listen people.

I have problems with perspectives when im drawing, i mean i can draw a pic, and it can look nice, but it doesnt look real cause the angles are not correct.

is there any way i can get help on how to draw it so it will be in the right angels and perspectives?


thanks,


Ran

You just need to keep practicing. I had tons of trouble with it, and now I'm getting it down pretty well. Just keep at it and you will get better.

thats what i tought, thanks, but is there any way that i can do it right and then i can go with that way all the time?

like the grid thing, but i might want to draw pix that are in my computer so i need to know a good way if there is.

Pics in your computer? I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to use the pics on your computer as a reference? Or do you want to use a program to draw a pic on your computer?

If you just want to use a pic (that you have saved from the 'net or whereever) as a reference you could either print it out & do the usual grid, or you could open it in "Paint" & put a grid on it there...

I agree with Emaxx practice is the key. I tend to use simple geometric shape in perspective to give me a reference. A main box with simple grid on all faces for the overall dimension of the model (window line, bumper line, wheel and lights placement,ect), 4 box shapes for the whells (to help for the ellipse). You'll see that with practicing, you will need less and less to draw it as you will do it directly in your mind.

thank you very much!

i will do that, and this i think would really make me draw better.

CZ-R: i meant drawing a pic that i got off the internet and saving it in my comp and looking at the monitor when drawing..

but now i think i know how to draw better :cool:

Exactly. the more you draw, they easier it will be for your mind to spot mistakes. Try to draw the thing in your mind before you do it on paper.

That's what I thought you meant, but I thought I'd double check. I agree 100% with everyone that has said to practice... I can't stress enough how much that will help more than anything...

Yeah. Pracitice is the only way to get better. Ask anyone here. When I first came here, my pictures were so bad. You can probably find them here. Now, I'm not perfect, but its gotten a lot better. Let me try and find my pics for you.

Practice / Regularity / Observation that's for me the 3 mother rules to progress. That was ages since I used a pen for drawing thanks to "oh so practical" 3D and i tell you what, it's amazing how you lose it quickly. Looking at all the drawing posted I got hungry again and I am now constantly having a sketch pad with me so I can draw when I got spare time. Thank to you AF... you made me a happier man.
