DVD Tutorial on the way!

By: Miroslav

Tutorial

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

BMW T1 Motorsport

“We are committed to motorsport, we intend to stay committed and our cars are the better for it”
BMW

BMW T1 Motorsport is a supercar devoted to BMW’s Motorsport success…

After many years of success on the motor track and plenty of models who won any kind of sport event in the world, BMW hasn’t produced anything like a car to celebrate it, yet? Why? When cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche didn’t exist yet, BMW already won plenty of victories at that time and proved to be a great company inspired from the competition.

In the late 1930s BMW 328 was a car capable of beating anything in the 2-liter capacity, no matter what the terrain is. The Model scored more than 100 victories in a very short time. It was BMW again who was capable of beating cars with three times its litre capacity in the early 60s, thanks to 700 coupe. Even later on, it was BMW who seized the world’s first championship recorded by a turbo-charged engine, it was BMW who delivered 6 litres of VI2 energy to motivate McLaren in epic confrontation with Porsche and Mercedes in global GT racing and win Le Mans on its debut and wrote down the record for speed by a serial car in 1998.
Unfortunately, this is information close only to people familiar with the sport history of the Munich Company. For the people who are not interested from that, BMW is just one car manufacturer. Manufacturer famous with the production of good quality motorcycles, cars and mountain bikes.
So I decided, car to commemorate the BMW’s Motorsport glory is needed…

V12 Limo

By: Miroslav

Portfolio

Started at the end of 2005, this was a study of a modern luxury car featuring the classical luxury elements & materials over the exterior body. Even the most expensive cars nowadays have metal or aluminum body only and nothing like exotic materials to compliment the good design or execution of the car.
This is the reason I decided to have such a concept included in my portfolio. Doing the classical limo or just refining and styling it with new materials such as gold coated grill for example was not what I needed. While having fun, I tried to be bold and brave when playing with this project, using finest quality red wood frame, high-gloss see through glass panels and high quality leather too.
I also planned some interesting conceptual solutions such as the front assembling panels of V12 Limo and the way the doors are going to be fixed for the body side.

Dacia Logan 2012 Sedan/Coupe

By: Miroslav
31-07-2008
Portfolio

Dacia Logan 2012 Sedan/Coupe was a project that was due to be presented on my interview for an exterior design position in the brand new design centre of Renault Design in Bucharest, Romania. I was given an assignment to produce some sketches in my spare time.

Instead of spending time digging into one direction or making a dozen sketches related to one design approach, I decided to have more diversity within my work by shooting in different directions – some of them not typical to the current Dacia production line. Dacia is a car maker known to be producing low-budget cars. However, my own opinion is that even the low-cost vehicles on the market should benefit from their own dignity (a chance to stand-out from the rest), attractive look or just a smart design that doesn’t let the vehicle down.
This is the reason why in my sketches I was mostly seeking for something that can help Dacia to “shine” on this already overcrowded market niche. Some of the drawings show a moderately aggressive vehicle but that’s a current tendency followed by all car manufacturers, other drawings show a vehicle with classic automotive attitude/stance – something that BMW or Maserati could possibly do. Although very hard to design for production, It would be very interesting if Dacia comes up with a concept/prototype based on the Logan but tending to be more like a limousine – a little bit bigger, longer wheel base, classical automotive attitude and design that isn’t shy to speak for itself.

Old drawings :)

Old Work

Here we are….with some fun stuff. I decided to post some old works of mine. We always have fun looking at our old paper drawings long time ago. It’s very cool looking at them and remembering what you inspired you back in the time….I remember when I was a small kid I watches the movie “Back Into the Future” …I hardly understood anything from the movie but the Delorean car made such an impact on my childish & innocent mind that I carried out sketching it for weeks. Of course….many things like this inspired me! As back as my memory goes (4-5 ears old…or even earlier) I’ve always sketched cars – anywhere anytime I find a place I like. Its really sad that I don’t have all my kid drawings with me, but for the ones I got my hands on and find interesting…I’ll do my best to share them with you!

Let’s start then..
