Green Toaster's Car Sketches
-
. . . I'm not wild about this car but I'm posting it because I think you can see how to move from one stage to another . . . if you look at each image, and you know a little about SU, you can probably figure out how I do these . . . I'm sure there's a better way . . . no doubt . . . happy Sketching,
Brad

. . . another ultra-quicky - something a wee bit different . . . ugly different . . .
-
Not that anyone will probably notice, or care, but I'm taking a two week hiatus - there's nothing wrong - I need to refocus my priorities because of graduate school, work, computer problems, elusively-wicked guitar riffs & life in general. I must put the needs before the wants - this will be a short, necessary adjustment phase to get things back on track.
I'll post again on 29-Jan-09, or so.
Happy Sketching - rock on!

That last one reminds me of the Volkswagon Buggy

Wow, I just spent almost 3 hours going through this thread (and others that were referenced), downloaded two rb's to try out too. From your first posted picture to your most recent work I enjoyed seeing how much you have improved in the last year. Doing the organic curved and rounded surfaces have been the bane of my SketchUp experience and seeing what you have accomplished has given me quite a bit of inspiration to try this out. Keep on keepin' on

Thanks for the comments.

Well, I couldn't keep myself from SketchUp any longer, so here's another very quick concept sketch.
Happy Sketching,

. . . turle car . . . will it lay eggs?
-
. . . another quick sketch - what else, eh . . . this one is in what I call "Concept phase 3" . . . needs lots of more work & development, but you can get the general idea - I hope . . . it's hard to believe this thread has over 25K hits - when will it end?
Happy Sketching,
Brad

. . . I don't get much time for lunch, but here's one I did yesterday . . . the crunchy peanut butter and raisin sandwich was good . . .
-
Almost a month without a post? What's wrong with me? Grad school, that's it.
Here's another super-quicky concept sketch, nothing special . . . I really miss being able to use SketchUp!
Happy Sketching,
Brad

long time dude glad your back on!

Another model!
I can’t understand how you can keep producing design after design. Although many share similar body shape, there are tonnes of them! If you’re like me, you would keep a repository of models, yours must be over the top.
If you have any spare time feel free to check out some of my latest models:

Once again...

I've spent the last hour and half going through this thread and I couldn't come up with a single excuse why I never bothered to check this out before. I really like your method. First off you start with a shape, and then it gets better, and better, and better...
So far I got to page 39 and I'm really impressed.

Thanks - coming from you, that's a very nice compliment - encouraging.. . . here's a quick sketch/idea for the nose shape . . .
-
. . . another quicky . . .
-
the wheels could be a tiny bit bigger but thats just me.
-
. . . found this one in the archives - I have several dozens of these things - never got past a certain stage before I ditched the sketch and moved on . . . I must stay out of my archives - I use four computers - each has a bucket full of these things - someday I will gather them all together and flush them down the digital toilet . . .
Happy Sketching,
Brad
-
. . . sketch for the day . . .
-
. . . this was too ugly . . . almost blinded me - had to delete them . . .

Hy Mr. G ..nice to hear something for u.
U do have a unique style and u really don t what to try something new..maybe time doesn t let u to improve ur cars ..i realize that adding details to a car makes it a lot better and that s what is missing on your cars..and of course details need attention and lot of time..but u said it right sketchfor the day cause they are like sketches and this is what Sketchup is made for
Happy sketching!Elisei
