Shane Hunt's Effective Vehicle Design- class homework

[Lisa Clark]

@Leah I love the big wheels one!!

[Lisa Clark]

@Heather-Boyd thank you for your input! I agree. I want to keep playing with it because it's an intriguing idea to me. My son is very very good at STEM type stuff so I value his opinion. It's just funny cause he's so blunt.

[Lisa Clark]

@Heather-Boyd The silhouette method is entirely new to me but I totally get that it's brilliant. I just have a lot of work to figure out how it works. I keep trying and giving up but I'm going to keep pushing myself because I know once I figure it out I'll be one step closer to doing this professionally! Maybe more youtube videos?

@Lisa-Clark

thanks for the feedback!

[Leah]

and here are the next set of cars!!!

would love feedback
thank youuu

[Lisa Clark]

@Leah Hey, I think you did great. The weak one turned out awesome but maybe you could push the strong one a little more. I'm not even really sure how but I think maybe it could use a little more exaggeration. Maybe straighter lines by the front windshield?? I don't know what I would change if it were mine but it feels like it could be pushed further somehow.

@Leah i love the variation in the different versions of this vehicle. They each have their own personality.

[jenn]

@Leah The 1st one definitely reads as weak, and structurally falling to pieces. The 2nd one exudes a vibe of confidence, like a strong personality. I like that take on it (as opposed to physical strength).

[jenn]

@Heather-Boyd I can see that the gray ones have more deliberate shapes. Did you draw those after the red ones?

[Lisa Clark]

@jenn Yes, that's so true. I totally didn't see that and I'm glad you pointed that out.

[Heather Boyd]

@jenn yes! and thanks -I am trying to be more deliberate especially with shapes.

[Heather Boyd]

Multiple perspective practice of the Pontoon Plane.

[jenn]

@Heather-Boyd Nice job 'carving' the shape of the fuselage/plane body from the block forms, getting the perspective down, and positioning all the parts. The pontoons also look solid and buoyant.

[jenn]

Hi folks, here's my container ship. This shape was pretty challenging probably because it was just so massive. I had trouble breaking it down into basic shapes.

[Heather Boyd]

@jenn I agree the ship was harder than I thought also (might be posting this weekend or two weeks from now- depends on how things are going). I had trouble with perspective and the ship being in water. I think your "cargo" may be a tad large.

[Heather Boyd]

Today seems like a better day to post.

[jenn]

@Heather-Boyd nice work 'carving' the shape out of the block. It looks believable and seaworthy. I feel like the nose of the ship in the top image should curve inward more as it gets closer to the water. Thanks for your feedback on mine too.
