Welcome to a new tradition here on CDf. We love car sketches as most car enthusiasts and designers do. With that love comes a large collection of images from the web. Sketches range from cool student work to OEM development which they do not share enough of. Every week we will share a range of images from rough early sketch to highly detailed final rendering.
We know that we all learn and are inspired from each other, so we are trying to do our part to help. Click after the jump to find out this weeks pics. Hopefully no one minds us spreading their inspirational work.
Buick Riviera Development
-These are great quick sketches. Ball point pen and some quick Photoshop air brushing to block in the cores.
Mazda Concept
-Here is a great middle stage design rendering. You can still read the pencil lines, letting you know this is a sketch. There is enough paint to define the shape of the car and some simple details.
Hot Wheels Semi by Scott Robertson
This is one of those amazing renderings that you can stare at for hours. How long does something of this caliber take to do? I am sorry for the small image. I wish I had a bigger one to appreciate the details. Can you find the driver?
hotwheels- classic stuff
the buick and mazda are so efficient I can’t do things that clean for the life of me
Conquering fast, efficient and clean renderings has to be one of the most beneficial skills in this industry. Practice, practice, the more you do it the easier it will become.
Mazda designers are pretty talented! Although that sketch was firstly made with pencil, it can’t be digitally painted like that without a big tablet, such as Wacom Intuos or Cintiq.
In short, it’s currently hard to be a good designer without a great equipment.
