Basic Steering wheel Photoshop Tutorial

As 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!
