Vehicle Design course
-
Ok @ArtofAleksey you have inspired me to keep going even though I’m going slowly! Weak car from assignment 1. I’m not much of an inker but got er done. Not sure my car looks weak enough but it does look sad I think. Maybe some of the lines in the mid section and rear of the car could have been a little wobbly now that I’m looking at it again. It’s great to start learning how to be aware of these things
-
@Coley yeah it broke my brain trying to make a car look weaker. But it was fun!
Im glad you’re picking up the pencil again!
-
The rest of assignment 4. I reallly liked the Asymmetry exercise. I really struggled during the using everyday props. But i think i tried to turn them into vehicles like spacegoose does rather than use them as references to add to a spacecraft idea from my thumbnails. I might redo it.

@ArtofAleksey I love the way your mind is working. Keep it up!
-
@shanehunt thats the first time someones ever said that! Hah thanks
-
I have narrowed down which thumbnail designs i liked the most. Might do all of them one at a time after this course because i am enjoying this.

@ArtofAleksey Great choices. Remember, you don’t have to draw it at exactly the same angle as the thumbnail image.
-
@shanehunt oh yes I’m super excited about that part, playing around with what these would look like from different angles
-
I have been watching too much star trek and thought about the kinds of jobs in space. Space botanist? It’s not done yet but i was excited to share my progress
-
I changed the back wing for drawing area reasons. I’m really into this. Gonna do colors next then move on to the next part.

@ArtofAleksey This is rad. Excellent work.
-
@shanehunt it was really fun to do. This is really going to help me with the webcomic I wanna make. Thanks again for your help.
Do you have more feedback you would be willing to share? I would greatly appreciate it
-
@ArtofAleksey these look like a whole lot of fun! I look forward to other ships in the making!

Your drawing looks really cool but there are a few technical flaws, if it matters.
I used to race a Hobie Cat with my dad. It's been many years but what you drew looks a lot like a jib sail. A jib is attached in front of the mast and behaves kind of like a parachute to catch the wind then the wind speed is coming from behind the boat.
The front edge of the jib attaches to a cable, I believe called a stay that runs from the top of the mast to the bow of the boat, to make one side of a triangle. The free corner of the triangle has a rope, called a sheet, on it and that attaches through a block and tackle to the deck. The sail is sheeted in and out by tightening the rope or letting it out.
A main sail would be a right triangle on the back side of the mast with the vertical side attached to the mast and a pole called the boom holding the bottom of the sail straight. Just as the cartoons depict, when you change direction (tack) the boom will swing across the deck and smack you in the head if you're not fast enough.
The pontoons look like a reed boat which would likely have ropes binding the reeds and holding the curve of the bow. However that rope would never be attached to the block and tackle holding the sheets for a sail.
The block and tackle holding the sheets slides from side to side on a rail attached to the deck, depending on which side the wind is coming from.
Finally, the ramp/steps on the bow of the boat would catch the bow wave created by the movement of the boat through the water and weight the front end, pulling it under water and possibly causing the boat to pitch-pole forward and turtle, ie, land upside down in the water.
I've given you enough vocabulary words to google. Hope it helps. And it is a cool looking picture.
Finally, this stirred a lot of wonderful memories of sailing on Lake Michigan with my dad. Thank you for that. He passed in 2016 but we had good times. Cheers!
