This card is from SVS Intro to Prop Design.

This lesson is about a taking your design sketch and making a more structural drawing of the prop. Since this is something a character can interact with, there’s more detail on how it can be used with a lid and how the light source can fit into the piece. I moved to a rounded square design just to give it more interest and have it fit in with Minecraft a little more. I feel like my drawing is much stiffer than the sketches. The sketches are meant to be looser, but this feels so stiff to me, I’m not sure how to loosen it up. I know there’s a materials class coming up that will hopefully help with the material design too. I don’t feel like I’m representing wood and stone well. This is all a very simple design, but that’s what I was looking for with this project.

Next time I will look at how other artists I like are handling things like wood and stone to see if I can make things look a little better and less stiff.
