Yeah I didn't really get far into thought process...

Just sketching...

Helpful tip for ya...invest in a scanner! I bough mine for 30$ off ebay. It'll be easier to adjust the lighting effects and such as well.

NICE Archie! What type of tablet are you using for those sketches?

 

[juanp]

archiebolz: that looks cool.....what's it for?

 

[jordan supreme]

archiebolz that's a pretty crazy shoe... good look

 

[archiebolz]

hey guys!

@ben
-thanks! I'm using Bamboo Fun.. I can't seem to find other types of Wacom here...

@JuanP
-I'm thinking lightweight all-around shoe... Basketball, boxing, etc. anything needing a performance shoe, my concept is something that should wrap aroundyour feet and ankle, like some kind of overgrowth.

@Jordan
thanks!

Class sketch with a lil PS

Austin: You're definitely improving. Proportions look good on that. I like what you were thinking with the lateral support structure on the side, althoughI think it might make the shoe a bit too heavy. Color scheme and inspiration are cool too.

I'd try straying away from the tile and rock texture you've been using though. I think it's taking away from your otherwise good renderings. Shoesdon't often utilize material like that, so it doesn't look very realistic. Try experimenting with making your own leather texture in illustrator. Or inPS, you can select the area you want to look like leather, and then do "Past into", and fill the area with a leather texture. Then you can play withthe opacity of the leather texture to get it where you want it.

Here's a leather texture that I've found to be pretty good for PS:

[1ofthesedaze]

Haven't posted in a while but I did a little sketching today. I think the inverted version is pretty cool too...

Nice forms Archie. I'd loved to see a rendering of that.
