Some quick char sketches, but this week I've mostly been studying vehicle and industrial design. This is my first real attempt at a conceptual vehicle. I decided to get into vehicles for a few reasons, firstly because I needed to learn how man made stuff works, and fit's together. I needed such a piece in my folio to round it off, also style wise. At first I didn't think I'd enjoy it, because granted - industrial design and vehicles are hard and perhaps not as appealing as characters. But when I started to learn about it and concept it, sure it was challenging but the most fun I've had with a piece in a long time. Really surprised myself, you never know what you like until you try it. There will be a lot more vehicles to come! I would love to see more vehicles on the art sketchbooks, just treat them like you would a character, you start to feel your way around forms and experiment with how for example it's balanced depending on cockpit location etc. Inspired by John Parks awesome stuff.
