Sketch Ideas and Working with Cutlery

These are the designs that I have been working on over the past month. They are all of the possible options that I have considered for the theme of my cutlery. Even though there a very little features of the cutlery itself, the animal shapes and designs have helped developed my final set immensely. I have enjoyed working through the variety of designs that I am able to work with and looking forward creating my unique 3D model on 3D Max to see what the outcome is like. Here are a few of my sketch designs:

In our tutorial class, we started on working on how to create a spoon. I found this task to be quite difficult because it involved a lot of scaling, extruding and moving vectors to make sure everything was in proportion. Getting the shape of the spoon itself wasn't as bad, because I was used to working with extruding and scaling shapes to fit the form of what I wanted, but whenever it came to using the front port to balance and place all of the vector points in order to give the spoon the curve that it needed it was difficult for me to proceed on. So I decided to leave the main prep work to whenever I would be working on my actual spoon for the cutlery set. Here are some screen shots of me working on the spoon:
