A,B, Sketches
-
For those interested in design principles and creativity, I think there are some useful hints in my A, B, Sketches book. It is designed to boost your form generation creativity yet you may use it as a blueprint for 3D modeling drills to challenge and improve your skills.
You may grab your copy from the Sketchucation shop here:

Here are some images that I think are mainly relevant to design, and that is why I am sharing them in the gallery section. I would be happy to see your attempts.

The book includes an ample number of design samples for each alphabet letter (from A to Z), starting from playing with 2D shapes and trying to convert them into 3D models (sketches). Many of them were really challanging to I myself because of form similarities. Letters such as M,W, or A, V, U, N,n...
Here are more detailed images of the same pages, I think may help to concentrate on the shared tip.
In this case, H and P are combined. Do not consider them as the final design; they are just to ignite your creativity. You can see that there is a continuous improvement from 2D to 3D and it must continue to the final steps.

These are more samples from the letter A.
Take a sketch as a tool for thinking and not a polished product:

More 2D and 3D examples:
You can see the form-generation rules such as rotation, repetition, overlapping, mirroring, resembling, etc.. here.
-
More of 2D forms inspired by the letter B.
-
I would like to see some 3D models based on these sketches.
For those of you who prefer having the physical version of the book, can grab it from Amazon: https://a.co/d/5YvA6m2
Here are 3D forms based on developing former 2D sketches.

As always, nice work and good inspiration.

Beautiful, masterful, loose drawings Majid
-
Thanks for those, Majid. Very insightful.
-
Like architects shorthand
-
Thank you, mates, for your kind words. I know that there are plenty of spots to be developed and improved. But the goal was to show the process (at least partially) from a rough sketch on.
-
More examples of the "F" letter.
E letter..
E
-
Some more creative H!

I said to myself: Try your imagination with H, then try to make them 3D as well

Finally modeled an H building to see how it will come.

Lovely work as your usual.

The style is deliverable with the model: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/30865223-c310-46bb-9743-46d655302747/An-H-building

As inspiration goes, it does not come better. Nicely done, Majid. Stay well out there.

Let's continue with the letter I:
As usual, I start from 2D sketches:
