Further Sketching

Here is a continuation of the same sketching method as in the post below.
The keys show here are a good example of what a quick sketch can show the person a designer is working for in only a few minutes to help them visualize what the designer has in mind.

Sketching


This sketch of a peach was done with the same sketching technique as the rendering below, but left as clean sketch with out color.
The purpose was to improve the quickness of sketching while studying texture and light at the same time. The goal was to show texture and depth with very simple elements, just line and dots. This sketch while showing the fruit well in shape, does not give the level of dimension it should.

Object Sketch 1



This sketch of an interior object is rendered in the technique taught by the WSU interior design program. I really enjoy this technique of rendering, which starts with with a quick pencil sketch, and is bought to life with colored pencils and markers. It is a quick method with a pleasing result for the time put into it.

Textile Design


This textile was created completely in Photoshop by altering images and colors that relate to my heritage.
This textile design was generated by two cultural heritages; Danish and English. The flags of these two nations provided inspiration through their similarities in color and the central cross shape on each.
The Danish flag is very simple in design, with a red background and white cross running sideways. This simplicity is emulated in the basic cross structure pattern in this textile. The English flag provided the same cross shape design, with the addition of the color blue. Also incorporated above, is the crest of the British monarchy in each arm of the cross. The addition of "yellow" borders was to provides color interest and a
allude to classic Scandinavian design color schemes.
