Introduction to Prop Design - Looking for fellow 'classmates'

[PieterVanDerBeek]

I think this is the final setup for my plumber's standing lamp – looking forward to rendering it... :-]

[Jacy13]

@PieterVanDerBeek I just got through the Light & Shadow class, and I'll be starting this class today! Really excited
Everyone's work is looking very creative and awesome.

@PieterVanDerBeek that looks amazing.

I decided to do a simple design.

[PieterVanDerBeek]

@Jacy13 Awesome – welcome to the club! :-]

 Here is my lamp progress! Any critue welcome, am I getting proportion and shape and harmony and contrast? So much to think about!

[Mairin Kareli]

@PieterVanDerBeek I like the extra width and more joints at the bottom, it balances it nicely

[Mairin Kareli]

@charitymunoz I feel like we were on similar brach-lamp vibes! I like how the light looks like a bug and also a blossom at the same time.

@Mairin-Kareli I was going for what a squirrel would have in it's nest (my 9yo's suggestion). We determined it would use a lightning bug, but it would have to treat it well, like a pet - hence the grass at the bottom and perchlike structure for the "lamp". I love all the twists and shapes you gave yours!! Great job!

Here is my page of silhouettes! Took me a lot longer than it should have, but it was my first time doing an exercise like this. I hope that each time I do this exercise; I can get a little faster with it.

My concept was a flamingo lamp designed for the Queen of Hearts from Alice In Wonderland. I imagined Alice In Wonderland with a steampunk aesthetic. The ones circled in blue are the ones I decided to take to the thumbnail stage

[PieterVanDerBeek]

@Jacy13 Ooh I love the shapes! :-]

[PieterVanDerBeek]

Here's my first render attempt...

[Mairin Kareli]

@charitymunoz cool idea about a squirrels nest!

[Mairin Kareli]

I am really struggling to draw this lamp in 3/4 top down, I have redraw it like 4 times ... I think I picked some tricky shapes! Any help would be appreciated - Thank you!

[Mairin Kareli]

This is the best looking attempt so far. sigh It needs cleaning up obviously, but perspective wise ....

[Mairin Kareli]

Tried again, OK I will stop spamming this thread now. Thanks for looking

[Jacy13]

@PieterVanDerBeek Thank you!

[Jacy13]

@PieterVanDerBeek The rendering is looking really nice! I like the simple color choices. Keeps the design clear and easy to read

@PieterVanDerBeek i really like how you have kept the rendering simple, the reflected light of the light bulb is done well. The shadow on the plunger could be a little bit darker. Other than that this is awesome.

Final rendered piece. What do you think?
