Sketchbook Work - Mechanical Marvel

Initial And Observational Drawings (WIP)

These are my initial idea sketches, I need to fill this page up with more ideas because at this point I don't feel like I have enough ideas to be completely happy with this piece of work.

These are some observational drawings, this is where we took pictures of steampunk looking robots and add our own details to giver them an original spin. I wasn't happy with the results because I wasn't happy with the ideas I got down or how creative I was

This piece of work was how I came up with the look of my final piece, I had the idea of a flying exploration robot but I couldn't think of the shape or look of the robot. So I filled a page of my sketchbook with random shapes that looked like they could work as a flying exploration robot and that is when I came up with the final look of my robot.

Silhouette's 

I created silhouette's to give myself ideas on how my robot could look and I also used it to develop my ideas.

Artist Interpretation and Mechanical Joints (WIP)

This is my artist interpretation of Matias Hannecke's robot digital painting I found, It interested me because it was an well done mecha that had a unique spin on it because of the colour and cartoony art style. So I first started to sketch it and after that I need to take it into photoshop and colour it. 

These are my mechanical joints drawings that I need to add more detail and show function more clearly, I also need to add more of these mechanical joints. I struggled with this particular piece of work because of my lack of knowledge of how the human body works and mechanical objects.

Developed Sketch

This is my developed sketch of an idea I had for the look and shape of my robot, I think that I will carry on this design into my final piece. I like the simplistic look of the robot and though I am not pleased with how it looks in a 2D format I am hopeful of how it will look after I model it in 3D.
