Looking for an ID concept art mentor

[IDSM]

My name is Sean Main, and I am in need of an ID art mentor.

More specifically, somebody who can bluntly tell me where I need to improve, give suggestions about the process & techniques, and be unwilling to accept anything less than professional grade work in the ID style. I've never been much of a master at sketching, and never really learned how to do digital rendering. I have primarily done 3D modeling (SW) over the last year, and REALLY neglected my sketching. (Sketch book online soon)

My primary interest is in products which could actually be produced with today's technology, ie: cars currently require wheels. Beyond that I don't really care what it is, as long as I am learning and improving my meager skill.

I got a BFA in Industrial Design (Product) and now I'm doing concept art (almost done with an MFA in Illustration). I can give you feedback . . . but mostly I suggest you go check out.

while I was in school for ID - I was told - do 8 hours of sketching before you choose to refine your idea - that way you get all the crap out. so . . .

draw a product . . post some of your better sketches up on this very thread and I'll give you some feed back.

you didn't say what you wanted to do . . cars, appliances, etc. . . . so, I suggest you design a CPU tower (computer - not monitor). how would you make it distinct? would you just do a suface treatment, or would you try to make it blend in and be invisible? or take it spacey-looking like AlienWare?

spen 8 hours doing thumbnails - or 50 pages - which ever comes first. scan in your best 50 ideas and we'll go from there.

Thanks,

I'm definitely going to check the site out.

I'm having scanner problems right now, but I'll have the sketches up ASAP.

As far as not saying what I want to do, I really don't care too much, but I find I keep a tighter focus and work better when somebody says "draw this"
