Core77 Show+Tell: Converse Design Director, Michael DiTullo, Sketches a Sneaker in 4-Minutes
Also, I think it is important to remember too, whoever is working in the market today knows that it is not ideal to assume that you have endless hours to render and research trends and design. You have to be quick to notice details and go by instinct and raw talent. He makes it look easy but that is the just the result of many years of work and practice.
I always find music to be helpful while sketching... Do you generally listen to anything else, or is it always Peter, Bjorn and John?
....gone sketching
I for one feel truly inspired and am off to A, sharpen my pencils B, find my old blue markers and C, find that damn music!
Its all about the music!!
looking through someone's sketchbook can be a very inspiring thing.
I should just point out that I don't think the speed is the most important thing in this video. He works with sneakers, so he knows all the curves and stuff (he probably sketched thousands and thousands of sneakers...). So he doesn't have to spend too much time trying new curves and lines.
What I think is the most amazing thing is how he works. He KNOWS how to translate his ideas into a drawing. In 4 minutes... That's brilliant!
