Course content

1 section • 5 lectures • 34m total length

  • Coming and Going: Secrets of Drawing Great Front and Rear Views7:12

    In this lecture you will learn 2 ways to easily create front and rear end views of your automotive designs. These are methods  professional car designers use to generate designs quickly and get their designs picked for production (with examples shown). Design theory regarding front and rear view elements is also discussed.

  • A View From the Top: Secrets of Drawing a Tip-Up View7:14

    For many, this will be the beginning of what they consider a perspective drawing, even though it's still a 1pt. perspective. A tip-up view is a dynamic, exciting drawing to be able to generate to represent your car design ideas. In this lecture, you will learn how to set up your tip-up view to maximize the impact of your drawing, the process of creating a tip-up view from scratch and how to successfully build out the structure to insure your drawing is accurate.

  • Toward the Within: Introduction to Interiors5:49

    Welcome to the first foray into the interior of the car. Automotive interiors are made up of many, many parts but all interior designs start with a basic drawing to establish a design theme. Many young designers shy away from interiors, but this is the last thing you want to do. This lecture not only covers the method for building an automotive interior design drawing in 1pt. perspective but why it's so important that you do so.

  • In a Brilliant Light: Understanding Light and Shadows7:02

    Along with poorly drawn wheels, poorly executed shadows are right up there as a major problem I see in aspiring car designer drawings. This lecture will cover an introduction to color theory, how light works and why shadows look the way they do. You will come away with a greater understanding of light and shadow. This should translate into concrete  improvements in all your car design drawings.

  • Shine Like it Does: Understanding Reflections7:21

    Making a surface look shiny has a magical quality to it. If you can do it well, that that makes you a magician. If you can do it well and apply that skill to your automotive design drawings, you'll have the ability to make your sketches really stand out. Being able to render a glossy surface is one of the most important skills a car designer can possess. Many aspiring car designers find the idea of creating reflection patterns confusing and frustrating. In this lecture you will learn the 2 types of reflections that exist, understand why reflections look the way they do and more importantly, how to design the patterns to express your design ideas.
