I totally agree with you, like there is a saying "everybody needs to chase their dreams, everybody must achieve success so they can understand that it's not everything"
I believe for a person to become a car designer or generally a designer you need to have a really strong character and also tons of self belief. Its a career choice which until this day and age not too many people understand and thus make it difficult because you have a limited number of people to ask advise from and on the other hand you receive friction from those who don't know about what you are doing.
I'm 15 and I'm car guy. And I've been drawing since I can remember really. For like 2 years now I hardy want to become a car designer. I feel like my dad would like me to do something like an IT guy or car diagnostic guy more. But I just don't feel like it's something which I'd be happy doing. I don't want to do something I don't love just because it's well paid - you know all my friends already know how much will they earn. When they ask me I don't know because it's not that important for me. When I'm drawing it just feels amazing. I'd love to change the way a lot of these new cars look. But at the same time, I don't want to end up designing a Dacia Logan's side mirror. I know somebody has to do it. But I have higher ambitions. I guess it's not very humble from me to say, but that's how I feel it inside. I wish my future job will be something I won't consider job. You know now I go to school where we learn all subject and everybody around me keeps telling me that now me studying (things I don't really care about) is the best they've ever did because now when they have a job they work every day and do it just so they can pay their bills. Maybe I'm wrong but I still believe you can get a job which will be your hobby - better than studing that nonsense which I'm studying right now. I don't want to be that type of a designer which starts at 9am and ends at 5pm. I want to have a job which I will love and when the 5pm will come, I won't just forget that I'm designer and figure it out the next day at 9am.
High ambitions are nothing to feel bad about, that's great! If you want to change the way cars look today chances are you'll have to start by designing a side mirror or a front bumper, that's how you get started. You might love it or you might hate it. If you love it, you're all set congratulations you're part of the 20% of people who actually enjoy what they do. I'm sure you'll get there just try different things and see what sticks.
Well. I think we all have to go through the cycle to realise what we want Keep pursuing what you want to do Things will fall in place, I guess? We don't know where we'll end up. It would be too boring if we did. Right? Anyways. Nice sketch as always.
If you want to help people will your skills then you are definitely doing that very well. I'm glad you're in your happy space. Thank you for your selfless actions.
Its not a matter of question . Its my passion specifically when it comes to cars so yeah . I honestly do not care about the details . Its like loving someone without expectations . I graduted from a design school in Milan ( NABA ) so i can relate to your story . Im ready to do whatever it takes for what i have been dreaming for . Great channel btw . Keep up the great work !
I had this video on 'watch later' for a couple of days. i should have watched it earlier, very inspiring video. I dont know about others but i found it very motivating. Now, i know what i want to do. thank you, keep sketching and keep posting. It helps people like me to inspire.
Hey, I might be almost a year late... but yeah, I do agree with you. I've heard so many warnings from my older friends of being a corporate slave leaving you feeling some kind of emptiness, wanting some kind of fulfillment. So even though I took industrial design, I do so much more illustration and graphic design work on my own time, and while I'm still in university I start making my own little projects - publishing webcomics, online store, etc. Might work, might not, but at least I have something when I graduate. Thanks for bringing up the real story, I'm happy to hear that running this channel brings you that fulfillment.. And of course thanks for all the homework help on sketching, you're a hero!!
Im a car guy and i love sketch and then make a model. I love read sketching books you realy help me with with tehic.I think you are the only one Who understan me. Like People look at me and say that is Just a phase. But am only 15 and its my life. Poz from Serbia
@sava dim you can't tell a dark skinned person to change their skin colour to white because genetically it's impossible. You can't tell a person to change their sexuality either because it's genetically hard wired at birth. People don't understand or want to understand this because they conform to the 'norm' whilst others don't. They're ignorant. We survive in groups of like-minded people. You know who you are that's what matters. Find a group of people you can relate to and be yourself around and forget about the rest.
I'm more or less in the situation you were when younger. Finished my bachelor in industrial design engineering and went traveling for a year afterwards. Got to the point now where i gotta make decisions on what i really want to do. I know for sure I don't want a 9 to 5 job in the future, but my main priority now is getting experience. And that turns out to be pretty tough unfortunately... The competition is huge and that makes me unsure about myself and my skills and find it hard to apply for certain positions. Ultimately i would like to start something on my own, to be free in whatever i decide and please, but I feel the urge to get this first real experience first. Not sure why telling this, but i'm most probably not the only one in this situation. Thanks for the videos and would love to see a video where you explain design projects of your portfolio (as long as you are allowed to by the companies you worked for)
First off don't think or focus on the competition, just be the best you can be and focus on improving that. I've spent too much time comparing myself to others only to find that by doing that, you're limiting yourself and what you can do. Portfolio video coming up in the future!
Iam a graduate Engineer and have realized I have passion for designing cars. I totally agree with Sketch Monkey chasing your dream will take a lot of sacrifices and people will not like your decisions but at the end of the day you are the one living your life. I love the way he talks and all continue to follow Sketch Monkey's channel. He makes me see possibility in my impossible dream of designing my own car. Thanks pro@Sketch Monkey
Loved the story. Very relateable since I'm in my bachelor's course in India. One question. How do you keep the bic pen so light? Bic pen after a certain time gets really dark and doesn't do the light strokes. How do you manage to keep it so light in the earlier strokes?
you are the best Dr. Monkey. Love the passion you show in drawing any thing , but I cant be like that , only sporttttt carsssssssssss lol would you keep up the good work we all love it!!
I've always had a passion for car design and tbh it's the thing that drives me forward. I've struggled for years to improve my sketching techniques in the hope that one day I can mark a career like Peter Schreyer. Not sure now it's worth pursuing anymore because the politics of university was bad enough for me. I don't know if it's the same experience for careers as meeting your heroes only to be disappointed by them. I've invested years of my life so i'm not sure what i can do career wise that will give me the same pleasure i thought i would get with car design specifically. I wish there was an answer written and flashing with neon lights. Suggestions for future videos - maybe you can start an interactive competition where you ask people to design something they can upload to Instagram page and you can critique it and give suggestions for improvements on a youtube video.
I still love car design and anything car related. Any investments you've made can be turned into something useful even though it may not be clear now. Sometimes the only way to realize what you don't want to do is to actually do it. I like your suggestion, I'll keep it in mind, thanks!
1. Thank you for sharing your journey, i am starting the 3rd year (of 4) of industrial design master in israel. 2. I would happy to see some more basic sketching technics. Exercises that i can do ragulary to get batter in my sketches. (I did a lot of strait lines, i'm searching for something more interesting)
Am impressed with your sketch because am a genius in car design, listen... I didn't have a degree on it, but is God gift" I even sketch more than those that has degree on designing, but getting a job makes the difference to reality, so what is your advice as a one who has an experienced in this domain, please am looking forward to your opinion...?
I am Oscar from Ghana (Africa), I love drawing cars though there's no car designing school here... Well I'm hoping someday I might get help to go to a car designing school in other places.. It's my passion and my dream tooo as well, so I need more guidance from you....
I’ve done some research as I’m thinking about going into industrial design school next year. However I don’t want to drown in debt. Some people say you can enter the field without a degree. So my question is: how would you go about learning all the necessary skills without going to school? Is it even feasible? Is it worth going to school? A video response would be cool
You know I am crazy enough to think that you can learn whatever you want online these days. I think in many cases college/universities are the biggest scams out there. As I said in the video, nobody ever looked or asked for my degrees or pieces of papers from schools, it was all connections and what value you provide for the company. If I need to hire someone for my company, I'm not going to look at your grades, I'm going to look at what you've done whether that's inside or outside of an institution. If you want to become a pilot, doctor, brain surgeon etc sure, go to school. For everything else - it's at your fingertips.
TheSketchMonkey yeah I totally agree with u especially with the cost of school being so high and yet its increasing year after year. The reason why I asked is bc many jobs posts say they require a bachelors degree, but I guess that’s where the connections matter. Thanks for the response
First of all, I love what you do for people like me. I have been practicing to draw seeing your videos, and I am finding the difference in my work. I am in my final year of my Bachelors degree in machanical engineering. I have been working on several projects as a designer for my college, but designer in the sense of engineering design. I am really interested in car designing and have been looking for universities for masters. Seeing this video did not really change my mind but I would like to know your opinion on doing masters in car design after bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. I need your opinion because you have been into that industry and I can't contact any person better than you for this.
My opinion on studying car design? That's pretty much this video. If you're set on doing it, by all means go for it. As I mentioned in the video everyone's different, I just know it's not for me.
Actually I have one more thing to ask here, if I can do masters in car design without a bachelor degree or diploma in any design course? also I have few more questions, can I ask them in your instagram dm?
I loved the truck you are doing I have some doubts can you help me how to sketch them 3/4 Front View and Side View Could you make a video about it some reference models like Mack Anthem or the new Freightliner Cascadia If you can I would appreciate it very much. Thank you
Hey Marouane, was checking out ur design pro pack. Noticed that ur asking for credit card info but I don't have a credit card. Is there anyway I can buy it otherwise coz I would love to have it. Thnx
If you want to be satisfied and fulfilled- come to Christ the Son of God. The reason for this is that God created us for Himself, for His glory. That is why people seek something great that will satisfy them. This story is an example of how a person sought satisfaction and fulfillment, but is still unsatisfied. Jesus Christ gives life; He is life. He took our sins on Himself and died instead of us. He lives and if you want everlastingly-complete life, come to Christ! After that, anything you do for Gods glory- will have everlasting meaning and fruit. If you like design, and you will glorify God in that- then it all will have a meaning; but only after you are born again(your nature is changed, which only God can do).
I totally agree with you, like there is a saying "everybody needs to chase their dreams, everybody must achieve success so they can understand that it's not everything"
I believe for a person to become a car designer or generally a designer you need to have a really strong character and also tons of self belief.

@@Thesketchmonkey to be honest designing the bumper can be really fun!
Well.
I think we all have to go through the cycle to realise what we want
Keep pursuing what you want to do
Things will fall in place, I guess?
We don't know where we'll end up. It would be too boring if we did. Right?
Anyways. Nice sketch as always.
Nice said!

Adjust the pressure of the pen with your hand for light strokes, for dark just press hard
It feels nice that you could share that story with us because it's so relative to what we think
God Bless Man, you motivate us all.
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Do more of this !!
thanks for hepling people :) u re the best
you are the best Dr. Monkey. Love the passion you show in drawing any thing , but I cant be like that , only sporttttt carsssssssssss lol
would you keep up the good work we all love it!!

2. I would happy to see some more basic sketching technics. Exercises that i can do ragulary to get batter in my sketches. (I did a lot of strait lines, i'm searching for something more interesting)

I really like the way he talks
I loved the truck you are doing I have some doubts can you help me how to sketch them 3/4 Front View and Side View Could you make a video about it some reference models like Mack Anthem or the new Freightliner Cascadia If you can I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you
Show some of your old sketches or pictures that u drawed
It would be great
Have a bunch, coming soon
please make a video to master the front views....ASAP😅
Could you do a portfolio video please?
Yes I'll make a video on that in a future video
Please finish that truck and show it, I love your awesome design! 😎
If you would give personal lessons in the internet, it would be great, myself im want to get in a university, and i want to be prepared.
I will be opening up a membership site later this year for anyone interested in personal feedback and sketching/career advice
From about 11:30 onward, I'd say that's PRECISELY why being an architect is THE WORST kind of design professional.
Hey Marouane, was checking out ur design pro pack. Noticed that ur asking for credit card info but I don't have a credit card. Is there anyway I can buy it otherwise coz I would love to have it. Thnx
Hi Nithin, we're working on adding PayPal as an option. Planning on having it available this month. Thanks for your interest.
Thank you, looking forward to it
I want to design and own my own car company so bad
I'm new monkey lol here big thanks for you I'll watch a lot of ur video ▶
