This workshop comes from my entry into the Agorapode AGPContest, which is a monthly car design concept art challenge run mainly on Instagram. The organisers give you three prompt words to create your vehicle from; in this case they were ‘snow’, ‘coupe’ and ‘retro’.
The competition is judged on creativity, the design and the final presentation, plus how well you stick to the given themes. And at the end of this one, it was my design that came out the winner!
For anyone who wants to work on their vehicle design concept skills and practise the ability to work to a brief, I would absolutely suggest entering these types of art competitions. I do it regularly in between design projects to exercise my little grey cells and to keep improving my sketching skills.
