MARKER RENDERS
With image reference taken from the internet, the Copic Cool grey marker set was used for the SLS AMG sketch.
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Exploring different finishes, the concept car on the top was more of a less reflective basic sketch, just so that the surfaces are differentiated and clear. To the right, the Mini Cooper S was done with a little more detail and a higher contrast giving it an artistic appeal to it.
Some Products rendered using markers, with picture references from the internet. The faucet was one of the first marker renders, to understand chrome rendering. The Pistol and the microphone were personally chosen and gave me a good understanding of how different surfaces have to be rendered.

Package Ideations
The wheelbase is made longer to increase the handling capabilities of the car while cornering or taking fast turns. The ground clearance is made moderately low to reduce drag and give the user a nice low sporty feel. The visual weight of the car is at its lowest point favouring the aerodynamics and aesthetics.
Occupant Packaging/Seating position
The occupant pacaging for this car is created in such a way that it gives the user a low sporty feel in a very luxirous way, with the seats lower than a usual sedan, longer dashboard, lower roofline and a more horizontal flat driving position. The rear passenger gets adequete legspace and good headspace as well for a car with a low roof

SPEEDFORMS & CLAY MODELLING
Initial Thermacol Model The initial thermacol model was made using high density thermacol and different types of sandpaper
Final Clay Model
The final clay model was done using automotive clay by Kolb Technologies, a German company. An intergrated stand was made to give the model the stance it needed to look aggressive, as if it was moving rapidly forward.

HONDA DESIGN
Brief: Design an exciting car for the young generation of 2025
Target Audience Enthuiasts aged between 21-35, Upper Middle class. Petrol Heads, People who are focused on having a well styled coupe hot hatch, adventurous, socialites, fun loving, also who attend track day or track events.
Drawing inspiration from old Honda models, one more very useful innovation was the separation of the front and rear bumpers into 3 parts, that was seen in the Honda city Type Z, so in case of a minor collision, only the side panels of the bumper needs to be replaced. This is a major selling point and also very economical for new drivers, youth, and also students.
Sleek looking front removable panels from the front bumper make it convenient to repair or replace in case of a minor accident. The user will save a lot of money changing only the damaged side, rather than changing the entire bumper.
The car should be cheap on maintenance and affordable for youngsters, It should look and have all the features like stylish rims, bodykit, and a good sound system with a sub-woofer, and once in his possession, should be maintenence free for at least a couple of years.
My concept: Honda Redux (Hot Hatchback coupe Honda Redux Engine type: 1.5L DOHC VTEC Drive Train: FWD Transmission: 5 Speed Manual Wheelbase: 2600 Length: 4060 Height: 1460 Width: 1765
‘Redux’ means ‘to bring back the past’. Personally I feel that Honda cars had its best design era around the time of the Civic FD1, and the Accord/Inspire 2003-07. Hence, my styling aim was to bring back Honda’s old design language in a new and futuristic way.
Similarly, the back serves the same purpose as the front, the only difference being the center being black. this way, scratches are less visible and cheaper to replace without paint.
