THE BEST STEPS TO TAKE WHEN DOING A CAR SKETCH.

 STEP ONE The first thing to do is start with a simple line drawing, make it light not thick so that any mistake can easily be cleaned without any trace of pencil mark. Imagine and visualize what the car will look like, then try putting it down on your drawing sheet by starting from the car front down to the top, from top to the back and then back to the front(starting point). Make sure the windshield and the tyre space are included in this process. The synopsis is to try and get the shape of the car with the windshield first with a simple line drawing.
 STEP TWO Attach tyres to the tyre space in the front and then back, also with a simple line drawing. Next is to make thick pencil shading at the car base without affecting the tyres. Make it look like a shadow. This is the shortest and simplest part of the drawing.

THIRD STEP By now you would have been satisfied with your drawing. So freely trace out the faint drawing by making the lines thicker. From this stage, you are 50% sure of a job well done. The main job starts from the next step where you need more concentration on how the face of the car will look like.
 FORTH STEP After you might have figured out what you want the face to look like, then attach the head-light, bonnet and bumper all in a simple line drawing. This is the most difficult part were you are bound to make more mistakes. After getting what you want in the front, then sketch the side mirror, door and others. When you are satisfied with what you have, trace them out by making the lines thicker. You can now say yes I am 90% done. The last stage is just the finishing touches.
 FIFTH STEP The last thing to do here is to show the real shape of the side view by doing some necessary shading. What do I mean when I say were necessary? That is places involving curves, maybe place that shoot out or in. After all these are achieved, then you are good to go. You can try these steps on your own to see how easy and helpful it will be to you. I have applied it and it worked for me. Don’t forget that you need visualization to back up what you intend drawing, be it a car, dress or what so ever. It is not a must to finish your drawing at once, you can stop drawing if no idea comes up. Then continue when you have another idea to add to what you have before. Sometimes it takes me days to complete my designs when I lack instant idea. If you need some assistance, contact me on my email. Thanks for reading.

NEW STYLE

    This design was sketched 6years ago, three years after my secondary school. It’s possible you can do a design and latter find another design similar to your own idea. Some years after I did this sketch, I saw a BMW jeep that looks similar to this design.
        My intention then was to designing a jeep with a back different from others. After imagining, I came out with this special design. It was my favorite design. It took me two days to achieve, this is because ideas sometimes don’t come at once, you may get some today and the rest in two days time. So not a must to start a drawing and finish it at once, all you need is time and concentration. My dream is always to make a difference my dream is make a different in the automobile industry.
      I don’t really display all my drawings in this site, I do preserve some for clients. Thanks for viewing and God bless you.

A COMBO DESIGN

I like combining designs together, to make a different. Check-out this design. it’s a combination of a volks wagen Beetle and a Bus. If you observe carefully, you will see that the face has a little architecture of a volks beetle, but the back side show it’s a space bus. It doesn’t mean that I got my idea from the volks, but that is the only car I can use as an example to qualify the facial structure.
I will say that it’s easier for me now because I first make my sketch on a rough paper sheet then transfer on the main sheet and amending where necessary. It only took me one hour for the rough sketch and thirty minutes for the main drawing. That’s all I have for this. Thanks.

UGLY FACE WAGON

Hope by now I don’t need to tell you which is old and which is new. You can now differentiate them base on the level of professionalism. This is a wagon car with two round head-light, it has a flat face but a curved back, imagine how it will look like. Everything about this design is all my idea, neither from any car I see nor dream. It took me two days to complete because it have to think and visualize.
Thinking and visualizing are the main secret used when designing anything that has not existed, you have to think of different idea that can suit it, and then you visualize which one is best to use. If you love drawing and find it difficult, try this two secrete it will help you to grow. Thanks for viewing my Blog.

MINI BUS

     This particular bus was really an idea from the Toyota bus people normally refer as hummer bus. I tried to create my own idea out of the hummer bus. As you can see, it looks a little like that but more beautiful, so you can call it a new model. Don't really have much to say on this, just see for yourself.
     It didn’t take me much to achieve, only six hour did the job. I have hundreds of designs, but I have to keep some for business purposes. I find it easier now compared to then that I couldn’t use my talent well, thank God for helping me get more better now and thanks to Google search.

5 STEPS I TAKE WHEN DRAWING

When ever am doing my designs, I don’t just draw but I take some steps which makes it easy for me. So what are these steps?
1. I start from the left or right side of the wind-screen depending on the direction the car would face, after which I proceed to the bonnet, from their I move to the car top.
2. I stop at that top, and move back to the bonnet to draw out the face of the car.
3. After getting the front, I carve out the shape of the front tyre extending to the back tyre, and at thesame time the shape of the back. At this stage, the shape of the car is revealed partially
4. The next step is to show what the face would look like by adding the bumper, head-light, the trafficator and others.
5. Next thing is to fix the side mirror, doors, side glass and so on.
6. The last thing I do is the shading, to bring out the curves and the full shape of the car.
After all this stages, then I can say am done with my sketch. If you love drawing, you can try that on your own.

INTERIOR DESIGN.

Designing cars without it's interior will not go fine, so i thought of doing the interior together with the body. I came up with this, not my first trial anyway, but this is my third sketch of interior. It was not easy for me to complete but i have to try harder. I guess my trial was not bad enough. it took me two days to complete.
  I still have to try more so as to come out with something better than this, like i always say, practice makes perfect. This interior is meant for a  big jeep, well spacious and balance. Although i didn't draw the body.
  I really got many challenges in interior sketches because it's more difficult than the body designing. It requires too much of ideas to achive, but i know ill get there. thanks for viewing my site.

I was really a car freak when I was a kid, I never see a car I love without having my own design, that is impossible. Some years ago, a car called limozin which really drived many crazy because of its uniqueness, especially the rich men. It was longer than the normal cars we see here in Africa. Surprisingly, it has a comfortable facility in it. The television, refrigerator, bar and so on. As a kid, I decided to creating my own idea and putting it in drawing by sketching my own design. I just draw them for the fun I have in automobile. Generally car like that are called stretch. I came up with these particular designs. The first drawing has every normal facilities a normal limo has, but the difference in the other is that it has a Jacuzzi where you can relax your body with a worm or cold water. But am still looking forward in designing the interior for you to see how it will look. am working on it. This is all I would say for now on this, hope you like them?

AFTER MY FIRST RESEARCH

Like i said, i went throught research to upgrade my performance. after my first research, i came out with this sports car. it reallt took my time to complete, it was a little difficult to do the curves but finally it looks better than what i have been drawing.
      I'll continue trying till i become a professional designer which is my target. i have always dream of becoming an automobile designer. Am really working toward it, and i believe it shall come to past.
     Right now am planning to improve in the interior designing, when am through you will see them. Hope you like this.

     It's a space wagon with sharp face, flat back, actually i didn't name this one. hope you like it? mor are to come.

FIRST BACK VIEW DESIGN.



Really find it difficult to draw back views, front views looks more easy for me. I noticed drawing only the front view would not make me a good designer, so I got enhance my skills. This designs were my first that concerns drawing from the back instead of front. This once really took me three days each to finish, but no at a go. I came out with a drawing, but was not really impressed with it because it doesn’t look well matured. So what do I have to do? Of course continue drawing and making more research to be better next time. To do better in anything you do, you need to continue trying till perfection. Although am not perfect now but at list far better than before. When I start posting my new designs, you compare it with the old once.i really got a lot of work to do here.

AN IDEA FROM MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS (BEAST)


Actually this particular design was as a result of little idea I got from the Mercedes Benz E class. Looking at the design, the head- light looks like that of E CLASS, the E class has double circle head -light while mine is not really circle. I was really in love with the E CLASS when it was out some years back, so I decided to design a car similar to it and named it E clash. It didn’t take me much time to do the designing because I already have a full idea before the design. Only some hours (2-3) to archive that. It’s just like another model of E CLASS.

THE CAR CALLED TRIANG

      Hello friend? this is another of my design back in the days. Another idea from above not from a dream.
It looks triangular in shape, so i named it triang from the word triangle, another two days drawing.
      i can state my mistake here, let me start from the head lamp. I needed to do some adjustment for that, and also the up of the car needs more curve it's like it is cut off.
    This is all i can say for now, thanks.

My old drawings

         This is my one of my first drawing in my secondary school, it's a space wagon bus with a fishy face.This particular design was like a car i saw in my dream the night before i did the drawing. It took me a day to design it because i have to think, imagine and visualize how the car is saw in my dream look like.
After the drawing, i named it spaish bus, the combination of space and fish to make up the name. I saw no mistake in this drawing at that time, it looks perfect to me. But after my research, i see lot of mistakes. 
        



 This was not from my dream but just through imaginations and observations of the cars i see around me. It took me two days to complete it. i know you wonder why, ok! this is because my designs do come from above, i may draw for two hours and stop, then cotinue in the next ten hours when new idears come in to me. I know a designer will understand what am saying. you can hadly design at once, you add when idears come into your memory.
   Still have many designs for you to see, enjoy my start up designs for now, before i proceed to my newer once. THANKS

How i started

               Hello friends, am Uzonna Ebuka Chukwujekwu, from Uruagu, Nnewi North L.G.A, Anambra State. Was born on 28th of May 1984, the last child of my parents. And also a Christian.
              I enjoy drawing right from my childhood, mostly based on automobiles especially luxurious buses, sports cars and jeeps, It was all fun to me. I was very good in drawing to the extent of been popular in my primary school. At primary two, I began to make toy cars with cardboard paper, fix a tyre and a rotators which makes it to move with the aid of a battery.
               At primary 4 I was asked to make a double deck bus by my head mistress which I did, and latter came out in the News paper. after all, noting positive came out of my effort. What a county? At primary six, I went for a drawing competition called wizkid97, at the end of the competition, I took the first position and my school was very proud of me. I continue designing in my secondary school and so on, but was not really serious about it. In fact i latter gave up because of my education.
             After my education, i decided to go back to my natural gift, i made some research to see the platform in which professionals use in designing to have an improvement to my skills, and to know what it takes to be an automobile designer. So i began to practice for a better designs. 
            Talent is a special gift from God in which a person is been born with. You don’t need to learn it because it’s inbuilt in you. I decided not to throw always this talent, but to show the world what am capable of. If you are out there and you have something special in you, don’t give it up. I know the country and people around you may not appreciate it or even discourage you. Expose it and keep on praying to God almighty, one day it will get to the right destination. First, am going to show my designs write from when I was still a kid. Hope you appreciate them. God bless you all as you visit my site.
