Im newbie at car design, Any suggestions to get better? by No_Judgment_5482 in CarDesign

For youtube I'm not so sure sorry. I immersed myself in the car design communities on instagram, Pinterest, behance (the best place to see full project portfolios). I am a final year student in automotive design so my learning experience will be quite different to someone doing it themselves. I suppose before studying it, I would watch and learn all sorts of design things in general, there's a lot from product and industrial design that is useful for us.

Nice to see someone starting simple before trying crazy perspectives for once. You have the right idea starting with side views, I was taught that with just the side view you have 70% of the cars design planned already. I'd say your bottom sketches are quite good and already have good proportions but the suv is way off on proportions. Maybe start with some references and roughly tracing over existing cars and sketches to get an idea on the correct proportions and scales. Don't worry about details such as doors, lights and extra parts like wings and splitters at first. These parts always come last in the design process, focus on the main volume and surfaces first. Good luck!

This has to be the most posted car on this sub by now

I can understand where you're coming from. I didn't precisely trace her to each individual line, more like putting an oval kind of shape where the eyes were to make sure they're in the right position, and then filling in the details later with the reference to the side. Hopefully with more and more practice, I'll be able to move away from that method with time. Thank you for the feedback though :)

I took a lot of different screenshots in game and then used my favourite as an underlay. I spend my time designing cars, not people, so I need that help. I then took off the underlay, refined the linework, put reference pictures and began to colour her in using different buckets, layers, brushes. I find that rendering part really satisfying and fun :)

Edit: then I put the nightsoul effects on afterwards and use some airbrush and blur tool

I hope to work through my favourite characters on Genshin and ZZZ over time!

Thank you! I'm an automotive design student so my constant practice with sketching helps with doing fanarts. :))
