Cant give you anymore advice than what colter and don gave just to practice more and more till you get it perfect(well not perfect as our renderings are never done) pretty soon after you've done a few you'll develop your own style and shortcuts to rendering.Btw once you start rendering your own wheels be prepared to spend alot of hrs.LOL

Great job so far though Colin email me if you need any tips or critique on your work in progress renderings.

I have not been able to do much work as I have been out of town the past week and a half so I have very minor changes... I have been doing some reading and I think I may try to begin my next attempt with a drawing and then move it into illustrator, I have begun to start getting a feel for it and with a little more practice I should be more comfortable using it. I will keep you updated and post it once I get a chance. I have an 8 hour flight on Saturday so I am pretty sure I will get some work done then!

Thanks Zee,
I keep looking back at the rendering you did for me to try and understand how things should be proportioned or shaded and it has helped immensely! Thanks for the offer, I will be sure you hit you up!

Flight time is good time to draw. I had some folks complain once aboput my stinky markers so now I usually just take a sketch pad with me when I fly. You can never sketch too much.

If you haven't looked at it, look in the tutorials section at the Illustrator stuff. You can get a pretty good feel for how to do it by looking at the wire frame then back at the finished drawing. Just get a good grip on the pen tool and the white "open selection" tool to adjust anchor points. It's all down hill from there.

Same here with questions, I'm happy to share any help I can. Feel free to just start a new thread with your question and we can all give our input. There are different ways to do the same effect sometimes, you just have to find which idea fits your drawing style.

That's a great start! Keep at it!
