Watering Can - Household Item Design

WATERING CAN - HOUSEHOLD ITEM DESIGN

This watering can in our laundry is "mundane" and very simple in its design, but I like it for the colour choice, the extremely textured and weathered look of the painted area, and the very smooth edges (all of the edges appear quite bevelled and flow/sink into each other in a way that doesn't look visually jarring at all). Gestalt's principle of continuity is partially present here in that way I suppose!

For fun, I went into Blender and spent a couple of hours creating a simple model of this watering can and texturing it. I hope I got across the smoothness in my recreation! The final result is a bit too high-poly for a game asset but it could be decent as a prop in a CG film or something! The most difficult part was the tube, which I created to some degree of success using a bezier curve (however I think the joint is a little awkward).

Thank you for reading this short blog post!
