Description This year and now is a special moment, 3 things to celebrate! First thing to celebrate is my 20th birthday in march. and for these special events you will get 2 deviations – this is the first one. The second will come soon, so expectations are allowed to be made!

I have lately especially improved my style – it might now also be the time to improve the material! I'm saving money to get a wacom cintiq 12 inches and i'm also interested in a big package of copic markers (like 72 markers)!
but i kinda couldn't wait that long and i also have to practice before really getting the stuff! So a friend told me that there is a shop where they have some pro-like markers. I went to buy some (6, to be exactly, 4 greys, 1 blue and 1 yellow (but not such an aggressive yellow,more a descend one) and had to try out. the colours of markers were actually chosen after having seen DrTr's Ford Ka [link] , but they are not completely the same, as when being in the shop i hadn't the colour names with me and i thought that a yellow would be nice...
in the shop they had ShinHan Art Touch markers [link] and i have the colours 3 and 5 cool grey, 3 and 5 warm grey plus cerulean blue and canaria yellow...

The coupe on the left was therefore my first drawing with cool render markers (they're awesome!). For the style, i was also inspired by DrTr's work mentioned above. For the roadster on the right, my second work, for the refs i was inspired by at94's style [link] . for the additional colours (red, orange and that bad blue that i used for the windows – shouldn't have done that last one) i had some other simple markers.
i think i prefer the coupe more than the roadster, the second one also got a clear problem of perspective (interiour and front are seen from a higher point of view than the rest), but yeah, i'm still practicing and these were like the first ones, so please consider that!

so, what do you professional markerers out there think of it?

You have amazing talents there. I mean, how is it possible to color with markers so nicely?
(of course i'm not a markerer lol)

thank you! and well... i found that with these special markers it was actually not that difficult! of course it demands quite a lot about understanding surfaces with those reflections and so on (but for reflections you can find a lot of inspiration in real life and on da) and having different tones is quite useful (i still need more, so i can still improve this!). And the black lines are actually ballpoint, so thereby i didn't directly have to create very clear lines with the markers (would have been quite difficult in the beginning )!
so, if once you get the chance to buy special markers (like shinhan or copics or others), get informed and then just try out! that's what i did!

Nice stuff!
Hardly noticed the perspective on the roadster being off, great designs too!

I use ShinHan markers too, though they're slowly getting replaced by Copics 'cause you can't get ShinHan markers in the shops here
ShinHan's are great, but the colours on the caps can be a bit different to the actual marker colour -really, really annoying!

If you can get any full grey range (cool, warm, neutral, tonal, etc) you can get real nice gradients with them, if not, then alternate numbers (1,3,5,7,9 or 2,4,6,8 ) will do the same thing

also if you can, pick up a copic colourless blender - best.pen.ever

Great stuff!

thank you very much for this helpful comment!
like i said: i'm really new to this area, so i got a lot to learn!

the perspective of the roadster: well... well, i know that there is usually something lacking in my drawings (something in the perspective or it's leaning forward when it shouldn't in the sideview or some lines should be straight and they're a a bit in another angle)! problem is that i don't really see it when drawing – just when i flip the sheet around and look at it from the back, then i start to see the mistakes! it's kinda annoying...

i had already seen that there is a colourless blender and saw what the effect should be, but there weren't any in the colourless compartment!
but now, i went to get some new ones, so now i have a colourless, 2 more greys (the cool and warm 1s), 2 greens (56 and 59), a further blue (66) and peach (18), so i'll have to try out with these!

but thank you for your help and i'd be thankful if you'd give some further ideas, suggestions, critiques and so on on my upcoming marker works!

No worries

Perspective is such a pain to get right, but once it's right it makes everything look amazing, it helps if you stop every now and then during the sketching phase and have a look, put it on the floor and stand on a chair, flip it over, etc, different angles help make weird perspectives stand out, also guide lines are key- especially the wheel axis's

Looking forward to more!

Are you studying in some design schools?

grote-design In reply to MustafaAsan [2011-05-22 21:36:39 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i actually study some Design Management over here in Switzerland, but it's actually not the course where you learn how to draw cars and work with markers. so, most of it is self-taught and 20 years of practice!
but i'd like to attend some car design courses afterwards, maybe in italy. or in german or london or elsewhere!

i actually would've been allowed to attend the IED torino, but i firstly wanted to have a wider knowledge about design and so on!
i also hope for you to be able to do it... good luck for your future!

Hey g d, Der kann den Ford Ka iwie nicht finden?! Hätte ich durchaus gerne gesehen.

Also, der Roadster und das Coupé sehen mal wieder echt scharf aus. Schöne Farbgebung hast du angewendet. Ist imo sogar besser, als bei meinen Copicarbeiten^^... . Aber ich probiere mich ja auch noch aus.

Bin schon gespannt auf deine nächsten Werke und vllt. versuchst ja mal eine Dame mit den Markern xD. KA, ob ich da mal was in die Richtung machen werde. Reizen würde es mich *g*.
