A design is resurrected ! ...

Some experimental samples & sketches (below right) reminded me of a previously sketched 'Honesty' design (below left) that I wanted to work up.

Cell sketches No. 4 - Water cells

Colour pencil sketches (on blue paper) of some cells found in ocean waters (copied from a book). The colours are those stains used in the original microscope photography to enable the cells to be seen more clearly. In drawing these, I've been trying to capture the transluscency as well as pattern formations.

Both sketches have resulted in ideas for further development.

Cell sketches No. 3 - Shapes

Following the cell route, I'm looking at structures & formations - this is leading rapidly into geometric shapes based around curves etc. Working in Illustrator, some initial design 'sketches' have resulted in these shapes which can easily transform into 3D forms.

Cell sketches No. 2 - Basic cells

To get me back into the mood of 'sketching' (having spent some time on the computer) & working with paper again, I've started off with a few initial sketches on cells ... already it's providing me with some fresh ideas to work with (have a look here to see some of them as they progress).
