I'm a pencil artist and have been searching around for some good reference photos of cars. Been looking through the Import and Sexy and Mean car threads but haven't really found anything that really stands out. And I don't have loads of free time and with our slowish connection it takes forever to search through threads. I was hoping you guys could help me out, I'm looking to draw 3 different types of cars.
1) A tasteful import of some sort, with good stance and what not. (maybe even time attack style)
2) Some type of race car (Preferably a classic, super gt, or FIA gt)
3) A Exotic/supercar shot that really gives a sense of raw performance.

Also Higher the resolution the better, and feel free to throw in things with strong reflections on the bodywork, makes the drawing "pop"

Thanks, and if you have a picture you think is really cool and doesn't fit the criteria - go for it. Who knows I might branch out a little.👍

first lay out the car, then look for reference pictures to finish it off.

Nice 911, but your horizontal line is a bit wobbly... in fact the entire car looks kinda fat. The proportions are weird.

Comparing that scan to the original I realize somehow the right side got compressed badly(scanned in halves), going to either rescan or take it to a print shop, wierd. Thanks for pointing that out. Actually much more wider and better proportioned than that scan. As for laying out the car 1st, I'd like to see your examples. That just wouldn't work for me.

Ah, I see the scanning mistake, then. It might be that, because the other side is well balanced.

Very nice portrait, you should do that much more than cars.

And it isn't that hard, I always start out by memory and then finesse the details I don't remember well with reference pics.

I'm hoping Koenigsegg can beat the Veyron SS. They only got 7mph more to go!
