Assignment: Create sketch renderings that utilize 2D & 3D tools for impact and efficiency. Choose a final direction for your flash drive project and create rough models in Alias or Solidworks. Using screenshots as an underlay, use 2D tools to sketch over the models, add details, and simulate materials. Carefully choose which details are best modeled in 3D and which should be left to add later in Photoshop. Excellent concepts will evenly and appropriately utilize 2D and 3D tools to maximize the impact of the rendering in terms of accuracy, contrast, and composition. Share your mixed media renderings and discuss the challenges and successes in your work.

I had a real challenge with trying to make my sketch render look sketchy and early without making it look crappy. I'm not so sure how well I did that. I'm not real happy with how the sketchy one turned out but I'm darn pleased of the Photoshop one. I need to work on making it more dramatic though. There isn't much technically space to improve, but I can definitely do better with the style. Irena says gradient greyscale backgrounds and irrelevant swoopy lines. I don't know, but maybe. I've included the image I started from for reference.
