Been meaning to do this for a while, a artist inspired series/trying to imitate a artists style, first in the series being Daniel Simon a great car designer that everyone in the industry knows about but in case not or you’re not from the design background Daniel Simon graduated from Pforzheim in Germany, worked in the VW advanced concept studio and left after a lot of his work never left the underground... released his Cosmic Motors book last summer that I discovered in the CCS Bookstore and helped me gain inspiration whilst I was out of it for the first few days... the book is full of futuristic concepts and has given him a kick-start into the concept design industry creating the bike in the latest TRON Movie.
For the last five years learning myself to draw cars i can probably count on one hand the amount of times of drawn cars rather than designed them. I guess that’s kind of a big problem with my work, I need to get out there to some garages and just do some real life observations, take up close photographs of certain details observe the headlight jewellery and generally just see how shadows lay over the surface of the body. I have a lot of weaknesses that could just be ironed out by spending a few days kicking it around car garages – something i will defiantly have to get round to doing next summer. I just thought I would throw in this little sketch i found on my hardrive, seems pretty cool have a load of random things like this lying about maybe I will do a mini series.
