here is one of my car drawings that I did several years ago. Be gentle; this pic was taken with my Treo just to show someone at work one of my drawings without taking the original to work.

Actually it looks quite nice!!

BTW, this sub-forum doesn't get as many views as some of the others...don't take it personal!!

Yeah you gotta give stuff a few days to get going as people swing by this section. I think it looks pretty sharp myself. I don't know if you planned for it to come out this way or not, but I like how there are shadows above and below it in the photo. I'd render it like that too ... kind of a nice mood that somehow fits the car.

Looks good! Let's see a color version!

lol.. thanks guys.. I only said that because there were several views and no comments.

I have scanned it into photoshop and I have started the rendering there.

Tony,

Looks good! Perspective is good, however an elipse template will help with your wheel perspective. Do you use any tools? Such as straight edge, french curve, guide and elipse templates? These tools will help sharpen the lines. Also If you plan on using pencils try a set with different graphite softness.

Keep it up, you are off to a great start!

I use a straight-edge for a baseline and that was about it. I need to get an elipse tool. I had a french curve but lost it.. lol.
