Vehicle Design course

[shanehunt]

@Coley This is excellent so far! Glad you’re enjoying the course. I like your caricatures here. But I feel like you had a hard time pushing certain aspects of the reference. This third drawing had a lot of nice motion lines pushing the direction forwards but then you may have had a hard time ignoring the shape of the front door. I think making that door shape more closely match that of the rest of the image would strengthen it.

[Coley]

@shanehunt ah, yes, I see your point! I'm coming from a representational oil painting background where I was very highly tied to reference so that influence is hard to break away from! Thanks for pointing that out I'll be more aware of this going forward!

Hello these are my attempts at part 1 of the assignment

[Heather Boyd]

@Aleksey successful attempts I might add.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd thanks! Im digging it. Cant wait to see what unfolds.

[ArtofAleksey]

Ok here is the “weak” stance. I have to say im really happy with it even though it looks more sad than weak, but I still love it. But figuring this Out made my brains hurts.

[ArtofAleksey]

Heres the “strong” pose of assignment 1

[Coley]

@Aleksey very nice! I wish I had slowed down now on mine lol, I kind of rushed them. looking great, I love your strong and weak ones too. I haven't gotten to that yet

[ArtofAleksey]

@Coley yeah I’ve been trying to teach myself patience because normally I’d rush through it because theres so much to learnnn and i wanna learn it allll but if I slow down I can nail it better.

[Heather Boyd]

@ArtofAleksey looks pumped up on good old gas. I can take on any road feeling.

[TessaW]

Wow guys these are so fun! Makes me want to take the course.

[Coley]

@ArtofAleksey agreed. I typically even watch the videos a few times. It doesn't all stay in the memory banks. I have the same repeated Aha moments over the same information lol

[Coley]

@TessaW do IT lol no pressure but I actually didn't expect vehicles to be fun and they are!

[ArtofAleksey]

@Coley yes! Doing the assignments though (which I usually skip) helps me retain the info

[Coley]

@ArtofAleksey yes I always do the assignments. Except I haven't done the ones in Lee's storytelling class and keep meaning to!

[shanehunt]

@ArtofAleksey great work! Very interesting choices.

[ArtofAleksey]

@shanehunt thanks! I kept trying different things that didn’t seem to working the way I envisioned though so this was my result.
