How to sketch a car design using the Happy accident!
I used Sketchbook Pro software, with a Wacom Cintiq 13HD. :)
Hey guys,
Today I would like to share with a Tip I learned at my Design school. When I was a student in Product design, I was so fascinated by Car design that I went to ask for information to transport design students. One of them shared with me that his teacher one day told him that:
"Sometimes when you explore, it's good to do not think too much.
Don't try to get everything perfect like you wanna control every single of your line. "
Whenever you do research, just try to throw your lines like how you feel inspired. All depends on what comes into your mind at this moment. It's something you can direct. You are not going to control 100% of your line, but you can direct your inspiration. For example, if you are looking for shapes that are more natural, more organic, more vegetal, you just need to think about leaves, about nature (Feel free to find inspiration pictures), about flowing water, about natural elements, and so on. And so your car is going to get that feeling.
On the opposite, if you want something for machinery, more metallic, you may think of Transformers! you will get a car that will get these types of shape. This is how you can direct your exploration. Look for the Happy accident! This means whenever you throw your lines on paper, you will get some kind of random association of lines. And then your mind can interpret them in a certain way. You will discover that "Wow! These lines are actually super cool!" So why not reuse them? So you just need to carry on sketching and research to develop your ideas and project. That's how you will get unexpected results.
So, take it easy, carry on looking for inspiration, and it's gonna be fun.
Note: This tip is a bit more advanced. However, if you are a beginner I still warmly recommend you to try as you may surprise yourself! I personally like to look at Toyfon.com who is a great car designer who inspires me a lot. (My friend Ben Go who is a yacht designer, told me about him)
I am thinking to prepare for you guys a sweet tutorial about a 3-point perspective. Before going there, I invite you to study well the Designer Starter Kit first. Feel free to watch the related videos for beginners from the TIP 150 to 155 :)
See you! And leave me a comment :)
