Effective Vehicle Design - Looking for fellow 'classmates'

[PieterVanDerBeek]

@robbery These are awesome – nice to have you on board again! :-]

[PieterVanDerBeek]

@Stephen-Dueck Nice render! Love the colours too... If I had to pick one thing I'd say the bow of your boat is a bit sharp / pointy in comparison to the reference (but that might well be intentionally to match the shape of the 'sidecar').

[PieterVanDerBeek]

@Bricz-Art Would you be interested in posting your assignment here too, and tag along with the rest of us? :-]

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Stephen-Dueck good work tho I don't think your boat needs that balancer at its side. small fishing boats have those things so that they won't get tipped over if there are huge waves beating their sides. since your speed boat is decently sized, it doesn't need a balancer.

[Stephen Dueck]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks! I did try to make the boat look smaller to imply that it needed the support. But I understand that it probably doesn't need it. I also just wanted to add it because it looked cool

@PieterVanDerBeek hey, I'd love to! I was just checking out the thread and afraid I was too late to join. Thanks for the invite:)

Here we go. Assignment number... I don’t know. If you’re seeing this though you know what I’m talking about.

This was a bit of a challenge for me but fun! Pretty rough around the edges for a first attempt but I think I may try this more moving forward. I’ve always liked the idea of coming up with images by combining two elements but I usually do it with animals and people or props and what not, never vehicles. I have a whole new world to explore now!

Please, feedback is always welcome from the SVS family. Thanks:)

Here I my assignment 4 I think. I started this drawing from one of my asymmetrical thumbnails. Let me know what you all think!

@Stephen-Dueck The shapes in this spaceship are awesome. I like how rough and worn it looks. Gives it character and tells a story!

Assignment 5 in the books. This is the KST-4S3X1 Research Cruiser aka Old Blue.

I didn’t bother spending much time on the background, just wanted something in there. Also, I really need to up my details game as I couldn’t think of much else to add to this ship before finalizing. Mind you, I didn’t pull any reference which probably would have yielded some good ideas.

Sorry for going awol, life got in the way. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up again soon. Love the drawings that have been posted!

[Lize]

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

[DaveLeekArt]

@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.

[DaveLeekArt]

@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.

[PieterVanDerBeek]

@Stephen-Dueck Love the colours! :-]

[PieterVanDerBeek]

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. :-]

[Lize]

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