Brainstorm School Weeks 1 & 2 Exercises

[lmx]

I'm currently doing a tutorial from Brainstorm school (the package without an instructor, sold on Gumroad) focused on concept design fundamentals.

WEEK 1

Here's the point of week 1 exercise:

• Analyzing a character/vehicle/architecture and focus on the small/medium/large shapes
• Try to create some alternative designs from the same character/vehicle/architecture, using the rules of small/medium/large

Here are the sheets I've been doing the last month. I had some issues on the Megaman alternative designs, as perspective was involved and I was generally less inspired by this character. That's the worst of the list, in my opinion. I didnt' have time to make more of these, though. Anyway, the point of this exercise was more focused on design exploration.

I got another week of assignments in store, But i'll wait for you guys to give some crit on this one before going further.

WEEK 2

The focus of this exercise is to work on alternative silhouettes on a given character/vehicle/architecture.
I had to work on 3 design types (circles/squares/triangles), 4 silhouettes per page.

I don't see anything that seems off. So far so good. Really solid breakdowns of the different designs you choose.

Thanks a lot @malcom !

I had less inspiration with architeture in general (on the silhouettes) as I went for something larger in scale - because I had a bit of struggle varying the large shapes designs. Anyway you can feel the confidence growing quickly with these kinds of exercises.

I'm going forward with the 3rd week! I'm excited to share these here
