No one looks at the drawing request.

Ok I know I'm posting in tha wrong place but like I said no one reads the drawing request. So anyway can some one hook me up. Ok I'd really apreciate it if someone could draw me a car similar to this but with a DTM style body kit? http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/907430YugoWidebody.jpg

Thnks.

I would help you out, but im not a good car drawer sorry

Just my thoughts.

Yup, that thread should be removed it is obvious that drawing requests are not popular. That may tell you Wes that your chances of getting someone to draw your car is slim to none. Perhaps you should ask someone at your school. Also what you are asking for is called a commission and that means you pay $. Time=$.

I hope you find someone, please don't get too fustrated w/ the artists here if knowone offers. There is someone who offeres his services but it will cost you I think 5$ :) ouch, check eslipseaudi's thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t112084.html

Oh, your drawing looks really good, did you do that. If you did I don't see why you need someone else to draw it for you. Also try tracing what you have and transfering it to paper and then shading it. You would be impressed on what shading can do for you. Let me know in this thread if you want some tips.

I think that the only reason that people don't read those, because if we want to draw a nice car, it takes a long time. Mine are around 4-5 hours, but I know that asaenz took 40-50 on his R34. This is a lot of time devoted to impress some stranger from the internet. I don't even do this for my close friends because they don't appreciate the true meaning of the picture, it just gets lost in the bowels of their lockers.

i draw storyboards in los angeles. typically i will not do requests unless i am paid for the effort. drawing is not for free. if you go to burger king and order a whopper, it is not for free. if you say "no, give me the whopper for free," they will probably have you taken out of the store. drawing is ultimately for sale. pleasure is second. or last. sometimes drawing is very painful work.

i would like to think that requests are fun, but really, with busy days and other things like paying for living, the request line gets shut down. so drawing becomes like any other thing: like going to the supermarket to get eggs and bread. time. and money. and more time. it is all part of the economic specialization of trade ethic of capitalism. rembrandt would do commissioned portraiture of the wealthy so he, too, could be rich. smart guy. and not a bad artist. all fine art is really commercial art waiting to be sold. michaelangelo did the sistene ceiling under force of the clergy. he was basically a slave to the church -- the first corporation. why? because of money. the church is always a business. and all of that fine art that everyone admires is all commercial. there is no such line between fine art and commercial art.

today, "fine art" is a modern marketing branding name to advertise "traditional" painting for mass-consumption. or it is again a marketing jargon used to create the air of "exclusivity" at gallery openings for more wealthy buyers to gravitate to and identify with. or be "seen" around, like a clique or affected lifestyle image.
