Chris LeeHow to approach an Interior Ideation RenderingWelcome to the : How to approach an interior ideation sketch rendering tutorial. A quick interior ideation rendering is difficult because there’s just so many elements to an interior, you got the dashboard, middle console, doors, seats and steering wheel and not to mention all the details within each part. So in this tutorial I discuss a little about how to go about dividing up the interior into different sections so that it doesn’t become so overwhelming to do a quick ideation sketch rendering and then I give you guys a demonstration on how I isolate one part of the interior, in this case a dashboard to show you how to do a quick 20 min ideation sketch rendering.Thanks and enjoy!

Chris LeeBasic steering wheel photoshop tutorialAs part of the Interior Design Series, I'm going over how to render a basic steering wheel in photoshop. The steering wheel is a great design object that most students skip over in their interior projects. They mostly focus on the dashboard and even seats before spending time on the steering wheel.There are so many elements that are compacted in the steering wheel. You have to think about the ergonomics of the grip + think about the interaction buttons + make sure the design language is the same with the rest of the interior. So its actually a difficult piece to design because its also a small object compared to the rest of the interior. But seeing that it is the object that you have the MOST interaction with in a car, its not a bad idea to spend a page or two on a nice steering wheel design.Which leads me to this tutorial on how to render a steering wheel in a direct front view, you can use this technique to design different views and deliver a compelling steering wheel design!Thanks!
Chris Lee5 Common mistakes interior students make and how to avoid them!This video is for students who are pursuing car interior design. I get a lot questions from students who are starting out and curious about interior design and how to move forward. So through the many years of tutoring interior design students, I have compiled the 5 most common mistakes that the students make so you can learn to avoid them. Video Includes:In this tutorial video, I show real example projects from former students and show you both good and bad examples. I point out the common mistakes in their portfolios so that you can learn to avoid them. I cover everything from "Why your interior project doesn't stand out or is unique" to "How to get the most out of your interior 3D model" and even "Avoiding the Autonomous Driving Interior Concept TRAP" I also know interior design takes longer for each sketch and many students have a hard time filling up a full portfolio with sketches, so I give some advice on how to efficiently produce many pages of sketches for each project without having to spend hours drawing the whole interior.I also take a couple of student interior sketches and do an overlay to show you how to optimize your interior themes and also keeping your original key sketch theme while incorporating basic interior functionality.So, if you've been struggling with any of these topics, check out the tutorial and I hope it makes it easier to come up with an amazing interior design project!Thanks!(P.S. all the students work I have shown in the tutorial have either all gotten jobs as an interior designer or have had successful internships)
