 The face of any vehicle, often referred to as the down-road graphic, communicates a great deal about the owner's personal image and emotional state, as well as the DNA of the brand. Without getting into any specific brand, I demonstrate through sketches how a variety of emotional states can be projected by the vehicle face. Vehicles can project an image of confidence, optimism, pride, assertiveness, or even anger.   Using Sketchbook Pro's symmetry tools, this tutorial shows how a variety of vehicle front ends can be rapidly developed.
