Nigel, if you had to give advice on the best Transportation/Auto Design schools to go to, which ones would you suggest world-wide?

[Nigee55]

I can only really speak on schools in Europe, in which case Pforzheim (Germany) and the Royal College of Art in London are upholding their reputations well. However there are some upcoming newer courses showing good potential. The bottom line is a good, hard working and creative student will do well on any Auto design course. Hope this helps !

what did you use to color the detailed sketches (renderings)

[Nigee55]

I used a mixture of marker (magic marker type) and photoshop. Most of the airbrush effects were done with photoshop. Hope this helps.

I would encourage you to look into studying Car or product design later at Coventry University, Royal College of Art etc. They offer specific courses if you are interested in becoming a car designer. Courses like these will also allow you to try photoshop. If you have more questions you're welcome to PM me. Nice car drawings by the way ! Great potential !
