I don’t usually have strong opinions about most vehicles, one way or the other. The exception is the Tesla Cybertruck, which I believe to be the ugliest vehicle ever to deface planet Earth.
Seeing more and more of them the past year, despite my low standards for acceptable sketching subjects, I refused to sketch one (if only on principle) because I didn’t want to look at one long enough to sketch it. Sketchwaiting near University Village recently, however, I spotted one parked near the sidewalk. I still had 10 minutes to kill – the maximum length of time I could tolerate searing my eyes.
As I sketched, trying to dredge up something positive about it, I had to admit it’s relatively easy to draw: It’s entirely made up of straight lines.
Ah, Tina, when it comes to automotive design you a woman after my own heart.

The annual car show is coming up! That's where I'll find automotive designs I really love! :-)
Deleteits interesting that with so few lines, you hit the essence of the wonky angles. I admit, I find them so visually uncomfortable that I can't look right at one long enough to try to sketch it. Anne HwH
ReplyDeleteExactly... I always feel like I've somehow fallen into a dystopian future movie. ;-)
DeleteYou captured that horrible design perfectly! I agree that they are the ugliest vehicles EVER!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to meet anyone who thought it was attractive!
