An other  special day
An other special visit 
An outstanding experience

Thank you 
Howard "H" White 


Remember imagination and the power of believe is the first step to reach what you think you could only dream about

Decide what you are willing to give up.

Write the dreams down.

everyday you wake up tell you self that your dream can come through. 

Most greatness comes from within. 

The only thing that can transform your life is kindness.

Knowledge is knowledge. Apply knowledge is power.

The only time we fail is the last time we try.

I´m not a big fan of Marker renderings
BUT
I want to share it with you 
after the last weeks i started to understand 
WHY MARKERS?

A marker rendering is a tool to sell your virtual idea to others
A marker rendering can show materials, colors, shapes and personal expression 
A marker rendering is understanding of 3D object in 2D
A maker rendering take times, but can be fun if you take your time and develop 

------

What is maker renderings?

Maker is a special kind of "tusser" (danish) that blend very well with each other. 
Designers use them to create a rendering of a design for a virtual display


This is the better.. and could be better

Guides
There are not one way to do this, but here is the guides I got to make the better version

Take a last/shoe and a lamp and place the light
Look and make a plan..
use a light maker on the dark areas to make it wet
got dark and dark on smaller and smaller areas

Stop - look at it, take our time and adjust..

it you make a mistake, just continue - we can always fix it!
draw over the lines, you will highlight them later 
Admire your work on the way..
dont use a normal pencil, draw on a copy if possible
use for example a silver to make reflective look
make it fit the style of your design..
in the end, use a black color pencil to re-draw the lines
make the line around the shoe the darkest and thicker  

Thank you Stéfan 
for guides and good advises 
Team help beyond the usual

Quotes of the day

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision
- John Maxwell

- Chapter 15 -


Drawing process
hold your pencil from the top 
instead of the normal way where the pencils lays in your hand

 clean lines
 think about the placement of light source 
 roof shadowing
  not press too hard
use eraser or paper pens for fading


 The upper on the shoe is white, 
therefor i make the shadows brighter 

show effects

  thin white line in the dark lines to give the feeling of reflective 3M material
