I have told my mum now i want the draw cars like a pro book, so i can get better and car designs.

that book will help you to comprehend perspectives, it has a very good explanation. I will give you some rich advice, follow the steps on that book EXACTLY and do the excercises about proportion and perspective that come there again and again. sorry to say this, but you really dont have an idea of how to draw a car, but that book can help you much.

I'm trying to do computer coloring for the first time on a hand drawn, scanned image. (the original is earlier in this thread) Seems to be very hard..
Any help and or comments appreciated.

 

[Pebb]

Nice one m8 keep it up.

I think the back looks distorted (too wide)... you drew in 2 pt lines and the back doesn't line up. If you were trying to show that is becomes wider, then the widened bit should have started just after the rear windscreen.

Yeh, your vanishing points are too close together so you get an overly distorted look, which is teh ick.

I did a two point perpective for my graphics brief earlier this year, its rather hard and time consuming and difficult to do but in the end you get a good result.

The best thing is to start off with cubes and adjust the vanishing points until you get a nice, realistically looking shape, but one thing I suck at drawing cars so what you have there is really good!

Not to boast or show off but this is the two point perspective I was talking about. - The original is A3

Did you use those Faber-Castell water colour pencils? They suck.Get some better ones(prismacolors are good) and it would look much better. Nice perspective though.

 

[teazR]

thanks.. I was wondering what there is wrong with it..
Just couldn't put my finger on it. And since this is my first real try at cars of my own design I think I've learned a lot doing it and won't be making the same mistakes all over again.

You all be glad to know i will be getting that book about how to draw car designs like a pro for christmas now, I asked and they have sent off for it.

No I was actually using some twenty year old unbranded coloured pencils.

Where do I get these prismacolours from in Wellington? -

This afternoon, I'll draw up how to get vp's (Vanishing Points) in the right place - I forgot, I think I'll need to consult a book.

Little Johns have some... my friend (who was an excellent drawer and renderer) used to order a whole pack.

They are about $2.50 each.

bleh, a really SMALL rendering of a hot rod, EFI coupé I made atop a crossword game mag page. its like 10 cm x 2 or 3, but my scanner handled it very well. ballpen.

 

[Cano]

WOW!!!! it would be EVEN cooler if I atached the image...

I have seen your car taste, and believe me you will have SERIOUS problems with that book. the book covers mostly hot rods, and while the drawing techniques can be aplied to any car you draw, te examples there doesnt show any riced out Audis nor something like that, nor any japanese cars, they are a bunch of modified old cars. you may enter in conflict there, because I know almost for sure that you dont like them. but give it a try.

I have to second cano... they weren't all that helpful but not so much for the selection of cars.

[Pebb]

No its not the one i showed you before, this is another one and it is much more newer. Link: ok m8`s.

 

[911_Carrera]

I need to ask that question as well.
How the hell are you on the Top Gear website?
I would think they would have some taste in noticing good drawings of cars.
It's not the fact that they are super awful but the fact you keep going on about them as if they are.

 

[Pebb]

Just read the site and they tell you why, also they were my best designs and i am not bad like some people on these forums ok.

 

[Mister E]

A while back you said something like "I sent my car designs into Audi and they said..." Anyway, how in the world would they design a car from any of your pictures? Seriously. You need to work on shading, proportions, and... There's just too much to say.

 

[Pebb]

It was not Audi it was lotus also it was a much better version of the scan in other words look, more like it was the bit of the paper but scanned as a bigger size. Also I am getting the book, to get better at car designs.
