When I started at art academy, I discovered that I have no drawing skills at all. No straight lines, no perspective, no technique what so ever. Looking at my classmates, this became a source of uncertainty until I came to the conclusion that the drawings have character and distinguish themselves because of the lack of skills. The objects that I (tried to) draw were therefore own.
Since graduating in 2012, I have developed this further into my own design methodology; the Intuitive Creative Design Method. The core is that I fully rely on the artistic value of my drawings.
Every object starts with this method as a small manual sketch and when translated into the 3d product the sketchy aesthetic is preserved as much as possible.
The goal is to copy the sketch 1 on 1 in 3d. Without intervention of ratio, market research, technical drawings or computer modeled models. This keeps me as close as possible in line with my intuition.
