Join John as he discusses how he blends digital and analog techniques to create vehicle design artworks that evoke a sense of handcrafted design media nostalgia. He describes how he leans into the powerful support of 3D and 2D digital applications such as Alias Autostudio, Gravity Sketch, Keyshot, Solidworks Visualize, and Photoshop CS6 to supplement traditional media like texture markers, ballpoint pens, gouache, and alcohol-based color dyes on paper. John’s method of creation follows the logic of ‘start messy, end clean’ to ensure early-stage creative flow is uninhibited. He then progresses into a refined and carefully executed final image that displays a high level of precision, thought, and craftsmanship.
