The step-by-step course to understand car design and sketch them like a professional designer.

You want to sketch cars, but you don’t know the rules and haven’t got the correct education…

You found many resources on the internet, but you need a more complete course that brings you, step by step, from 0 to sketching cars that look like cars. 🙂
You heard things like "be careful with proportions!" but you don't really know what it means. Your cars still look funny...
You struggle with perspective and symmetry because a car is a more complex form to sketch than a product.
You don’t know where to start.

If this sounds like you, you'll need to go back to the basics and progress little by little toward creating realistic designs and more emotional sketches...

Master the theory and technicality behind cars in order to create designs which are visually correct.
Practice over and over with underlays and detailed walkthroughs, so that you understand how the theory applies when you construct a car in sketches.
Improve your lines and develop a creative methodology to create new designs and add new details instead of sketching the same design over and over.
Understand the logic behind the different types of cars so that you can become a more well-rounded designer and explore new areas of creativity over a large amount of vehicles.

The All-In-One Sketching Course

The step-by-step course to understand car design and sketch them like a professional designer.

Theory, proportions & perspective techniques that make your doodles look like a real car design.

As a professional car designer myself, I prepared this course, so you can learn all important basics of the industry. My objectives are to make you confident to sketch all different segments of cars. All this into one complete course which starts with the correct volumes, proportions....
Understand the technicality behind the car that makes them look the way they are, so that you can create realistic sketches and build credibility with your designs
Understand the relationship between the different elements of the car (wheels, wheelbase, doors, greenhouse, shoulder line, etc...)
Master proportions so your cars are spot on and look professionally made
Fix your perspective issues so that you can sketch the same car in multiple angles
Create wheels and ellipses in any perspectives and angles

Line weight, speed and creativity techniques that allows you to sketch & explore freely.

Learn how you can create real volume, contrast your sketch and apply the correct shading to define surface quality.
Reinforce the theory, but also practice developing your speed and start sketching without thinking.
Adjust your movement between line quality and line weight in order to have cleaner sketches with more dynamism and emotion.
Be inspired by car details and implement them in your designs. Quickly learn to develop new details and create your own ideas.
Start by copying me... but also learn how you can develop your own style.

Practice, practice, practice... But practice faster and by expending this knowledge to all different types of cars.

As much as theory is important, you will also need a good amount of practice, especially knowing that all types of cars follow different rules. For this, we will need to focus on your practical knowledge, and I will sketch alongside with you the different cars using the practice files.
Understand the logic behind the different types of cars so that you can become a more well-rounded designer and explore new areas of creativity over a large amount of vehicles.
