Rough Concept Sketches and Building Studies

Nintendo Logo Redisign Sketches

Nintendo Logo Sketches

For an assignment I'm creating a logo for Nintendo, in the past they have used the name with an oval around it. These are rough sketches. I really want to focus on the characters and history and I will, but I was advised to focus more on abstract images rather then literal ones.

I draw when I take notes

Various doodles and sketches

A lot of times during meetings I'll be doodling or sketching some random character.

Watership Down Rabbit Sketches

Meeting Product Demand Illustration

This is the Illustration Project that I am working on right now, we have to pick from 5 different abstract business phrases and illustrate it using nature. I choose "Meeting Product Demand". I decided to have a line of factory squirrels walking on a branch to drop nuts into a tree hole with a head squirrel over seeing them and the nuts travel to the bottom of the tree and to a huge stockpile. Another head squirrel is then selling the nuts to other animals for money or other goods. I created a side view, birds eye view and a worms eye view. Everyone seemed to like the Birds eye view and I agree with them.

Electronic Skin Tattoo

This Fall I am taking both Graphic Design and Illustration at the University of Southern California Northridge (CSUN). This is the first project that I just turned in along with all of the thumbnails and other process sketches. We had to read this article about Electronic Skin Tattoos and do an illustration on it. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.6e1e2ad90e2d94b12b6258b7e9c5b33d.611

I started out with the more scary aspect of it focusing on the Fringe Science aspect, I also had one with a tattoo artist putting an Electronic Skin Tattoo on a girl, plus a Propaganda poster.



These proved to be the wrong road so I want with a doctor, a spy and a gamer. I also tried to further the monster/Fringe science aspect with my own creature. The instructor suggested that I focus on just the spy and have an eye or ear that is communicating with the spy's Electronic tattoo.

Electronic Skin Tattoo

So I tried all sorts of variations on the eye and ear.





When I got to the Adobe Illustrator phase I kept knocked it out and was pleased with it, but the instructor kept pushing me to improve on it, which was really great.

Very Rough Sketch from the Santa Barbara Beach

Bullets and Broken Hearts Roughs

These are some really rough sketches that I made to play with ideas for the Bullets illustration. I really like this poster idea, but it didn't emphasize Fauxlivia like the one that I went with.
