Carrying on with the design theme seen 2 days ago in my 4C Stradale (I'd link to it, but alas I'm posting this via my iPhone), I've decided to go a new direction:

Hill climb GT style road racer (a la GT3, but for Sunday morning canyon carving instead of Sunday afternoon track attacking).

With this, I've decided to include some unique details, such as the genuine 4 leaf clover to replace the standard Alfa Clover badge, a belt strap to keep the hood down, aluminum rear spoiler that is cable actuated and swings up under hard braking, a lockable clamshell hood as well as front bumper brackets for an included set of plexiglass canards.

Unfortunately, this drawing isn't yet done - I have about another 2 hours of work ahead of me, especially in finishing the Diablo style gold centerlock wheels. The reason I'm posting now is because I've just devoted 4 hours to this.

The drawing of the main car itself is 9 inches long and 3 inches tall, which means this is a massive undertaking, especially since it's entirely hand drawn with only pencil crayons and a standard BiC pen. Hopefully when I'm done, I can give it off to one of you guys, to hang on your wall!

In any case, I'll be posting more "Mid Night" info soon, Japanese car stories, car reviews, my personal automotive photography as well as more designs, so keep your eyes peeled on my Kinja!

Regards.

Have you taken any formal art courses to do this kind of stuff? I've sort of wanted to do design and, being curious, would like to know of your experience in drawing cars.

Great work as usual.

I've actually never gone through any courses or education for it. It's purely a hobby at this point.

In fact, I'm so poorly educated that I failed art class in High School because I'd continuously draw cars instead of actually doing work.

Everything I do is self taught. I can also work with Photoshop and Autodesk. Seen here is some of my Photoshop work.

I wish I could offer advice, but all I can really recommend is that if you want to go this route, to have drive and passion!
