Early during our project James rendered the piece on page 23. When he presented that piece to us at our bi-monthly meeting, I really liked the new approach to suggesting form he described. The two images you see here are a result of my trying to blend the sketching techniques he introduced to us with the typical product-rendering techniques I use frequently. I executed the sketches entirely digitally using the “lasso tools” within Photoshop and Corel Painter.

The top sketch on the opposite page was done in Photoshop. I approached the sketch by imagining a simple speed-form vehicle accompanied by a figure of some sort. In order to render in this fashion, sketch expressive forms with the lasso tool and then fill the selection you have made with an opaque color on its own layer. The process moves very fast and you should try to let it be very random and expressive.
