Back to work...

Some light sketching in between customers...

Testing...

Ran out of cool gray so I went to get more copics...but they're $5+!
so I copped some blick brand for $1.50 a piece...and I like them =)

Thursday's child...

Is the zoom jet burst =)

Color blocking...

Suns colorway for mr Nash.

Details count...

Adding stitch lines to give not only an added touch of detail but some
curveature to the overall shape.

Zoom jet burst

Working on my illustrator skills

More boxing boot!

Still swimming around in the mind...trying to get it out and onto paper.

Inspired...

Working on a manny pacqiao inspired boxing shoe

Linework...

Same shoe with linework made visible.

Zoom blur guard...

Back to work after a brief stint as graphic designer for my camp.
Basic shadowing and color of my shoe for the night.

All hail!

Propers and daps to manny for the win. Here are some concepts for a
boxing shoe.

Illustrator..

Lack of sketching due to a project I'm working on. This is the back of
a shirt I designed for a Christian camp I volounteer at.

hi-res

up until now, i've only posted screenshots taken with my iphone of the stuff i've been working on. i've had a little free time to actually transfer from my work to my internet compy, so here goes =)

Another image...

Threw a quick bg together while resting the eyes. Working on more views.

Sunday work...

Back to work this evening on my KB24 sig shoe.

Deadline made!

You didn't think I'd end the weekend without a sketch, did you?

Tuesday sketchyness...

Practicing a couple of views on a simple design.

Step 2...

Adding some overall shadows to the entire form.

First steps...

Drew up the linework in illustrator then started filling in colors in
PS..

Design exploration...

More views of a previous design =)

Mid-cut view exploration

Just more views of a previous design

Woot Woot!

I'm quite happy with the results =)

More PS work

This shoe is stumping me. The more I learn, the less I know =(

Mid-cut

Thursday midcut bball sneaker

Sketch-o-the-day...

Thought I'd practice my PS skills so I drew this up to take through
the process.

It's a start...

Almost 3AM but I couldn't stop until I cranked something decent out =)

No what?...

So I've rendered what I can but it's around this point that I get
stuck. I need to add textures, stitch lines and other things but I
just can't find the proper technique!

Rendo...

Working on the PS version of my sketch.

Work over or over working?

Went over some lines with a sharpie to create line weight. Did I over
do it?

Kinda sketchy...

Loose/sloppy and the previous pic didn't do it any justice. Goodness
knows it can use all the help it can get =/

Super sketchy...

I know it's super loose/sloppy but that just goes to show I need to
develop other perspectives.

Markers=shampoo?!

Because they give my drawings a little color and volume =)

3/4 zoom Barkley...

Exploring one of my previous designs

Back in the mix...

A football turf training shoe for Monday's first sketch.

Barkley inspired...

A zoom shoe for CB4 fans

Keep on keeping on...

I can't seem to get the image right...I guess it's time to tape up a
last and see if I can model it =)

Perspective...

I went over the lines I wanted to keep with blue pen but I'm still not
happy with the shape. Methinks I have a ways to go before this design
becomes plausible.

Perspective...

Step two is to add the main elements of the shoe and try to place them
as close as possible to where they appear on the side view. There are
parts that are off, I know, I know.

Step 1...

I'm drawing a wireframe of sorts to get a proper feel for shape/
proportion and shape of the shoe in a 3/4 perspective.

Perspective...

Drawing up a 3/4 view of my converse idea to flesh it out but it's
off...I'll keep trying though...

Suns/rockets inspired

Something for amare...

Keeping in the fighting spirit....

Drew my inspiration from the layered armor of the samurai. Small slits
for mesh vents allow breathablitiy.

Fighting a cold...

Been sick for the last two days so I thought it would be fitting to
come back to the blog with a boxing boot.

Jet Flight...

Light-weight zoom shoe for quick guards

Converse concept...

A little late for my first sketch if the day...but it's not a day
without one.

More adidas

I'm an equal opportunity sneakerhead

Pointilism

An excercise in the style

Lunch sketch...
