This all-in-one guide takes you inside the artist's studio to learn firsthand how to conceptualize and draw new fantasy sci-fi vehicles. This book gives fantasy illustrators detailed information on the following topics: Designing three-dimensional vehicles using a perspective grid, schematics, blueprints and linear and axial measurements; using real-world inspirations-from modes of transport to animals and organic forms-as the basis for more fantastical forms and creations; illustration techniques that allow you to create realistic three-dimensional vehicles: line, depth, shadow, coloration and rendering the surfaces of various materials; and step-by-step tutorials, six in all, allow you to create sci-fi mashups of cars, copters, jet fighters and battleships or use these designs as the inspiration for your own creations.
