Citycar by Fabien Delval

Fabien Delval is a professional car designer and manager in automotive industry based in Lyon France. He has a blog full of his works and I decided to publish this citycar project proposal because it is very professionally done: good drawing basics like perspective - line work-proportions-body riflections-good details-great focal point on front left light area-cool design-credible creativity-good control of digital technique with no excess-good form language.

This is Fabien's description of his proposal "(2008) Just a little car to make a kind of blend between freshly introduced Tata Nano and Apple's simplicity values. In fact, this apparently inoffensive car hides a certain innovative potential, but this is another story... "

Car sketch tutorial: rear view perspective




In this video tutorial you will find out how to start a nice car sketch in 3/4 rear view, the method used by the author is a bit different from what I learned in school (we used to start always by drawing the wheels and the base of the car); in fact, the author starts by defining a part of the rear volume and some details first to get the right proportions and perspective.At the same time he does draw the center section to manage the proportions control.
The result is not bad at all and, the objective of this video tutorial is "a good car sketch done free hand". The digital program used is Paint which I like very much for the realistic effect drawing on the tablette.
