HW1 Basic Shapes Syd Mead

Our first homework assignment was to study a piece from Syd Mead 
and push ourselves to analyze it's structure in basic shapes, 
as well as try to understand the lighting behind the work.

This is the original piece I chose to study. 
It has a strong composition, lighting setup, and foundation in shapes 
and I feel as though it would be a great piece to challenge myself in this study.

Started with rough linework to block out the initial shapes that I saw.

Committed to the linework a little more to lay 
the groundwork for the rest of the study.

Solid color to start the base before adding shadows and highlights.

Initial shadows to help with depth and sense of light.

Highlights added to emphasize lighting.

2nd pass of highlights and shadows to clean it up some.

Final touches on the shadows and highlights as well as added 
background colors to help the vehicle pop a little more.
