Foundation Patreon – Sci-Fi Design Part 2 – Shapes with Keshan Lam

Hi, welcome back to part 2 of the tutorial. I’m Keshan Lam. If you missed the last video, be sure to catch up on part 1. This is the second part of a 3-part sci-fi tutorial. Just to recap, I’m Keshan Lam, currently a creative director at Throttle Concept Studio and an instructor at Brainstorm School. In the previous tutorial, we covered flow, cut lines, and surface techniques. In this part 2 video, we’ll focus heavily on shapes. We’ll break down shapes and focus on big, medium, and small elements. Let’s dive into the tutorial.

In the last video, we discussed the basics of sci-fi concept design, emphasizing flow, cut lines, and proportions. These concepts will carry over to this video as we delve deeper into shape manipulation. We’ll explore ways to make shapes more complex and intriguing. In the next part of the tutorial, we’ll move on to redesigning specific objects like vending machines or doors.

I’ll demonstrate various techniques for shaping objects, from simple boxes to more intricate designs. We’ll focus on creating shapes that are visually compelling and avoid flatness.

I’ll also emphasize the importance of using references. Drawing inspiration from real-life objects, artwork, and designs can greatly enhance your creative process.

Throughout the tutorial, I’ll encourage you to experiment with shapes, cut lines, and proportions to create unique and engaging designs. Remember, it’s essential to train your eye and develop a strong foundation in design principles.

Let’s begin by exploring different shapes and techniques to add depth and complexity to our designs. We’ll focus on creating dynamic silhouettes and incorporating smaller details to enhance visual interest.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a better understanding of how to manipulate shapes and create compelling sci-fi designs. So, let’s get started and unleash our creativity!
