But this is the stuff I draw. Industrial Design major = boatloads of concept sketches and renders. As I've stated before, I can't draw characters or emotions or abstract things worth a damn, but sit me down with some pens and I'll crank some orthos and perspective drawings of whatever you want.

So, anyone wanna trade me their comic art skills for my technical drawing skills?

Also, if you ever need a simple concept sketch I'm always down for some practice.


Cranked these out last night:


A toy camera I did over the summer that turned out alright:


Some other random thing:



I've never really gotten a 3rd party unbiased opinion of my work, so whaddya think?

Would you hire me to design things?

For the most part, these are really nice. I will admit there were some minor issues with proportions, but otherwise, they are close to perfect.

And although I don't normally need to many things designed, I don't see why I wouldn't hire you. Everything seems to be done quite well.

I agree with Meowth to a great extent, however in the last drawing of the 'Heating Undergarment' the person demonstrating wearing it is shaded weird. It's as if he has a dim light source directly in front of him, yet I see no such object. The guitar drawings on the other hand are magnificent, in addition to the awesome camera, you are an incredibly skillful artist.

Haha thanks, but trust me, there are far more skilled people in my class alone.

As far as the jacket thing, I did a whole series of sketches for that project, and the first one I shaded oddly, so I just rolled with it for the rest of em.

I've since taken a class on professional rendering (wherein I drew that camera) and learned a lot about coloring and shading. Looking back on that drawing now I kinda laugh a little, but I still like how it turned out.

and in case it wasn't made obvious already, I fucking love chartreuse

I'm no good at giving criticisms about shading and stuff, but that camera is amazing. Whenever I try to do shadows I tend to screw up, but it looks like you pretty much nailed it in that picture.

The body heating system is good, but it lacks in something important when you are buried in snow.... YOU CAN'T BREATHE!!

So, it lacks of some sort of oxygen or respirator system
