How_to_draw_a_car_-_designing_the_Lexus_LF-SA

LEXUS PRESENTS HOW TO DRAW A CAR My name is Shahidul Alam, I am a designer here at ED2 and I am also a recent graduate of transport and design from Coventry University and upon graduation I have been working here for the Lexus Division I am going to show you how we drew the LF-SA just a bit of detail of the processes that were involved what we're doing here is essentially basically getting the foundations in so as you can see what I am working on now is getting the perspective, just to trying quickly draft it out I am trying to determine the proportions of the car and the stance, and what I am starting with is essentially the wheels we believe it's important to have something unique in the sense of expression of style so as you can see I am working with pencil here and I am really trying to define the outline of the car just so the shape is much more evident from all sides it is a Lexus it's very important to get the spindle grille in which is a key signature at the moment for any Lexus you are working on it's always important to ensure that you are just free because sometimes when you start restricting yourself that's when you realise it is becoming too normal at the end you would put the logo in just to give it the Lexus feel once you are confident with your general drawing it is important to get the highlights right, the shadows right and then that way the car itself will start to speak so I have now scanned in the sketch and we work to develop it in order for it to become a real car in the professional environment we are always racing against time so what I am trying now to define are the crucial lines design is really important in the sense that it shapes the future to some extent, I mean not just aesthetically but from a design point of view we are able to sort of capture or understand where the needs are, what people are expecting and not only that, the beauty is you are actually working to create a product that not only fills a need, but also helps enrich the lives of other people whether or not they know it from our point of view we feel that sometimes whenever you see something, you might not always like it but when you do, you do not always know why and these intriguing questions are things that we always look forward to answering so I think from that point of view, design is pretty important it might be something that is considered, not as important as it should be, but it really does drive the future
