I hope you enjoy looking through these sketches as much as I enjoyed putting this collection together.-Darren . We have decided to keep a faithful reproduction of the original Cottonwood sketchbook layouts. Design sketching can be a quick and gestural way to describe an idea.This book contains a collection of mechanical design sketches done over a few months. What initially started as a discussion with friends and sketching eventually led to this collection which I hope to share with you. We felt having this skill was an integral part of being a designer working in the entertainment industry. From the Author In early 2013, I had a conversation with my friends, John Park and Khang Le, about our views on the importance of drawing and more specifically, the importance of design sketching. Besides providing that initial spark of inspiration, I feel the ideas in this book can serve as a springboard for further expl
The perfect scratchbuilder/kitbasher's companion book! Worth every penny! Jonathan Lombardo I've been following the art of Darren Quach for a couple years now online; when he'd share something new I'd save his sketch for my reference when to scratchbuilt or kitbash models. So naturally when I saw this design sketch book available for pre-order, I jumped on it.Darren has a very unique and intriguing style of art. He weighs heavily on the mechanical side (which I love), however the build of his sketches are often biological in nature. Everything seems to have purpose and a very realistic feel to it. . Great learning experience . JayArr I've been working on sketching for some time now, and this book, purposely published to resemble an artist's sketchbook, is a great inspiration for me. I'm not an "artist" in the traditional sense; I do not draw to "express my emotions or feelings." I consider myself a hobbyist/illustrator; I want to draw pictures that are of recognizable things. Since Quach is a sci-fi game designer/artist, this book is mostly of "mecha", i.e., the mechanical sci-fi machines encountered in this genre. It is NOT a "how-to" b. Like the cover? Expect more of that and even better. If you like what's on the cover then expect more of the same. This is essentially the sketchbook of a concept artist that is very good at doing marker thumbnails. Currently sitting on my desk which is fairly high praise considering how many art books I own.
