Drawing Practice

Intentional repetition of drawing tasks to improve technical and perceptual ability.

Here is today’s brief:

  • Title: Nested Frames
  • Theme: Segmented enclosures treated as layered spatial traps.
  • Object: A wrist-scale structure built from three interlocking shells. Treat each shell as a rigid geometric envelope with a distinct curvature logic. No ornamentation. Pure spatial mechanics.
  • Constraints: Each sketch must separate one shell and represent its volumetric rule without relying on line shading. No shared axes. No symmetry. Show how the shells interlock by subtractive or sliding interfaces only. Keep the mass distribution readable in orthographic and one oblique view.
  • Deliverable: Three sketches: one per shell, each isolating its volumetric principle; one combined diagram showing the assembly sequence in three steps.

Here is today’s brief:

  • Title: Hybrid Concept Sketch.
  • Theme: Generation of experimental volumes and silhouettes blending watchmaking, jewelry, and functional object design. Formal exploration only.
  • Object: An ambiguous artefact: neither watch, nor jewel, nor utilitarian sculpture. A single volume shaped by an off-center internal cavity altering its outer contour.
  • Constraints:
    • Work only with rapid views: 3 profile sketches + 1 exploded or sectional view.
    • Use primary geometric forms but disrupt at least one axis or radius.
    • No narrative, no aesthetic justification.
    • Each sketch must isolate one distinct volumetric principle.
    • Maximum time: 30 minutes.
  • Deliverable: Four sketches: three silhouette variations + one sectional or exploded view revealing the off-center cavity and its effect on mass distribution.

Here is today’s brief:

  • Title: Fractured Loop.
  • Theme: controlled rupture within continuous form.
  • Object: sculptural wrist object, pure volume study.
  • Constraints: closed loop split by one decisive break line; interior void asymmetrical; outer contour uninterrupted; no functional markers.
  • Deliverable: five pen sketches exploring loop geometry, break-line behaviour, and void proportion.

Here is today’s brief:

  • 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: Asymmetric Core.
  • 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲: tension of fused geometries.
  • 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁: sculptural watch-jewel hybrid.
  • 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀: one void only; one soft curve; rest sharp; no function cues.
  • 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: five pen sketches exploring silhouette and volume.

Daily Creative Brief

I listen to the audiobook of « Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World » by Anne-Laure Le Cunff. She’s a neuroscientist and in her very cool book she explains the idea of tiny experiment and the importance to stick to them. I will do this experiment over a period of 30 days. We will see where it leads.

So I asked ChatGPT to act as a luxury brand and to give me a creative brief.
It can a be a watch, a jewel or an object.

I only have 30 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 to produce sketches, by hand, on paper.

This is an experiment I am doing daily.
However, the publishing on my website and social media is taking me a little longer than expected, please bear with me. This is my very first post, so I’m still learning.

Here’s what I hope to achieve:

  • Reinforce creativity – use it or lose it, everyday.
  • Embrace the unexpected – AI generates unpredictable requests.
  • Remove indecision – the clock is ticking (procrastination is a big issue for me…)
  • Accept imperfection – OMG this is a huge negative force in my creative life.

I call this process “Launch-Under-Imposed-Generated-Instructions-Prompt-Triggered”.

Or simply LuiGiPT 🙂

Machines should help us get better, not the other way around.
