Description
I am a very plain person, so never expect me to do crazy ass swoopy lines insofar as car design goes. Most of the concept drawings I see of cars as of late just outright upset me, so here is something more traditional.No, it doesn't have 22" spinners, nor is it slammed to the ground so that the camber has to be at an over 10Β° tilt to let the wheels under the wheel wells.
I am designing a car that i would actually buy if i could make that happen.
I see a few cars mixed up in this one: Looks like a first gen Toyota Solara for the lower window line, almost Saturnish rear lights, but overall very traditional lines. That rear hatch splits vertically between the top part of the rear light on either side of the integrated spoiler.
Are there mistakes, of course yes. I didn't reference off any pic, I just plotted the perspective lines and drew what was on my mind. For the record though, i do start with the wheels and then build it from there. As i start colouring this one i will fix it as i go.
Process:
Rough: So i started with a just a piece of cheap ass printer paper and plotted some perspective lines. I was originally going to draw a sedan, but it turned into a coupe.
Pencil: I put it on my light box and traced it off with a super sharp 2H pencil.
Final lines: I want this one to be clean so i blew it up and traced it over with a 1 px brush. All those lines with exception of the wheels are with the line tool. Yes it took some time to do, Corel Photopaint 8 doesn't seem to have a good curve tool. One note witht he rims, I did draw only the top half and flip it and copy it for the front wheel slightly altering it.
This was alot of fun so far, now on to the colours.

I try to use Macromedia Flash when it comes to lines like that.
I actually want to draw like that with actual techpens though. Seems rather impossible though.
Anyway, sweet beans!

It's a wonder how a lot of people don't put any stake at all into drawing everyday objects like cars and such. It's quite an intricate process.

Thank you! I finally understand how car images "work" with regard to perspective. Great lineart.

FTO is another car i really liked too. Next year we should be able to import them here in Canada.
Saw a RH drive 300Z just yesterday in Mississauga.

Very kewl design. I like the arch on the underside of the side trim, makes it look just a little bit race-like.
What would you put under the hood?

Not sure yet.... Definetely between 2.5 - 3.0 L, and 250 - 320 hp

geardrafter In reply to Omar-Dogan [2008-09-25 03:58:50 +0000 UTC]
Sounds like a good plan. As long as it has a short-throw shifter, I'd be happy.
What's your preference for the drivetrain? 4wd is my personal favorite, but then I'm biased in favor of rally cars. FR would probably be better.
Anyway, have fun with it!

Yup, definitely a realistic car ^^ and it looks awesome too. I would definitely want to buy one of those if they were around

Nice, it looks like it would work well from an engineering point of view, so many concept ideas wouldn't even roll if built. they have such huge wheels that the un-sprung mass would be crazy high meaning crapy damping and the bushings fail after no time.

I don't see any mistakes, it looks awesome. If it does come into a reality I'd buy it. ^^ It's so smooth and streamline, wish I could get the vehicles I attempt to look like yours.

that's one thing about car nuts, especially those who are into imports, that i cannot stand; shiny effects, bad paint jobs, suspension killing ground effects, etc don't make your car better or faster,even. i wish i could find this blog i read a month or so back about the 10 of the dumbest things people do to their cars to make them look "cool" (some including the aforementioned gripes on my part).
looking forward to the final result

Holy crap.
Well, when i was on honeymoon in Japan, I bought a GT-R moniker for a Skyline, maybe I should affix it to my Civic.

Great linework -- as for the design, I think it lacks finesse (caused, I think, by the line that continues straight on along the lower part of the car instead of breaking at the rear wheel and taking a different route from there, making the rear look like a casino exterior), but that's just an opinion of course. Can't say I would design anything more detailed and sharp.
Any plans for it?

You can always try Adobe Illustrator CS, the pen tool is much better. I think it's more difficult to do the clean up with a radiography pen.

so the end result is digital, I thought it was nked at first, I wish I could draw such precise lines when it comes to drawing a object or vehicle, but I guess thats just something I need to practiPr

Nice to see this--you have a great range beyond fighting game character art. It's very well done. I've never been terribly good at drawing anything other than characters, so I'm impressed by this.
