What I made
Product sketches drawn in different variables, from how a product interacts with the user to extreme angles.
One of them is a rendered drawing of a chalk bag I designed for rock climbing. It's similar to a “chalk sock” but has a metal rim, a clip and a simple pull tie.

8 drawings · click any image to enlargeSketching and rendering
I try different styles, exploring loose sketching as well as final renderings. I also like to change my color palettes and brush tools depending on the product and how loosely I'm sketching.
The chalk bag comes with the chalk inside and simply clips onto you like a bag usually would. You have the option to refill it after, or you can keep buying them cheaply.
Why I care about this
For the chalk bag: when you usually buy chalk for climbing, it comes in an often plastic bag that you have to pour into a chalk bag, which can be pretty pricey. Sometimes you can get chalk in a “chalk sock”, but that can't clip onto a harness. I wanted to create a cheap, simple product that comes with the chalk inside, so you don't have to buy a separate chalk bag.
Sketching matters to me because I get to trial ideas and explore shape and form to the utmost exaggeration, without worrying whether it will work or not.
