So the evolution idea is going very well. The car is starting to l0ok more and more like a real concept every day. The car is also getting harder and harder to explain. Since I dont really have a whole lot to say today but for the moment i'll leave you all with a few designs to take a look at...

5th concentration

i decided, that since it could get a little boring doing the same car over and over, i thought it'd be cool to modify it. I think doing ideations in design is an awesome way to really get a set of ideas transitioning into something you are 100 percent satisfied with. What ive decided to do is add some wierd side skirts that flare out from the car a little, more definition around the wheel wells and I decided to forego the futuristic lit up wheels for just classic rubber... it always looks best that way. Im still looking for ideas so if you have any let me know.

feeling no motivation today

have you ever had a time where you go to sit down and try to do a piece of art and just feel so lazy that you can't focus. Yea thats pretty much me today. I went to do my fourth piece and nothing... probably artists block. I hope i can get somethin going today, but if not tomorrow. I think i may get all my sketches done before i do the finished work. Ive decided that i'll do a one point perspective of the side of the car; its definately going to be tougher than it looks but hopefully it'll get done by the end of this weekend.

man i have come a long way since last week. From being totally frustrated to now being able to create an awesome supercar from my fingertips... Satisfaction. So far it's totally original with a front bumper that looks like a bugatti with scoops jutting from the grille to a rear that looks like a ferrari but 50 years into the future ( and yes we will get to 2060, because the 2012 armageddon is a joke) So far so good. I am totally enjoying this challenge and now that i've got all my basic ideas, i can begin modifying it. If anyone has any tips for me i'm open to suggestions.

freakin' out!

I am SO frustrated!!!! i know what I want my car to like like, but whenever I go to put it on paper, I cant seem to get the perspective right. It gets screwed up everytime, and I dont know why. The car is always disproportionate and it just doesn't look as good on paper as It did in my head. I am so confused and i'm in dire need of help if I have any hopes of getting this done in time for graduation...

I have just learned a ton about rendering through tutorials and it sounds to me like markers + pastel + gouache for highlights and lowlights sounds like the best way to make a car as realistic on a piece of paper as it is in real life. The chalk is often used for high contrast, smooth blending and a good sense of sky reflection. The markers should only be used for the brilliant actual color of the car and gouache should be used sparingly in order to show the very deep reflectiveness (usually for the little white glimmers you see from direct light sources. Now that I have figured out the design tools I'll be using, all I need to do now is figure out my design and then this project is going to start looking awesome. At this stage all I have is the Citroen GT for basic body design (its big and bad yet still seems to maintain a sporty look). Im still open to ideas.
