Week 7 - Final: Tool project

I didn't really get much feedback on my skateboard drawings except that they were good essentially.

Guess that's not a bad thing to know I'm on the right track!


I started with drawings like these because I wanted to add a road and imply that the skateboard was going somewhere.









Then I got tired of making big drawings haha.

I continued by maybe doing a ramp to indicate that the skateboard was meant to do tricks more than a means of transportation.





But then I really lost the sense of depth so I reverted back to my original concept.


Eventually this is what I came up with and decided to go with.








So instead of selecting which colors I wanted to use beforehand, I just grabbed a stash of colored papers that I had at home because I was in a hurry.


Turns out I only had 6 colors to choose from.





I started with the most simplest part of the design: the road.





Then I decided to make the wood part of the board and just make the wheels proportional.





I needed to have a sense of depth because without the bottom line it didn't really look like it was gonna move along the Z-axis.

The board looked too 2-dimensional. So I really had the add the black part.





Up next were the wheels.

I'm glad I found another use for these circle template things.





After making the wheels I added them on to the road.





Now it was time to crop part of the board and then cut off the top.





And voila. There is my final for this assignment.
