Nissan provides colouring books for all staying at home

Nissan is offering 23 newly created, downloadable colouring pages featuring beloved Nissan classic cars, current models, futuristic concepts and even some 'cult classic' models, such as the Nissan Figaro and ChoiMobi.

Nissan designers from around the world created the pages over the last few weeks, a time during which many people have been staying home because of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

"It all starts with a single line" is the message from Nissan's global design team as it looks to connect a worldwide community of artists through the new 'DrawDrawDraw' social project. Nissan's Senior Vice President for Global Design, Alfonso Albaisa, is launching this effort with a video from his home, and with input from his two young sons, showing what he is currently drawing and why.

Designers from his team will post additional videos in coming weeks to talk about their design inspirations, what they are drawing, how they became car designers, and tips for those looking to break into the business.

Their inspiration for this project came from Nissan Designer Giovanny Arroba, the creative mind behind the recently unveiled Ariya Concept Car. Arroba was asked for advice on becoming a car designer in which he said, simply and beautifully, to draw like crazy. Draw, draw, draw. Nissan is asking individuals to tag their drawings, from sidewalk art to napkin sketches to the downloaded coloring book pictures, with the hashtag 'drawdrawdraw'.
