Mr. Imagination…

nfinlay — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:46:48 +0000

These videos are a bit idealistic…and sales driven. But there are some great points and reminders on how to design products with sustainability in mind.( It’s nice exciting to see more companies focus on this.) However, im ultimately posting them for the sketches. “Mr. Imagination” does a pretty good job about communicating complex ideas with simple visual elements. (portfolio fodder!)

IDSKETCHING.COM: Camera Sketch Part 2 from Industrial Design Sketching on Vimeo.

In part two of the camera sketch series, we go over pencil sketch, layout, notes, and marker application to finish things off. I know guys. This took a while to get up here, but I finally got around to getting the audio all done.

For reference, here’s part one of the video -

Video: Part 1 of camera sketch – roughing it out

Spencer Nugent — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 03:55:57 +0000

I know, I know. It’s been a while right? No videos, no updates etc etc. I’ve had my hands in a few things lately and needless to say, I’v e been SUPER busy. I have some good plans for the site though– a way to simplify things if you will (more on that later, as I don’t want to spoil any surprises).

In the mean time, check out this video on how to rough out a quick page layout. It’s part of a three part series I’ll be putting up over the next little while that will cover roughing out the page, overlaying the sketch with pencil, and finally adding some marker to the sketch page.

Video: Photoshop Rendering of a Creature

Spencer Nugent — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 07:11:37 +0000

It’s no secret that I love sketching robots, especially on sketch-a-day.com, however, I rarely color them up. I thought I’d give it a go this time around and use some of the same principles that I use when rendering products.

This video covers about 40 minutes of render time that it took to complete the sketch render here. Don’t worry, it’s only about 20 minutes long, and hopefully it’ll be worth your time. Take a peek and if you like it, leave a comment below. If you have questions, feel free to email me at questions – at – idsketching.com

How to Sketch With Contour Lines

Spencer Nugent — Tue, 11 May 2010 11:27:32 +0000

I’ve recently had quite a few requests for a quick overview of contour line sketching and how it works. In this video, I go over a few tips and tidbits on how to quickly show form using simple contour lines while sketching. As always, feel free to share the video and leave comments below. If you’re having trouble viewing all the videos, check out vimeo.com/idsketching for all our archive of videos. Spencer out.

P.S. my apologies for the shaky camera – I’m using a new camera rig that I am trying to perfect.

How to Render (Quickly) In Photoshop

Spencer Nugent — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:12:00 +0000

A couple weeks ago I posted a sketch rendering of a PC Box on sketch-a-day.com. Luckily, I had recorded video of the sketching and rendering process and finally got around to laying in some audio and talking about the process. I’ll warn you though, It’s a little quick – okay it’s alot quick – and I may have glossed over a few things as I tend to do when I work digitally, but feel free to watch it a few times if you’re lost or email me questions [at] idsketching [dot] com.

I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS4 and a Wacom Intuos 3 in the demo.

See the finished render after the break…

Video: Surface Finishes With Markers

Spencer Nugent — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:55:47 +0000

After a few requests from several of you, I’ve put together a small video covering some surface finish simple techniques with prismacolor markers. It’s another cube (yay!), but the principles carry over to product sketching. I may do another video on curvilinear reflections in the near future. Just keep bugging me.

Here’s the final image scan:
