It looks like water-colors.
I was also a lil' bit surprised when I saw this picture, because I had an understanding that water-colors are not used by car designers...
Can anyone specify this a little for me? Thanks.

Hi
Yes certainly designers don't use colorwaters to render their design works but i think you can use watercolors for some part of the car to get better results in your rendering.But you should be careful to choose your watercolor type.

Why not? One of the portfolios one this site has some Skoda rally cars in watercolour that look awesome.

You can use watercolors if you want, i've seen it done before. Back in the old days they used to use guache (a type of watercolor) for those photo-realistic final renders, but nowadays we have photoshop/painter etc. Most designers prefer markers simply because they're easier to work with, quicker and cleaner.

Hi JD
Can you render your design only by watercolors?
I think watercolors are unusual tools to render,Markers are more useful...

Bit of a generalisation here but markers were invented to make mediocre designs jump off the paper in the same way that people put massive alloys on Novas. There's a lot of watercolour used in architecture, an industry thats been around a lot longer than car design; maybe 'cos when the likes of Brunel were knocking out pics of the Iron Bridge 250 years ago he had trouble reaching for the Chartpaks.

Actually I was chatting with Abraham Derby down the beer garden of the Stag the other day and he was going on about how people always though Brunel did the Iron Bridge, and how he'd used AutoCAD Light for most of the work, AND how Joseph Bazelgette used Catia and Autodesk paremetric modelling to design the London Sewers, no words of a lie, but then he staggered off, tripped over a table and slid into the fag machine so I have no idea whether he was telling the truth.
