- World renowned designer, Frank Stephenson, critiques his subscribers submitted designs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week, I cannot believe the standard of submission from someone of such a young age. At seven years old I didn't even know which end of the pen you had to write with, let alone draw a car that well! As always, thanks so much to everyone who submitted. I appreciate the courage it takes to put your work up and have it critiqued in front of the world.
Enjoy,
Frank

Thanks so much for clicking on this video! I love giving back to my subscribers for all of the support that you show me so I hope to have done that in this latest episode. Let me know in the comments what you think of the sneak peek of the new FS Merch which is coming EXTREMELY soon!!!!
Enjoy,
Frank
the third car is a koenigsegg jesko
Mr. Frank, forgive me the ignorance but how do i send a design to you. I would really appreciate an expert's opinion, i created some concepts for Ferrari, but I don't know if they are too generic. Remembering that I'm not a designer, i don't have much technique either, i'm just a passionate automotive design enthusiast. Thank you very much in advance.
How do we submit designs?
For those asking how and where to send in designs for critiquing. Look at the first video in this series where he explains how. This is the link: th-cam.com/video/4lSjdLApU8I/w-d-xo.html
@@viniciuss7792 There was a first video in a playlist Critiquing your designs. You have all the info there.
The fact that a legendary designer is coming and taking his time to make TH-cam videos is so wholesome
Yeah definitely!!
Everybody needs a purpose, even when you are retired ! His channel grew incredibly quickly, but then again he's not a nobody. I'm watching all these videos, I can't even draw
@@julien.le.createur Definitely I agree!
@@julien.le.createur Thanks Julien but I’m not retired.
@@FrankStephensondesign what's your latest project? Is it to secret?
(Lagths at his own cringe comment.)
Frank wearing a Frank t-shirt is SO Frank.
To be quite Frank, that's something Frank would do
Frank frank a franking frank.
@@raypulido6328 at Frankfurt
I like how the reflections in his glasses match his shirt and the reflections of his shirt in the table.
Thats a lotta frank!
Paul here, sketch number 2 in the video. Thanks so much Frank. Really appreciate the advice! I'll put it to good use!
I really liked your design, kudos
Great work on the design. The front kinda reminded me of the Isdera Commendatore.
Nice sketch mate. Where do you submit the sketch for this?
Lookup a HotWheels Chicane. Kinda similar huh?
@@wes.9353 It is. Roof line especially. Good spot!
Frank: "Your sketch is amazing, you might think your sketch is amazing but heres why its not" hahaha i love it, its hard judging these I apprectiate it frank, you have to be tough enough to push them to improve but also motivate with a pat on the back, and create an expectation of hard work ahead.
And this ladies and gentlemen is what TH-cam is all about. Watching experts in a way that historically only a very select few could ever. Thank you Mr Stephenson
Its really heartwarming to see a legendary designer with such a rich design history taking time to help the new wanabe future designers, me included obviously..
I'm 14 and I gotta say I learned a lot from this great man.
Frank: Looks like a mashup. Christian Von Koenigsegg: What
It's an old one isn't it. By now he'd probably agree with Frank.
@@benedux Well, check out the "Jesko". Not that old in my opinion
haha, I also wondered why Frank didnt recognize the Jesko xD
The fact a literal 7-year-old draws better than I do is honestly depressing and heartwarming at the same time.
Wasnt a 7 year old
Honestly kids can do so much more than adults in terms of special skills since they learn so fast.
I was literally a Chinese calligraphy champion, and won silver in a chess tournament against teenagers when I was like 6
Now im just some dude commenting on youtube.
@@Undecided_ yeah, prime age is 8 years old, it went downhill real fast when your school started serious learning
I can bearly draw letters decently and this 7 yr can do it like it was nothing.
@@tatacraft791 im glad im not the only one
Hey Frank… whenever you retouch other people’s design they just magically come to life. Are you a magician 😄. Love your channel.
That 7 year old is astonishing, they've got a bright future ahead of them. That Stratos/430 looking design has promise too. I really love a wrap around windscreen, anything that hides or disguises that A pillars is an automatic win for me. I rode bikes for many years before getting my car licence and A pillars came as a shock to me, someone put a big post exactly where I want to look.
Thank you
Can we just appreciate how he uses a 10 cent pen and somehow makes magic happen on the paper?
Got to say Frank, this channel is like taking a breath of fresh air. Always the case when listening to information from someone with experience. These videos are a treasure, thank you. Also thank you to whoever edits them as well. Appreciate the behind the scenes efforts.
Hi Frank!!!!!!😊 It's Aran, just started my TH-cam channel. You are my inspiration! I did the Maserati I think when I was 6!!!
Frank: 90°, 90 degrees
Kid: I can count to fwree!
Three.
@@jwalster9412 😳
@@jwalster9412 thanks, Cpt. What'sAJoke
@@tungabunga4107 *luagths in irony
@@tungabunga4107 I was joking too.
That echoed “Welcome baaack” was hilarious.
Dig this guy’s style and sense of humour
Appreciate that these reviews are turning more and more into structured design lessons. A 30 second section at the end with suggestions for furter reading, and the transformation would be complete.
My 13 -years older brother drew a cabriolet on one of my school books in first grade. This was so inspirational for me, that i was on a pretty high level a year later.
I love that Frank does it all with a cheap Bic biro. No fancy stuff
These videos are really good for learning tips and tricks that can translate to not just sketching cars, but drawing in general! Thank you Frank, for taking the time to give something back to the community.
These videos are interesting and fun even though I don't design anything even as a hobby. The last time I did was probably when I was 6-7 and drew some box-like 2D wire cars. Watching these videos sometimes makes me think if I should try to draw something more realistic now. This probably means that you're doing something right here, Frank, inspiring a lot of people
Thanks Frank, your videos are very informative for me. I have always been interested in car design but I never got the chance to have training in this attachment. Thanks, please keep doing this.
I would say, that adding contrast might actually be the most essential thing in creative process - line size, color value, shapes, textures, materials, speed, tones... you name it.
How true that is.
What I wouldn’t give to have more frequent uploads from Frank ❤️
Another greatly informative video, Frank. That last vehicle was a trace of the Swedish Koenigsegg Jesko hyper Car.
By the way, you seem to be a person of all kinds of style. Your T-Shirt merch is really kool, and has a nice looking fit.
Captivating analyses as always Frank! You have inspired me to get back into car sketching after a 13 year hiatus and I will put your tips to use, with a goal to submit some drawings to you one day.
I always learn something new watching these videos. Thanks for making them Frank!
5:50 Nice furoshikis! I've got a pair in light blue. 😁👍
This channel has been one of the greatest things to come out of lockdown
8:13 just a simple stroke of his pencil, made the car look much appealing. He's so talented
I love drawing cars but I was not drawing like that at 7 :) Amazing. I was not encouraged to draw more get an apprenticeship. I started drawing during lunch beaks when I was a mechanic fabricator 2005. I used to give sketches away. School pretty much put me off pursuing car design. I was told I was too thick to stay on. I was top in woodwork metal and art and design. It was all I wanted todo along with metal working panels. I enjoy reworking existing old designs. But to get a real glimpse of your designer mind is fantastic and very insightful.
Amazing channel and your amazing, your info and advice you give to viewers.
Would you create a video on drawing materials tools etc. I have no idea where to get those lovely marker pens chalks pencils etc.
Great suggestion Edgar! 👍
@@FrankStephensondesign I genuinely could cry with joy. You are fantastic I'm 37 but I feel the enthusiasm I had when I was in my teens dreaming of being a car designer. I cant be a designer but I'm into coach building and custom cars. I still need to brush up my rendering style tips from a master would be fantastic. Tools those elipes guides. I draw by hand but would love a even more expressive designer style. I am a self taught.
I'm designing a 67 Eldorado Town Car. One day I hope to build it for rear my life goal. But would love to do a polished rendering using those amazing chunky markers.
A town car in the traditional sense is socially not relevant now let alone the 60s but Sbarro is another influential. I also enjoyed your designs as a kid. Just to reply to a comment is heart warming. Sorry to be so gushy 😃 my real name is David I get called edgar by my mechanic friends because I love old cars bikes etc right old edgar.
I would at school would during lunch breaks go to the library and study the industrial design books and art. I even got the school library to get more books 😀 alas things did not work out. I was told to leave school even though I wanted to go to art school uni. Undiagnosed autism and dyslexia.
Your guidance teacher says you are too thick to stay on you wont be a car designer. Very crushing knocked the confidence. So I let it go.
Tips not just for me but other young or old who want to learn. You have a powerful outlet your channel. Your humor is great.
The last one was a Koenigsegg Jesko attack, wasn't it?
Yep it was just a drawing of it lol
Lolololol
Yeah, literally using a piece of tracing paper 👍 I mean it's good... but...
pretty sure it was the koenigsegg:one
@@tomber7411 naah.. look at the small headlights
That seven year old kid is going to DO something. That kid will be big in upcoming decades and we all saw the sketch where it all started.
Thankyou
Frank I just discovered your channel, I wasnt a car guy and still not so much but been watching couple informative vids about cars lately and your channel showed up today. I'll be honest I didnt even know your name or the cars you designed but I used to draw a lot and good back in the day before giving up and I loved your videos. The fact that you are taking the time and effort to do these and also how serious you take fan submissions and evaluate on them is amazing. I loved your work and channel and subscribed. Might not mean much but thank you very much, glad I found you.
It’s really nice to get feedback like that A E G, much appreciated, and happy to hear you’ll be watching more! 👍
Frank, I love your style in this video 😎 gr. from Rotterdam
Why is Aran's submission so good? When I was 7 I could barely draw a straight line, let alone draw a car.
At 7 years old I was still drawing 'three boxes' cars.
Idk is he's being honest but who knows
Honestly I don’t believe a 7 year old could draw that. It’s a troll
I'm very doubtful even a genius 7 year old could draw that. Maybe he put that age down to try and stand out from the crowd and get Frank to review his sketch.
@@juandenz2008 that is most likely. More like 17 years old lol. It is just impossible for a 7 yo to draw perspectives so well even with a lot of teaching from a car designer father or whatever. I know What 7yo are like
I like your show Frank, pure class!
AWESOME AGAIN! 👌👌👌👍 Show us your diecast model car collection 🙄🧐
I like em too, these episodes are fun!
Class is in session babyyyyyy! Best content on TH-cam!
love you frank thanks for everything you do man, truly
nice, totally get why section lines are good & how that 1 sketch showed more volume on shading once you added them.
Love this legend
Your skills and experience are amazing. Great video
6:50 ... Good looking car. Reminds me of a more refined 2000s era sports car... An Aston Vantage competitor, but wider and more muscular.
Heres a challenge Mr Stephenson. What would you do to a mk2 yaris to make it look better ?😀 I have a mk2 sr. The front needs to be more sporty.
Even though I never have and never will design cars, I always love watching these.
i remember me having such sketches when i was very young
One day you'll have to review my Ferrari aircraft.
Have you submitted it? I'd love to see that.
@@FrankStephensondesign Yes I have, a couple of months ago.
@@FrankStephensondesign Sorry, I've check again, it was exactly four months ago.
I remember now! 👍
@@FrankStephensondesign I'm now waiting for that episode. I too got interested in the Ferrari aircraft idea
Really love this series
EDIT: Nevermind, I commented before watching the entire segment lol. Awesome content as always, Frank.
Really informative video. Thanks
I absolutely love these videos!
You should do a video critiquing the different versions of the batmobiles and discuss possible design inspirations. Maybe the one from the 60’s tv show, Tim Burton’s 1989 version and also the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy Tumbler iteration
Planning on it Jake!
Paused the video straight away just to comment on that T-Shirt. Wow I need one. When are they available?
Frank makes it look so effortless
I would love to see Frank go through several manufacturer's configurators and show us his dream specs for any current models
Great video! Very enjoyable and interesting!
So exited for the merch
5:50 cracked me up so much
I'm calling his "slipper shoes," the "Dios Mios," 😆 lol.
Frank, would it be possible to review the IONIQ 5? thank you!
Few cooler than Frank Stephenson. Serious drip.
I love the T-shirt!!
Release announcement coming VERY soon, LizardKing. Make sure you're subscribed w/ notifications!
Absolutely great
Dear Frank, would it possible that you can tell us the amount of money that a head of design can gain in a year? Imo this is a very interesting topic because there is no information about this, it is like a mistery. I believe we would like to know the salaries of car designers, from a new car designer until a head of design or a company like Pininfarina. Thank you very much for your attention. Regards from Perú.
Seeing as Frank is living in the garden shed, obviously not a lot.
( I'm clearly joking. )
I think that ferrari is probably paying you more to work on their car than a company like bmw. (for example) It could also be the other way around 🤔😅
Claro que si hombre. Como todos los puestos de trabajo, un diseñador empieza su carrera con un salario digamos normal. Ni bien, ni mal. Según vas subiendo de nivel, y a base del éxito de tu trabajo, irás ganando más y más, hasta el nivel de director y jefe de diseño donde te pagarán un salario bastante enorme que te permitirá de llevar un vida muy pero que muy cómoda. El problema está en que los que preguntan como tú difícilmente llegarán a este nivel ya que para tener éxito en esta profesión tienes que hacerlo por amor y pasión, y además deberías creer Alonso que lo harías incluso gratis.
i translated it for others :)
Of course, man. Like all jobs, a designer starts his career with a let's say normal salary. Not good, not bad. As you go up in level, and based on the success of your work, you will earn more and more, up to the level of director and head of design where you will be paid a fairly huge salary that will allow you to lead a very, very comfortable life. The problem is that those who ask like you will hardly reach this level since to be successful in this profession you have to do it out of love and passion, and you should also believe Alonso that you would do it even for free.
@@FrankStephensondesign Señor Frank muchas gracias por responder! Es un honor para mi poder hablar con usted, habla muy bien español! Cuantos idiomas habla? Yo no soy diseñador, solo soy un aficionado a los automoviles y me gusta mucho lo que tiene que ver con el diseño. Tengo una pregunta para usted, ¿Por qué las marcas de automóviles cambian constantemente a sus jefes de diseño? Creo que no duran mas de 8 años en el cargo. Por ejemplo en Lamborghini, Luc Donckerwolke estuvo de jefe de diseño por cerca de 7 años, hizo un gran trabajo creando el Murcielago y Gallardo, y luego lo cambiaron por Filippo Perini que diseñó el Aventador, y ahora tienen otro Jefe de diseño. Si un jefe de diseño hace un buen trabajo, por qué no continúa? Por qué los cambian? Esto es algo que se repite en varias marcas. ¿A que se debe los cambios? Muchas gracias por su atención. Ojalá usted nos pueda contar en un video más sobre cómo trabaja el equipo de diseño cuando la compañía les encarga un proyecto.6
the second cả look like what minicooper and koenigsegg would do if they cooperate with each other
If a mini and a Koenigsegg had a baby! 😂. Yeah I see it!
would be nice a video where you redesign the classic fiat multipla!
What are the shoes?
He looks like an epic one piece character
Which one?
@@bingwu2473 Silvers Rayleigh
I have a lot of designs for cars, what should I do about them to see them here or in reality
The second car reminded me of the miura, at least the front.
It's like it married a Porsche
the side view reminds me of Nissan's latest Z
I've been loving this series. Was wondering where I could make a submission?
Heyy Frank, what pencils do u use for sketching?
A black Bic pen, Copic markers and Prisma color pencils aastrella.
CyberFrank t-shirt. :D Looking back at all of your work, was there ever a time a colleague persuaded you to take a different direction or make a certain design choice? The kind of thing where you look at the end result of their input and say "Well, colleague X was absolutely right. I got it wrong?"
During the first couple years I think I listened to anybody with more experience. After that I just went with my gut Jay.
@@FrankStephensondesign I often see the phrase "designed by committee" when the looks of some cars are criticised, do you think this has become more of an issue now, or was it worse when you first started?
@@Jay_The_Cat It’s always been an issue Jay and it’s the main reason for ugly designs.
@@FrankStephensondesign For many I think the natural place to assign blame would be lack of strong leadership in a design team, but is interference from the "higher ups" ever a factor? Execs who'd say "Oh that's a great concept BUT it's too daring/costly to produce.." etc.
That happens sometimes too.
This drawing has a lot Lamborghini styling in it. If the Miura came out today that’s what it would look like imo.
PLS critique the 2021 Honda X-ADV its such an interesting and challenging concept.
What is the website he mentions before Behance? @19:20 I can't seem to find it
Damn, I have to draw some car too even if I am forty years old)))
10:50 someone should have told this to the Kia Picanto designer 😂🤣
Frank, what type of pen do you use?
Bic. Only and always.
Yt Merch green lit by a world renowned designer would be an absolute steal
Its gotta feel right though, cant be those red balloon or cheap generic t-shirts with stuff printed on.
the last car is the konisegg:one
Was the Maserati MC-12 design influenced by the Nissan R-390 ?
I’ll check.
Sorry if you've answered this a million times before, but what is your favourite car (not one you've designed yourself)?
Also, I would really enjoy you looking at like a Volvo, or an old Saab. Just want to know what you think about Swedish cars.
He said that his favourite design is the Jaguar E type if I'm wrong ...
If designers are reading this, I urge you to send Frank some Star Wars designs inspired by car companies, much like Porsche did couple years ago. That would be a sick episode. May the force be with you.
14:26 I thought you would know what car it was :/
The second one looks like a Alfa Romeo without the iconic front face
I've never been so excited to see a legend in automotive design DESTROYING a 7yo sketch 😈😈
This is not destroying, if a 7 year old is able to draw something like that, he is also capable of taking in and learning from the constructive critisism from a legandary car designer
I want that t shirt …. Big fan from Costa Rica here
Keep your eyes peeled, Manu! 👀
@@FrankStephensondesign Are the shoes available? ;)
what about a sf90 episode? would be cool I've seen some really good and really bad opinions about it between the fans
The third 1 is a jesko
You were in the right place at the right time. Imagine how many Arans never get your life.
Lots of people never get to where they would like to be in life. Nothing good ever just lands in your lap Jeff, it’s not luck, you put your own self into a position to make it happen. It’s called risk, courage and hard work. The struggle is real.
@@FrankStephensondesign dont feed the Troll Frank
Can anyone help me? Ive been trying to send my design via email but keep getting replies saying that the address cannot be found, and im sure that its the correct email address.
I love this tshirt
