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
