How To: Car Sketch Interior With Josh Reed (Pt 2)So at this point my perspective issue Is in check for the most part, but graphically things are disjointed. Now that I understand where things go and the thickness of objects, I can go back and start to relate areas with similar graphic break ups to make the sketch look more consistent and cohesive. I then sketched out stand alone sections like the steering column on a seprate sheet of vellum to manage my work load and not confuse myself. Makes it easier to then scan it in, and replace it digitally when the time comes.
I re-sketched the steering column on a separate piece of vellum to get my perspective right. It took me a few tries, however I found re-tracing to be the easiest for me.
I then corrected the angle of the dashboard in the sketch as well as worked on integrating some of the shapes and forms a bit better. This drawing happens to be heavy on linework, so I’ll choose my final go-around in the computer where I can mask sections and color areas easily. First, I need to select the right light source.
This and the previous sketch both contain elements for the next round of cketching. I don’t usually have a set or predetermined number of re-traces. Typically, I’ll sketch something out until I’m satisfied or just plain tired.
