I wondered what all those metal boxes were outside, didn't realise they were cars.
Judging by the second part of your post you obviously caught the gist of what I was saying. I was looking for cars to draw but couldn't find anything that decent, didn't think I needed to say it in so many words.
The Carrera GT is a good shout, also a favourite of mine 👍

Please note: text at the bottom reads "Legends never die. Mazda 787b" and there is no shading simple because.

Sometimes... all depends what i'm drawing, the wheels on the Car-toon Trans-Am took about 2 & a half hrs (combined).. partly because i wanted to do a good job, but also, i'm still learning how to draw in photoshop (about 6 months ago was the 1st ever time i'd set foot in photoshop), i do a lot of 2-5min sketches.. but no real effort is put into them.
I did this whilst on holiday down in Woolacombe (bit of a surfer spot.. lot's of VW's), i think it may be my next Car-Toon car pic... got the original idea from Cano mentioning something about: 'boxy Fiesta'
.The quality's not great (took about 20mins.. and from memory), as you can see it's done in biro/pencil on quite a small sketch-pad (A6 size), because i packed light for my holiday.
It's pretty inaccurate at the mo, but may work with it in PS.
MK1 Volkswagen Golf (Kamei racing version):
I'm hoping it's a bit different than the usual Car-Toon style (huge wheels), though i'm sure small wheel approach has probably been done before... i may even go for even smaller wheels
Another reason i chose the MK1 Golf, is because i think i bit off more than i could chew with the (not too.. but still curvy) Ponti F'bird.
PS, obsessive rules, i think your Mazda race car pic has some potential but the writing on the front ruins it for me, maybe try and practice your writing on a slanted plain to help show perspective.

Oh.. didn't realise you spent so little time on it, heck! it would take me 2hrs to just draw a wheel.
I never meant this to sound mean or anything. I need to add a couple emotes to my posts
Those are the coolest 👍

That's awesome. It is indeed different. Boxy cars are difficult to cartoon because there are almost no elements to exagerate, but you managed to give them to it with the fender flares and roller-like tires. The pointy top also helps. I love it. Will steal the idea to put it to work on my own.
Also,you SO chewed the Firebird. Don't say that, your car came out amazing, it was by far the best of the bunch.

Thoughts please?
This one has shading.

For a beginner, this is a very decent drawing. An area that you could improve on is the smoothness of the shading. If you're really serious about your drawings, then you should try and get a blending stump if possible, which allows you do shade in areas smoothly which will give a much cleaner effect on the drawing. Alternatively, it is still possible to 'smudge' shading with your finger but you won't have the control and precision that you will have with a blending stump.
EDIT: Currently working on this Mazda RX-7:
Please forgive the dodgy license plate. I will have to fix it using some white paint soon.

Thanks for the feedback.
And that's a brilliant Mazda.

Before you start concentrating on shading - concentrate on line work. Get smooth lines and learn to use fewer streaks (be more bold and confident with your lines). Keep practising. 👍
@MSTER, did you trace that picture? Because your line work has massively improved from your previous picture. The wheels are done so much better. (it's a compliment - because it really does look like its traced, which is why I'm asking)

No, I didn't trace it. But for my older car drawings, I will admit to tracing them (And by 'older' car drawings, everything from the BMW backwards was traced. The Evo wasn't traced though). And the reason why the wheels are done so much better is because I found a video on youtube showing how to draw wheels. Here it is if anyone's interested:

MSTER232, really man, i don't believe you... if you think you can fool anyone here, shame on you... i know what you did, and you should learn how to tell a better lie.

What did he do, I myself think it's a pretty good drawing.

It's cool Cano, kind of guessed it was a comment to be taken with a pinch of salt, it appears our dislike for Fiesta's in general is mutual (friend of mine used to have an MK2 XR2i.. was pretty nippy, but damn it was ugly imo).
Thanks (again) for the compliment on the unfinished Trans-Am, but for me, yours is still better, i prefer your (unique) overall style and really admire the skill involved (completely hand drawn) 👍, i know my pic is quite good but the amount of time invested into it i feel is excessive, and the amount of times iv'e changed and tried to correct things would be pretty much impossible if i'd not drawn it in photoshop, plus also it's still not finished, and i'm kind of lost on how to finish the highlights etc... hence: 'bit off more than i can chew'.
Glad you like the Golf too, the real thing has quite small diameter wheels, so i thought maybe accentuating that may work.. i think it might also work on oldschool Fiat 500's Mini's and cars of that ilk (looking forward to see what you do with the small wheel style).
Great RX7 MSTER, if you didn't trace it, i think it just adds to the improvements we can all see you're making... if you did trace it, no biggie i guess, as you'd only be cheating on yourself really.
No!.... but i will show you something i literally did "Poop-Scoop"
It's my 1st ever attempt.. so not great, next year i will go bigger in scale, take with me some proper tools (atomiser+source material etc) and take into account time constraints (stupid tide forced me to rush).
Pooped VW splitty:
And yes, that is my 'Hello Kitty' bucket.

I'm not lying, no tracing involved.
No tracing, I'm actually improving. To prove it, I'll design my own car, draw it and post it up here when I finish the RX-7.
