DRAWING CHALLENGE : FUTURISTIC TANK (TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE)

So this challenge was to design a futuristic tank and have a drawing in two point perspective. I was told the final piece need not be detailed or coloured just to show a grasp of two point perspective and the "halfway to black" shading method. 

I started by deciding on something to based my initial designs around. I decided on a giant tortoise. as the shape fits that of a tank with the shell etc.

TANK RESEARCH DRAWINGS. 

I realised that the idea of legs would be a cool concept and whet to work designing in quick sketch for a couple of different design concepts. 

TANK CONCEPT 1.

This was my first concept but I quickly realised this resembled vehicles already done in film and game. so looked at shortening the legs like that of a tortoise and having a slightly protruding "head" to represent a drive room. I also wanted to add a more fluid curved look to my next concept.

TANK CONCEPT 2.

 This is what I came up with. I liked this design so decided to move on and produce a front and side view. 

TANK FRONT AND SIDE VIEW.

I liked this design but decided before jumping into a 2 point perspective drawing i would produce one of a simple hover tank with straight lines to get into it. 

SIMPLE TANK LINE DRAWING.

I first produced this I line drawing quickly sketching in the shape using boxes I had made in two point perspective. I then proceeded to add grey-scale shading, colour and finally clean the lines.

SIMPLE TANK NO LINES.

SIMPLE TANK FINAL.

Obviously this is crudely painted etc but as my first design I was more concentrating on the form and shape as well as getting the correct perspective.

I had originally planned to then move on to doing the same process but with my more complicated "Tortoise Tank" design however towards the end of the basis line-work I have had to leave it as it is as I have had issues with my Wacom Tablet. Once sorted I will upload the rest of the process.
