Door Handle concept sketches (Elanor)

Concept sketches for a door handle, (Elanor). The idea was that doors should be able to be opened even if your hands are full of groceries or dirty from cooking. Therefore if you are left with an elbow or a leg, you would still be able to open it. It also should be easy to clean because as many people know, door handles are dirty!

The first one is mine, and the second one is what I SHOULD do. More contrast, and fear not the black.





Note: In mine, I kept to three shades of gray only, and tried to use the white of the paper.
Next time: draw a center line to help keep in mind the form of the object and be not afraid of the use of black being too dark.

:) I see you haven't yet managed to draw the 30-60 with nice doubledcurves in it. To construct fillets in drawings makes them nicer. Everything in my first year was also square and blocky.
