Site Launch: Driven Mavens

Automotive design tutorial websites are a bit of a rarity in the world.  Designer Techniques, ID Sketching, and Car Body Design are probably the most well known of the lot, but none capture the full automotive design experience from start to finish.

Arvind Ramkrishna, CDF’s Contributing Editor and fellow podcaster, noticed the gap.  Utilizing his passion for sketching as a driving factor, this week he launched his automotive tutorial and art website Driven Mavens.  From start to finish, Arvind (and in the future, guest designers) will showcase the optimal techniques for teaching designers and enthusiasts how to sketch, create, and design vehicles.  A sort of “online academy” DM already has a few terrific tutorial videos and will expand to other aspects of the Automitve Design industry down the line.

Join us in giving Arvind a virtual High Five as we celebrate the launch of Driven Mavens!
