Common Art Week 1 - Syd Mead and Basic Shapes

Our first assignment was to select a piece by Syd Mead and pull out a few areas of interest and recreate them, keeping in mind basic shapes.

I chose his work entitled "The Party" and selected one of the female partygoers and the futuristic device immediately closest to the viewer. From my perspective, I see it as a sort of reimagined private seating area.

To begin my sketch, I analyzed each object and laid down simple shapes like ovals, circles, and tubes.

Here I have highlighted the main forms that make up the seating area. From here, it was easy to block out where the edges would go and consequently, the highlights and shadows.

20-minute speed modelling of a reverse trike. Not the best, but I had such a good time
during the process. It might not be able to roll, but it is unique!
