Dear all,

I am sure you’ve noticed my inactivity in the recent months, this is due to the fact that I’ve been quite busy at work and not only there… therefore I didn’t have much time to spend on the blog. But no worries, things are looking absolutely great and the financial crisis doesn’t bother me at all or reflect on my mood in a way :)))) There is a lot more to come….and I am catching up with it!

I’ve been thinking and organizing this FAQ page for a long time and it’s finally here. It is designed especially for the young and talented ones (of course, girls are always welcome!) passionate about chasing a career in car/transportation design. I’ve been receiving a lot of e-mails with different questions, on the base of which I designed the page, I hope you’ll find important information on how to start, design schools, preparing a portfolio, getting into the industry and so on. Professional designers also feel Welcome to contribute with their comments to the page!

best,
miro

Hello to everyone!

Time to get back to posting! Finally!

According to the statistics of this web blog I found out that many visitors are interested into Tutorials and “how to” make the things. Also, quite a lot of you contacted me asking for some help on how to improve their skills. Therefore I decided to share even more of my knowledge and experience with making a DVD.

However, before doing it (although I’ve started working on that already) I though it’s a good idea to ask the visitors what they should be most interested to find in the DVD. Is it that you’re more interested into sketching and how to build the line drawing or more into rendering. Maybe both.
In any case I have decided to put no less than 2-3 VIDEO tutorials on the DVD (not only 1 like the ones you find in the internet). In addition to this I will iclude some detailed step-by-step tutorials you haven’t seen yet and bunch of tips that I am sure will be pretty useful to all interested…

I am opened to any advice/request on what to include in the DVD. I’ll be most grateful if you give me a hand with this in order to create DVD that helps most! Feel free to contact me or post your needs at will.

Cheers,
Miro

Hi all!

Here is one tutorial that I made on a special request from Allan McDonald, owner of the website: http://designertechniques.com/. Click on post to read the full tutorial.

Here I decided to post a tutorial that might be useful for some guys. For others – might be just a reference of how another designer works. I tried to explain in 7 steps the creation of a rendering of mine I did for one presentation. Hope it is useful to you!

Let’s start with the tutorial.

I have used one of my Berman Design Competition renderings for this tutorial. Although I was allowed to modify only some parts of the vehicle, I started the render from the scratch. Another thing is that I am not a fan of the underlays at all, I use them only for specific jobs. However, for this render alone I used an underlay of the original concept car because I wanted to be as precise as possible. In other words, to apply my design I had to keep close to the original concept car.

Let’s start with the tutorial.
