A while ago I posted some drawings of MR2s that I made once. I decided to see if I could add color to them and make them look a little better. I was going to try using gradient meshes to accomplish this, but got frustrated, and instead used Gaussian blurs to accomplish shading and highlights. It is by no means “photo-realistic,” but I think it still turned out interesting. Let me know what you think!
I’ve seen some pretty inexpensive iPad docks, but I thought I could take the next step to make one that is virtually free! I made this little beauty out of a single piece of paper. Well, it actually took 3 pieces of paper in order to work out all the bugs, but at $0.015 a sheet, this thing ran me a little less than a nickel!
I’ve had some more time to draw some Apple hardware in Illustrator. Here are some of the results.
The TV is a nifty little product. This was an easy drawing to create. Getting the correct perspective on the label was the most interesting aspect.
The newest iPod Nano was a breeze to replicate. The exceptionally clean lines meant that this was recreated in about 5-10 minutes.
This is the Apple Xserve. This one had a few more details than some of Apple’s other hardware that was fun to replicate, like the icons and lights.
