Game Art & Design I



Sketching Portfolio

OBJECTIVE: V104.01

Exampling game conceptualization including brain storming, sketching and storyboarding.

Introduction: How can you communicate your great idea to your team? Sketching it is the answer. Let’s learn and practice basic sketching.

Materials: Internet, sample sketches, and

1. Sketch Pad (9” x 12” or larger) with at least 10 sheets of high quality drawing paper that erases easily and cleanly. Students may share the expense by splitting the cost with another student and dividing the paper among themselves.

2. 2-3 Drawing pencils (HB hardness for general work, and 4B-6B hardness for shading and shadows).

3. 1-2 “Magic Rub” erasers or other artistic/drafting, soft erasers.

Procedure:

It’s a good idea to develop a sketching portfolio as evidence of your artistic skills. The sketching portfolio should be of a quality that may be presented to post secondary schools as part of their entrance requirements. All schools who teach game design will need to see some examples of a student’s sketching ability before making a final decision on a student’s admission.

Your sketch portfolio should include the following:

1. 3-5 basic sketched such as a Whale Shark (guided drawing), Humpback Whale (guided drawing) , Dodge Stratus (guided drawing) , 1961 Corvette (guided drawing) and Caracal (guided drawing) which are provided from a drawing book. You can also look online to find other items to sketch.

2. Original game level or scene

3. Original 3D game character (not science fiction) as seen from the front, side and back.

I suggest that you practice your sketching on scratch paper before actually committing to using the professional paper in your sketch pad. Practicing will let you get a feel for the sketching process and how shading can make your finished work look professional and grounded.
