    Thanks for the helpful and entertaining videos! Your video quality has really improved over the last few month in my opinion.
    The Re-Design series is great, because it gives insights to a car designers view of cars. Im looking forward to see what you come up with in the future!
    Could you maybe make some sort of video where you look at other car-/designers sketches and explain different drawing styles?
    When i look at drawings from different studios its always interesting to see that each designer has his own style of drawing and how different they can be.
    Maybe how to develop your own style? Or explain how your personal style has changed over time and what influenced it the most.
    Im just a noob in sketching, but i feel like the medium has the biggest influence on the style. For example, pencil, pen, water color or digital.
    It would also be nice to see a video where you compare the final design sketches of a car with the actual final design when its built. Even though this not might be your area of expertise and more an engineers thing.

    @sammarithinang_pannarith Před 8 měsíci

    I'm new to all of this. When you say to look down your pen, do you mean as though the pen is literally directly under you? Like, if you slowly raised the pen higher, it'll have the potential of poking out your eye. Or do you mean to have it off a few degrees? Just trying to understand what all to keep track of at the same time. Thanks.

    It is funny how as I'm a graphic designer who spend 4 good years at School of Applied Arts and Crafts, learnt to do superrealistic sketches of any object over the years (and be a really good at it), but the cars always had the problem...
