Sketches 71 - 101

For my final set of images, I tried to experiment with warping shapes more spontaneously to add to the already given set of objects. I also tried to use different colours to test their impact on my designs. Overall I am satisfied with this set of images as they all look significant toward one another.

Sketches 46 - 70

With this set of sketches, I tried to create a selection of structures by using less detail and making the structures more distinct. I also tried to use elements within my work such as feathers and chains to give my drawings more character. I think that the work that I have produced in pencil looks more intricate due to the different tones and details shown

Sketches 13 - 24

With the second set of sketches, I tried to use a slightly less practical approach when creating them. Along with using influences from plants and wildlife for lifeforms, I wanted to use influences from technology to test how well I could blend our given objects with more contrasting ideas. Overall, I like the fact that the different colours I used balance out the different viewpoints, but if I were to improve it I would try to embellish my drawings more by adding more small details to them.

Sketches 25 - 45

I think that this set of sketches looks the most original out of the other ones that I created. This is due to the fact that I didn't try to use any other sources for inspiration. In the end I tried to combine different elements of our given objects together to try and work on simply using my imagination. Overall, I unfortunately think that this is my weakest set of sketches due to the fact that I think you can't tell whether most of the sketches are life forms, structures or machines. I would want to improve these sketches by being more selective and conscientious on what elements of the objects to combine with one another, as I think that approach would enable the final designs to look more valid.

Sketches 1 - 12

For the first set of sketches for the Summer Project, I wanted to draw a more elaborate set of sketches to demonstrate my skills to my Course Leader, Phil Gomm. I tried to use various drawing materials to complete them because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and test whether I could display the same skills using different materials. I can honestly say that I am happiest with this set of sketches out of the 101, because I think they are of a higher quality than the others When I first attempted drawing I found it easier to sketch life forms. I think that using the influence of life forms is easier because when exploring that subject, there is a distinct range of examples to use such as animals, plants etc.

This is the first of the three final designs to conclude the Summer Project. It is a life form of an Octopus and I took inspiration from the round vase-like object. Overall, I am very pleased with the result as I like the variations in the different tones and details. I am also happy with the over exaggerated features as they make the design more complex. I am also satisfied with the fact that the design is able to look like an exact life form - which is the octopus.
