Let’s go back…waaaaaay back in history when we all had our lives ahead of us and dreamed big dreams.
I started drawing a long time ago, as far as i can remember. When i was a kid i wanted to be a comic book artist and i drew people with big guns, muscles, and chicks that were half nekkid and all that. I heard about Art Center pretty late maybe around ‘98 or ‘99. So when i started taking “Saturday High” it was exactly 10 fucking years ago! I literally dedicated my youth and my early adulthood to all this shit, so i think that since i’m going to be graduating soon, it’s only right we all take a look back.
This was “My first” car sketch fuckin’ Ever!…one of the first classes i took at ACCD was called “Industrial Design Techniques” with Kwan S. Kim. That dude is the g’damn best, he could draw cars, products, and people and his portfolio was ridiculous. I remember i wanted to be that guy for the longest time b/c he was mad talented and he always had these cute chicks dropping by his class to say what’s up. He would give us these handouts of his class demos and keep it as reference, the sketch above was me actually trying and this shows my first experience with Copic markers. This sketch is more than 10 years old! i can’t believe it. I’m old as shit yo…
When i was taking these classes at ACCD, i’d show them to people in my high school and you can trust that they were all on my nutsack j/k…damn! i was all about the backgrounds. I’d see sketches on the wall at Art Center pre-photoshop days, right along side big tape drawings and i would trip so hard over them. Those guys knew how to sketch for real, i remember trying to emulate the techniques and colors they used but i don’t think i ever came close…
After high school i took “Art Center at Night” courses while i was at PCC. I took “Intro. to Prod. and Trans.” with Thomas Park, who was my first mentor and pretty much taught me everything i knew about drawing cars. He passed away from multiple sclerosis right before i got into Art Center so i never got to show him my latest stuff. The sketch above is from one of my sketchbooks i kept while taking his class and it was around the time i got my complete prismacolor marker set, so i got mad scientist with mixing the colors. Plus they smelled good! i liked getting high from my markers, it made me see colors i never seen before j/k (don’t sniff your markers kids)
Who the fuck renders an RX 8? for real…This was my first car rendering ever. I got my ellipse guides and they weren’t even real ellipses, they were “Almost Circle” guides that i wanted to use and i got down with it in my sketchbook. Damn this is so painful…Hopefully i can dig up some more crap and make a part 2.
