About Us

 

Hey there!  If you want to cultivate your passion for drawing cars and other subject matter using traditional and digital mediums, you’ve come to the right place!  My name is Arvind Ramkrishna and I’ve been working in the automotive sector in Michigan for over a decade!

I know how hard it is to be able to figure out what you want to do in college or to even afford going to an expensive private design school! Some of you just like to draw as a hobby because drawing is like a stress reliever! That’s why I created this blog.  To give back to the community of design and teach you how to draw and sketch the OLD SCHOOL way!

That’s what we are all about!  Driven Mavens.  A Maven is quite simply an expert in a particular area or field that chooses to share their talents.   So if you have the drive and ambition to learn, I’ll help you get there!

Every week I’ll be posting video tutorials about automotive design, sketching basics and fundamentals. Be sure to sign up for our news letter so you get access to free updates and video tutorials that are posted!

Be active in our community and post comments as often as possible and you will find your skill sets accelerate to a new level! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the ride!

If you are looking for a beginners course, our popular introduction to transportation design will cover excellent fundamentals and basics in analog and digital drawing formats.  Plus! It supports this blog for free content :)  Check out the site here: http://howtodrawcarsnow.com

All you have to do is just believe in it and give it a shot! You are more than welcome to signup for free for more tips and updates. I do intend to start tutorials on basic fundamentals soon.
