Days 8 & 9

Drawing and rapid ideation with Eric Anderson. Working towards building models over the weekend. Nice to get a pencil back in my hand. Eric also showed us his tablet PC, and I have to admit that if Apple starts making a tablet I’ll be saving my pennies to be first in line to buy one.

Some drawing lessons:

• Prisma pencils work so much better than graphite because they don’t smear.
• Start light! I’ve known this since middle school, but drawing light keeps you light on your feet and lets you move between ideas so much faster than heavy lines.
• Don’t worry about erasing, just keep drawing. When things get to messy start another sheet and trace what you’ve done.
• Drawing should “communicate effectively and efficiently”. Amen.

Note: Posts with images should return soon.
