This took something like an hour. And yes i know the wing is just too much. I just had that idea of one center stand and it kind of evolved from that.. lol
Since i haven't been drawing in years i guess i should get back to the table and start practicing again.
I know for sure i can do a lot better than this, but a promise is a promise.

hey, the design is cool. it looks muscular and has crisp, agressive lines, starkly contrasting squarish stuff with indeniably round edges. can I borrow it? :D I want to make a "cover" of yer car (read: make an interpretation, a "fanart" or something like that) and since im on that, how about making the front? :D

Cano

So, can I? (:
 
so does any body like to use auto cad or photoshop to draw cars? I also like to draw free hand, but i need to work on shadows. But if anyone here on this forum likes to render cars on the computer, I would love to see them. :)

kewl. I will get on it as soon as I finish the pantera. hey, Jpec, TeazR, would you like to join the weekly GTP drawing competition? you have some skill!! click on the link in my sig if you would :P

Cano
thanks dude :P
 
Nah, not really. I'd much rather stick to stuff I know than to start trying to learn how to draw on my own (although it would teach some useful stuff like airbrushing techniques). I'll think about it a little Cano, but right now I'm thinking not (BTW, can you give some pointers for the car on the yellow paper?)
 
sure Jpec, here it goes... lezee...
*goes and checks out the stuff... :odd:
ok, look, first of all, you NEED to clean up your lines, they are too fuzzy. it will be better if you throw large, long lines instead of trying to outline the entire car with small lines at once. it may seem that you have greater control, wich you have, but itll make your car look fuzzy. if you are drawing with pencil, try to throw long lines without fear! that is a good excercise. now, for the car, first of all, the perspective is well used, altough its a difficult one you chose. try to keep your lines, as I said, as smooth, crisp, and straight as possible, that alone would help you A LOT. one thing I can see is that your rear wheel is ENORMOUS and your front one is off a lawnmower :P watch it, if you did the front one the same size as the rear, it would look real better. also, the perspective of the tires in relation with the flanks of the car is crooked, they aint parallel, and none of them is turning. that would fix it up. the perspective of the intercooler isnt good, neither, unless it is laid back into the hole, because, it doesnt hold a vertical, but instead a parallel line with the front fascia, wich IS laid back. and also, wtf with those giant scoops on the doors? if you are gonna make a horizontal porton of a car, try to keep it horizontal till the end. maybe you didnt try, but the upper section of the air scoop on the door suggests it, because there is a change in the volume of the door and body of the car RIGHT THERE. if you made the top line of the scoop be parallel to the body it wouldnt look that weird. as for the design, well, I like it, a bit weird but still good, and, well, a common problem is the lack of volume in the wheels, not on their spokes, but on the rim itself, it looks plane, but it should have a perspective, because its innerds are deep into the tire, as is the disc brake, but it seems to be glued to the rim. it shouldnt look complete, it should look about half of it. a note on the design: if you made the roof line way lower, it would look more sporty, because if you see, the flanks of the body on the car are lower than the top itself... maybe same size, but still, if you made the top lower, it would look real better. perspective on the windows and on the little wing outback are really good, you have no big problems with perspective, wich is good. I think that is all. I hope that was helpfull, and that I wasnt... I dont know, overwhelming :D if you allow me, I will try to get to your design too and fix the stuff I mentioned, so you can see how it looks. it would be better, still, if you tried it man. what do you say? will you try?

Cano

I mean... go for it (:
 
I am currently making a second draft of the car. The whole front scheme of the car is like a giant \, and to the intecooler is vertical without protruding out of the front of the car, like this; ]\. I kinda messed up on the shading, but this time around I am going to pay much better attention to that. Even in digital art I have trouble placing the disk brake in relation to the rim; so I don't know how I would be able to correct that problem here. Thanks for the criticism, I will post an update once I finish version 2...
 
Guess whos back me also i am doing CAD, at college along with Motors and Art along with IT maths and sports. Also i will use CAD and art to get better at car drawings, also my lasest drawings have not been my style and thanxs for the tips. Aswell i will sharpen my pencil now because, i have my best pencil now the 5B which i am good with. Also i will now, scan my pictures i am doing in art at college. Also in the 3 day art exam i had at school which i lefted i got one of the, best marks and got 85% or 88% in it. And the art exam was run by WJEC!
 
:yuck: I don't like CAD that much. Give me something that doesn't require the computer's help to create a masterpiece and I'll be set (by CAD, are you referring to Photoshop-type stuff or to stuff more like MS Powerpoint? because I am very much involved in the first kind; even though I wouldn't quite call that CAD...)
 
i would post pics of my drawings but i am afraid u would not be able 2 tell it its a car or a bike so bacsisly i am saying i suck at drawing nice job guys:tup: 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Great, you can draw other things, but you just can't draw cars...You can draw people really well, just not cars. Meanwhile, I need to make my own car up one of these days.

Welcome to the GTP (as you've probably heard 100 times over), and enjoy your stay. I have a few tips for you; 1. Never say "I can't"; because that is admitting defeat, and humans are capable of anything they set their minds to. 2. If you would like to be taken more seriously, try to use punctuation more often (as well as capotalizations). This will help you out a great deal here at the GTP, as you will be taken much more seriously. 3. For the car-to-bike problem, try drawing the car from a different perspective. Use your mind's eye to imagine what you would see from that angle and copy those lines onto a piece of paper. I hope I've helped your situation somehow...
 
this is an m3... proposed for 2003 or 2004... an m2 engine.. and the cars light as a feather.. compliments my old CSL fairly well

I read most of your posts and i am getting the idea that English is your second language.

"school i lefted" "lasest" "staff"

because there's no perspective in the drawing. Or there is but it's so distorted that it's hard to figure out which side is what.
I recommend again for you to practice perspective with simple objects such as cubes.
I'll draw a simple example when i have the time to do it.
 
Ok here's how it should be. All the lines drawn through symmetrical points of the car should meet each other on one of those 2 vanishing points.
And as you can see you're design doesn't do that.
Try drawing those lines as helpers on your designs. You can of course remove them once you've finished.
 
Is that how i should of done my sports car design, but still sporty with the curves still in it can you make it easier for me to unstand.

Also should i use a ruler to, make it more in a better line.
 
You can use this technique in everything that needs to be in perspective. And of course you can make your cars as round and full of curves as you want. Just keep the basic points such as windshield corners, roof corners etc on those lines and you'll do fine.
