PLEASE please do more of these R/D, it's absolutely inspiring to see these renowned designers let their imaginations flow freely and display the true appeal and love behind car design. It's like a portrait of where i truly wanna be in my life.

[@RoadandTrack]

No matter how many times we see it, Tom's laugh at the end gets us every time.

[@elcarlos3]

Who wants more episodes? I DO!

[@siegfridus9990]

Industrial Design is not only about sketching, but selling your ideas and convince others that you're talented. This dude right here got that part

[@archofficial1922]

He's right about the aero. It's why the AE86 and S13 had such good aerodynamics.

[@chrisdblue]

i could watch this guy all day. I design my own concept cars every day just for fun.

[@NitrogenElite]

YES!!! someone shares my love for bench-seats

[@KevinMay71]

Love the line about "the family is going to be united again." I want a car with bench seats! He's a very classic designer.

[@lixiaolong87]

there is a difference between nice drawings and a good sketch that communicates ideas. my post was simply a reply to someone who claims that these sketches are "ugly" but from a design point of view they are just fine as they communicate everything you need in 2 simple perspectives. all nice renders are really to persuade clients/customers/your boss or whatever this kind of work is where actual design of a product is born

[@MinaBassilious]

I can't tell you how much I want more videos like this. Amazing.

[@HelloImTuneli]

The most sympathetic designer I have ever seen.

[@cyrusm8393]

He is really inspiring to me because I would like to become a car designer one day, and Mazda is also one of my favorite car companies too. The end made me smile for some reason... :)

[@kindanoyzy]

Same here, i might be getting an apprentiship at Mazda (fingers crossed) wish me luck!

[@bossbattlejeff]

@@kindanoyzy how did it go? 😃

[@ETin6666]

We want more Five Minute Cars!

[@TheKat5150]

My favorite series here

[@ookingdomstaroo]

YAY!!!! Love my director Tom Matano!

[@hammondthink7947]

Mazda's head of design for 25 years, awsome guy!

[@CCourter16]

Love this series!

[@JJKSeattle]

Terrific. More like this, please!

[@alanarchy]

It is actually. Designers do all the "drawings." You have to be really good at communicating ideas in sketch form in every view in perspective.

[@ooharloo]

very fun to watch. hope to see more of this =)

[@moncefboujrad9936]

please continue to do this type of video !

[@DocWolph]

MAZDAs in the 1990s, were and, in some cases, still are easily among the best looking cars to ever go to market period. If you think MAZDA's look awful now, that wasn't Matano. In fact, MAZDA has gone through at least two head designers in the last 10+ years. Every time they go through a major design language change, new head of design.

[@JimmyGraffiti91]

I love this show!

[@5Qu1Z33r]

Big props for having windows in the background and not a f*cking apple!

[@Lukanater7777]

Awesome drawing!

[@rodasrodas]

This drawing series is great. Thks|

[@AudioCrossingVideos]

this was lovely

[@CarDesignTechniques]

4:03 I couldn't stop laughing- this could be true!

[@lixiaolong87]

being a car designer is not about being able to smack out nice drawings you have artists for that, designers are there to create new ideas/products the sketch is merely a communication tool to show their vision

[@Grant500]

These are awesome

[@are8620590]

I wanna learn car design now!

[@hirevinrs4]

More!

[@BenLeBlanc1]

I already have drawn one... it takes maybe about 10 min, but maybe I should post it on the C&D twitter...

[@vREMIX3D]

why did you not upload more of these?

[@Z28PAPI]

Mode episodes plz!

[@Drawn2B]

Is there an episode 3?

[@geekf1]

Holly shit!!! He designed the RX7?!!!

[@Redstone2K12]

[@RoadandTrack]

We thought that was pretty cool too

[@Z28PAPI]

[@tiktokgirl007]

[@moncefboujrad9936]

[@glorious_help]

PLZZZZ BRING HUBERT LEE FOR A 5 MIN SKETCH

[@bachstrad644]

You are wrong about aerodynamics. Corvettes and other sports cars have an aerodynamic shape that generates downforce. The shape you drew would not be good at generating downforce and instead would generate lift causing your car to have a top speed of 30mph.

[@LexTNeville]

Let air draw half the car, then you fill in the rest. Ink, graphite, watercolour, chalk, charcoal or digital media are most popular.

[@Romeoprince1]

Nice car but with a windshield like that its going to be as areodynamic as a bus

[@Redsoxxx927]

And what is your major? Continue to hate. Youre not getting anywhere.

[@aguydude100]

"thug life" 0:18

[@DavidB-rx3km]

Why don't you actually SHOW the car he's drawing???

[@arabpardis5570]

why to destroy this nice peace of paper with a car

[@brodyfd]

Its so no one can make money off his desgin

[@LeoCast96]

yes, yet I know what aerodynamic means.

[@theoriginaloneminutesketch7892]

Great quality video and commentary, but didn't like the bit where the art is screwed up. Yes I know it's a symbol for effortless creation and giving it the status of just a working sketch, but to the viewer who is watching in awe, it just comes across a bit distasteful. For videos of quick sketches but without the screwing up - check out my KZbin art channel - I'm a car designer too.

[@Monkeylabs]

Well, cars have slanted windscreens for a reason...

[@Terraceview]

Born in 96 I presume?

[@alessandrosantucci8434]

I love Japanese people

[@DMaster27]

No offense to his talent but the best part of this drawing is 5:27 No wonder those Mazda's are ugly.

[@glorious_help]

Want a large sedan.... get an E/S -class

[@sectoronetwothree]

and that's why its hasn't happened...too classic. no originality.
