Wondersome Wednesday is upon us! Continuing @shanehunt 's Effective Vehicle Design class. Here is Assignment 1 Part 3 (turning the forms in space), and Assignment 2 (form versus function). As always, perspective is something I struggle with, but since these are not meant to be technical drawings, and therefore don't necessarily need to be mathematically correct, I think they work. Do any of you see anything that's disturbingly out of whack? Realizing that these sketches are no groundbreaking masterpieces of epic proportions, I nonetheless find myself flabberflustered at times, noticing that my scribblings end up looking somewhat recognizable as the items I meant for them to describe. Live and learn! As always, comments, suggestions, and monetary donations are welcome and much appreciate. Have a great day, everyone! -T

@Drawboy77 thanks my friend!

@Naters-Calderone I really like A as well! It's the most visually appealing color scheme to my eyes My 2nd choice would be D.

If a designer is going to designing for bleed they also need to be designing for gutter or clear space. That's rarely mentioned in any specs. If you have a 1/8" bleed, you also need a 1/8" inside gutter to keep clear of any import information/text/etc. more is better in this case.

@gavpartridge its just a flat rate for the whole thing plus royalties once the money they paid me has been made in sales

I have finally finished the last assignment. I think some props could benefit of some more texture, especially the armchair (it's supposed to be one of those massage armchairs), but I was having a hard time finding ways to make the scartches and wrinkles look natural, so in the end I used a textured leather-like brush Overall I think I'm satysfied for this first attempt at prop designing and rendering even though I think it can be greatly improved, but I first need to experiment some more with the use of lines and ways to render.

@Susan-Marks A pleasure Susan! What you're saying has a lot of sense. I wasn't thinking smart enough! Great love and respect!

I pictured an art nouveau style poster from your sketch! Since its a dancing event, I think you could add more gesture into the people's poses. Right now its a little hard to tell its swing dancing because their poses are a bit stiff. Maybe try poses that show off more of that swing energy (example, one of her arms may be up in the air, head thrown back a bit, or her legs swing up, etc.) I would google some swing dancing pictures as reference for your poses. . If you dont want to change the people then maybe use more curvy wild vines to give the piece some movement. Good luck!

Love those wolf designs. Your revision of Red also looks great, I think the hair really made the difference in that design, she looks more like a little kid in that sense. Great work.

This is a character concept sketch, I think I'm gonna use it for a comic book project
