random sketching and drawing

 Some random sketching and drawing I did, I don't usually use color but I felt I could try for this.

 A fist sketch I did on some lined paper.

 The sketch on the right is the first sketch I did of the series, the one on the right is after processing it in photoshop to clean it up.

And here are two variants of it with different colors, all done by pencil and colored pencil.













The four last drawings took some inspiration from here: http://www.zerochan.net/1289632

Bolt-action SIM card changer.

    This idea stemmed from a conversation I was having with some friends on a boring Monday afternoon. We were talking about how stores always get prank calls and that the solution would be that stores could have a phone that blocks your number after a certain amount of calls in a given time period, and that an effective counter would be to change your SIM card and thus your number after each call. As you may know, changing a SIM card is long and impractical, requiring to take out the phones battery, slide the card out and put the new one in.
    Thus I present you the bolt-action, clip fed SIM card changer. It is an add-on to a phone that is inserted in the space normally reserved for the battery and SIM card. It holds those two elements separately and allows the battery to be placed elsewhere making space for the rest of the system.

 The red tone coveys a sentiment of anger.

 In this picture the character has a cetrall position flanked by two dark zones driving a sense of mystery.

In this one the character is standing over the observer giving the character a dominant position, the dark surrounding him enhance the focus on him, this conveys either a sens of aggressiveness or security depending on context.

This is the poster I used as a source of inspiration. Analysis of the original poster:

Some pictures and code of the processing sketching I used for the final poster:

Some sketching done for this project:

I managed to have a fairly defined concept early on.

Theses are the final three iterations, only the final one is colored as the coloring is a very long process:

The main thing I was looking for with the different iterations was how to fill the space and in the end I decided to mix the two first iterations.

DSDN142: Final sketches

DSDN142 Lab1: procedural sketches

 This first sketch replicates the final drawings obtained by Vera Molnar using her procedural method of drawing (http://www.atariarchives.org/artist/sec11.php)

 This drawing was made by following the instructions given by Sol Lewitt (http://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/themes/conceptual-art/sol-lewitt-and-instruction-based-art), the filling for each square was determined randomly from the four choices given.

This drawing was done using the instructions and examples given by Edward Zajec (http://www.atariarchives.org/artist/sec16.php).
