        here are the things I've drawn so far. Still struggling with getting good lines.

          @Bricz-Art I just realized this was supposed to be a mash up of two boats.. I don’t know where I heard ‘plane and boat’ haha. Ah well, I’m going with it for now and will be sure to read the assignment details better next time.

            @Lize looks good! Don’t sweat the line work as much, just focus on the design concept. I’ve come to realize that being super tight with the lines and trying to make them look perfect almost takes away from the drawing. Just keep it clean and let it be natural and I think you’ll be happy with the outcome if there’s a good foundation underneath.

                Needed some time to figure this out – I keep mixing 'function' with functionality / mechanical complexity, whereas it's supposed to be wether it's fitting the character and it's environment, right @shanehunt? Not sure if by making them 'on-brand', they automatically fit though... Anyway, here's 4 vehicles you'd find in Thanos' garage. :-]

                  @Bricz-Art thanks. I guess you're right, but it's difficult to ignore all my little irritations with the lines in the moment 🙂

                    @PieterVanDerBeek I really like the top left design.. it reminds me of a sup’d up speeder bike from Star Wars. Well done!

                      This was supposed to be the 'strong' car. I thought stretching the lower part of the car to be higher and choosing a viewing angle from below would make it feel stronger, but it ended up mostly just looking like a flying car... 🙃 still a good drawing exercise though. Now to figure out why this worked in my head, but not on 'paper'.

                      Haven't done the lessons on shadow and colour yet, can't wait to learn how to make stuff like this feel more 'alive'.

                        @Lize It looks a lot stronger than your ‘weak car’. And great work on the perspective! :-] I think the angle from below could work really well if maybe it was grounded on a surface?

                          @PieterVanDerBeek love these designs so much!
                          I was just wondering
                          how is the class in terms of difficulty level?
                          are the assignments fun and more rendering or concept based?
                          thanks!

                              @krish-iyer It's in the second tier of the curriculum, number 6 on the 'path' – I think if you've finished the basics (perspective and light&shadow) and feel comfortable about it you should be up for the prop design or vehicle design class. :-]

                                  Hey guys, in my haste this morning I posted this to a random ‘SVS class work’ thread instead of in here - d’oh!

                                  Feeling good to have finished up the final assignment this morning. I was sitting on this one for a bit because I was nervous to dig into it - I’m still not very comfortable with vehicle design. But once I got started it turned out to be a lot of fun. I see a handful of mistakes afterward that will need to be corrected in the future but I think I’ve still gained a ton in the process from taking this course regardless.

                                  Looking very much forward to diving into the Character Design Course tonight. May I suggest we move together as a crew and start up a new ‘Curriculum Classmates: Character Design’ thread?

                                  4BC5F3B2-D1F4-4C73-BA25-4FABF1DC2280.jpeg

                                    For me it's a little early to jump into the character design class yet – still have some vehicle assignments to finish. But moving forward together as a crew sounds awesome, so please do and I'll try and catch up.

                                      Working on my four vehicles - taking so much time, between zen digital erasing and inking practice in my few minutes away from the kids. Rendering up next after a few more updates. Behold the Santa tactical sleigh! High form, high function...I think. Three to go after this.

                                        @granger49 now this is pretty damned awesome! Nice work:) And I hear you on the struggle of trying to find some minutes to get pencil to paper while raising kids - it ain’t easy! This thing looks badass though, can’t wait to see the final.
