The result is a something thats a little sinister and aggressive.
Sketchwars chess pieces
A few weeks ago one of the challenges for Sketchwars was to draw chess pieces. I submitted two entries. A digital knight sketch and a good old fashioned ideation page.
Rayguns!
After winning last weeks Sketchwars, I was allowed to choose the topic for this week. For this week, I wanted to re-live a fun project from Soulcake times with rayguns. It was a great excuse to be fun and loose. With rayguns, you can explore form, color and materials.
Lately, I haven't been hand sketching as much. I thought this project would be a good way to practice form exploration and to feel comfortable sketching with pen. It was a lot of fun to create nice pen drawings and to color with the computer. As a designer, I feel that I should still feel comfortable sketching with traditional media. I should be less afraid to be loose.
