Description This is a really, REALLY fun exercise I learned from Youtuber, Scott Robertson (link to his channel below). Basically, he takes a pen and just starts creating fairly simple mechs, no larger than a few inches either way. This allows him to come up with designs and ideas he likes quickly and not waste too much time if he doesn't like them. Also, he puts a little person on the side for scale, which I found helpful as well.

I added an element of my own to this, as I needed to test different pens and see how they did. Basically, I got every different type of pen I could find in my house and used each one, labeling which ones I had used for what.

This was an enormously useful exercise and it was really fun too. I'd like to say, once again, that I picked up this designing technique from Scott Robertson, though of course all of these designs are my own.

Check out Scott Robertson here, he's a great instructor and always has fantastic tips and beautiful reference to get you inspired.
