Hello Everyone! My name is Josh, I’m a Native Detroiter, and I’m currently enrolled at College for Creative Studies. I’m a  Industrial Design major focusing in product design. Even though I’m in product I have love for vehicle design and all things a like. My background before Industrial design is illustration and commercial arts. I like designing but I have a strong passion for illustration and advertising. I understand its more efficient to have a focus rather then cater to everything so industrial design is where I lay. My hope is to become a prominent interior car designer.

I think my design is influenced by illustration the most. I focus around sketching and inking in my early stages to cut rendering time and confusing surfaces. Some of my influences are Tomer Hanuka, Russ Mills(I just love his style), and Adam Haynes. Other influences I gathered over time from different animes (Evangelion, Gundam, etc). The use of color, material breaks, and functionality is very inspiring, and of course the neatly outline shapes and sections are easy to understand and read. Hopefully you will like my work in future post. Thank you.

This week I’m going to take a random sketch from my sketchbook and post it, throughout the week I’m going to revise and render my sketch and keep everyone updated with my progress. This is a healthy way to systematically get in the habit of a sketch process. A good sketch process is vital for conveying ideas and explaining a thought progression.

So here is my first sketch I cleaned it up in photoshop a bit. Lets just say its some sort off road bauhaus vehicle check in tomorrow for a update.
