Don't bother with a design comp or gallery, people tried that a while back and they never got rolling with any good momentum. I'd be up for drawing up something just for fun, nothing organized. It'll be some motivation for me to draw more...
Rogue, your drawing skills have visibly improved. You've still got proportion issues though. You window sills should start higher up, right now they're below wheel level, that never works because of visibility. Check post #123, the paragraph above the M3 picture for a better attempt at an explination of this problem. Basically you should make your car taller by adding more space between the greenhouse and the top of the wheels: there should be more "shoulder" to the car.
RACECAR: your shading has improved as well. Your strokes are getting more subtle, which is good.

Same deal with the 3/4. You have to watch your proportions, like overhangs and the size of things and where they are in respect to other parts. the noe of the car is far too short, for instance.
Here's a sketch of a B13 Sentra. I love these cars because of the simplicity of the design, and it shows in how they drive:
*edit*: gotta run, it'll have to wait.

Rogue Ssv
It's way too short, even for an i-4.

It would be 20 minutes if I were to sit down and do it start to finish, but I was sitting on GTP while doing it, so...

I wish I could draw wheels like you!
I'll just copy+paste what I did in the comp.
Quick sketch I did if Aston Martin did a hatchback during a French Listening test. There are lots of errors but for the most part I've got most of the ideas I wanted to get across.
Better, larger version to come up (drawing on A5 sucks).

The wheels on the green coupe are really messy, but I've kind of adopted that style to sketch my wheels. I used to have so much trouble with wheels that it would take me just as long to draw the wheels as the rest of the entire drawing. You pick these kinds of things along the way...
I can see you're struggling with the symmetry of a 5-spoke wheel. Use a 6-spoke design, that way you only have to really space out three diameterous lines and you have 6 even spokes.
... and diameterous is definitely not a word.

They're probably off in geometry of the spokes. I sketched them in reeeaaaal quick.

heres my attempt at doing tooned cars
and here is a bigger version of the 510. I probably spent about 45-60min on this one:
I used a box of magic markers, colored pencils, and a .7 mechanical pencil. I wrote "DATSUN" on by the side turn signal but its not noticeable 'cause I didnt have a black pen with a fine enough tip to write it
I know my coloring is messed up I didnt do it going the same direction. I realized that like half way through and coloring and I was like UGHH! Im gonna try to do another dragster type thing with crazy
blowers and stuff

To get things going a tiny bit, I'll post something up.
A friend of mine works at a really classy performance car shop, and his boss inquired him if he knew of anyone who had enough artistic skill to do some concept sketching for their projects. He recomended me and my work, so I am going in to the shop later this week to throw up some ideas and sketches of their first project for me - a 1969 GTO.
I hadn't really done anything like this ever, so I am really looking forward to it. There was no hesitation with it either. Usually when someone asks me to lend my art or help, I am always kind of hesitant because I don't think I'm good enough. Not this time, I accepted right away, and now I'm just waiting for the call to go in and get some work done!
I decided to get some practice in before I go to it for them live. This is a photoshop of what I want to do.
Here's the original sketch - the total time for the sketch was roughly 10 minutes, but I went back to clean up the front end a bit, that's why that area looks better.
Any comments?

Its well done. I have no idea how to make photoshop do something like that, but coming from an ok artist, its real good.exigeracerTo get things going a tiny bit, I'll post something up.

Thanks. I'm sure there's a far easier/better way of doing it than how I do, but if it works, that's okay for now.
