Pocus Turbocharged February 11, 2011 Share February 11, 2011 (edited) As promised....here are my feedbacks. I'm treating you as my equal hence the more direct and honest feedback, you'll probably get these kind of tone at work. When you design your car...set your standards higher...eg: a 370Z fairlady, and ask yourself "Would I buy this car or the 370ZX?" if you answer is the latter, then you have failed. no hard feelings, hoping to see your improved "mark II" :) Edited February 11, 2011 by Pocus ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockngbrd Supersonic February 11, 2011 Share February 11, 2011 (edited) Dude... Not feeling it... Looks like u drew it with a ruler... Proportions all wrong... I praise ur enthusiasm but I'm not gonna tell u it's good, I tink it needs a rework... It looks to put it bluntly... rubbish imo. If u really want to pursue a career in car design, study hard, if you like, a stepping stone would be industrial design in TP. Work hard there, and after that head to Art Centre in pasedena, or the above mentioned schools. Go out and look at more design related stuff other then at car forums.

Lethalstrike Turbocharged February 11, 2011 Share February 11, 2011 (edited) Some technical specs needs a bit of revamp too... Since its a W12, it should be 12 cylinders rather than just 6. Probably this W12 has an oversquared chamber design due to its relatively low torque of 415 Nm in relation to the 645 Bhp which it produces, i guess this engine thrives on revs to produce this power? Perhaps you can try using free-hand to draw rather than ruler, so you won't be limited to just straight edges and angles.

Rb26dett Clutched February 11, 2011 Share February 11, 2011 Looking at what i drew 2 years ago , TS sure seems like a much better designer than me. keep up the good work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phluvcat 6th Gear February 12, 2011 Share February 12, 2011 Good start, keep up your passion ok? When I was in primary school (in the 80s) I had the same passion as you, I had several exercise books full of my car designs. My "car company" was LaCruz back then haha Seeing your drawing brought back fond memories of my broken dream. I followed what others told me and abandoned my love for designing. Now I'm rotting in an industry which I don't have any interest at all. So keep drawing and improving your drawings, and follow your dreams! PS if I can find my old exercise books of car designs, maybe I'll post some here wow that sounds like me...work feel like macham do paper work...knn...

KARTer 2nd Gear February 12, 2011 Share February 12, 2011 believe it or not, good car design can be drawn with 3 outline. stick to it and u can have award winning designs. true.... maybe we can take a look at some sketches, this will convince others how it can be done ... or 4 strokes, just to play it safe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
questionedfish Clutched February 12, 2011 Share February 12, 2011 Yep..like what i read in a magazine... (Wheels Asia) Quote from letter of the month section 'I think it's time for Singapore to have its own national car. The German have their Beetles, the British their Mini (until not too long ago, Americans the Chevy and even our neighbors up north have their Protons' good ambition. i look forward to your local made car Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go out and look at more design related stuff other then at car forums. imho its quite ok to start with free-hand concept sketch, then develop and fine-tune it from there...... free-hand sketches give more 'soul' although most big car manufacturers' design studio may start with 'digital' concept designs, that's probably many cars look quite 'soul-less' and 'rigid' nowadays.... just my personal views Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispie 5th Gear February 12, 2011 Share February 12, 2011 before you even learn how to design cars, learn how to draw one in various elevations, perspectives. and study the proportions of the cars that recognized widely to be a beauty. The human eye's assessment of proportions never change.. so that can act as a guide to how you design the bodyworks. Take a look at how the pros do it to give yourself an idea how you should begin. I think by doing sketches from posters, you will be able to learn a great deal as you will pay attention to the details as you draw. see below: im trained in architecture. And when we design, we start with a parti drawing.. it is smthing like a concept stroke.. with very little strokes and details.. but jz a general feel of the car.. and you fine tune from there. You do notice that the drawings i posted very often looks not like the actual car.. but when u put in on paper as a designer, you want to bring out the 'feel' you want to achieve.. and during the actual implementation, the design will then materialize due to practical constraints etc.. and you further fine tune.. the cycle continues. You can never achieve a perfect design, or a truly end product. So the challenge always is to know the point when your design is ready to be 'punctuated'. have fun designing!

questionedfish Clutched February 12, 2011 Share February 12, 2011 (edited) to add on, any designs should also be 3D / isometric etc, so that it will aid people in visualising how the actual product / object will look like 2D alone may not be sufficient enough.
