Hand Illustrations

Lately I have been embracing my urge to sketch anything and everything. These periods in my life come and go which is frustrating, but while it is here I fully intend to take advantage.




By no means are these sketches meant to be the final product. They are documentations of thoughts, ideas, and process that I will have to reference. Technical details, straight lines, and other flaws are not important at this stage in order for there to be room for growth in the design.



Sketches

Ideas and inspiration are always easier to find when I take time to sketch. I love it when simple sketches end up being a crucial part of what inspire a design, painting or idea.

I try to not worry about how the sketches may look but instead try to see if there are any connections to be made to the project at hand. 

These sketches for the current project that I am working on may or may not be obvious inspirations for a coffee shop. However, the colors, shapes and concepts that emerge from this process always lead the way to strong and creative ideas.
