If you want to learn how to design a car, you need to be able to
have a clear picture in your head of what your car will look like and
know how to put that idea to paper. I'm going to give you a few quick
tips on how to do this and design cars that look awesome!
Build The Body:
Obviously your going to have to start with the body of your car. A cool
trick that I use is to find pictures of cars that have the parts that I
want in my design, then I trace over them onto a piece of paper. Now
this can be the whole body and you can modify it by rubbing out,
resizing and adding new parts from other pictures until you get
something that looks good.
It might be a bit rough at the start,
but this is a great way to get a good picture down on paper if your not
so great at drawing.
Deck Out The Interior: When designing
the interior of the car you want to try and create as much space as
possible. It can be easy to shove in all sorts of mods to your car, but
this can turn out terribly if you have any intentions of actually
creating your car.
Adding Colors: If you have any photo
editing software like Photoshop you can scan your drawing and edit it on
the computer much easier. The professionals actually do the whole
process on the computer using drawing tablets and rendering their cars
in 3D. But we're not that advanced!
If you just add colors using
some pencils lying around the house it's going to be hard to make it
look good, but make sure to leave the paper white where the highlights
in the metal will be.
