S15: Lord of da Bling :)

Hello

Thanks for checking this out.

This is my next project. The S15 will be done in graphite and pencils. I want to know what you guys think of the rims. Should I go all chrome or just chrome lip and dish with gun-metal center?

I will be making a special tutorial on head lights and chrome.

Take care

I prefer the gun metal center, but thats just me

gunmetal center would rock with chrome lip

Thx Jetts and UncleMcgee.
I will do just the lip as chrome. That should look pretty nice.

I need to work a little bit on the front spoiler (intercooler openings), something doesn't look right.

alfred

your right line is just a smidge crooked. That is what is wrong, asaenz...

Thx HighOctaneNOSUser

You are talking about the far small opening right, where it bends up too much (jdm driver side)?

alfred

woot woot, I love those Nissan S-chassis.
I prefer gunmetal center and a big polish lip. :)

Gunmetal and chrome lip ^_^

I'm a big fan of bronze and gold but that's just me.

damn, i cant wait till this is finished.

hey asaenz, this will be one tight ride when ur done. i like BIG chrome but i think it would still be tizight though. yeah, i kinda noticed sumptin wrong wit da front if u stare at it for a while... but its not that noticeable. maybe there isnt anything wrong with, u might just have to finish it but if u do and there is something wrong with it... that would suck. hope u can figure it out. o yeah, how long do u think it took u to outline it so far, cuz that part of my drawings usually take awhile.( u know to get it all proportioned... but i just look at a pic and use no elipses or anything... thats why it takes so long) anyway ur drawing is damn sexy. sorry for talking too much lol

On the side closest to the wheels, the line bends too diagonally compared to the other line. I dunno, maybe it is just me...

Hiut mew back with what you think about my attempt at describing what is wrong, and if you agree with me.

To me, It bends a little to diagonally:banghead:, but maybe I am just proportionatly challenged:D

Oops I modified the other side. Well here it is now. I fixed the front bumper hopefully the nostrals look better.

This is hard to do because I actually don't have angle I want in my photo references. I am using about 9 references to come up with this car. This is the most artistic thing for me. Usueally just work from a single photo. I am trying to change things up so much as to protect myself from copyright infringement. I plan on selling prints.

Thx Alex, you are correct that front bumper was messed up. I guess I could have gone either way, fix the left or right side to make them match. What do you think now?

Alfred

awesome. yeah u figured out what was wrong. i think thats what i was thinken two. noice!! i have been using more than one reference pic myself lately. i think it gives the drawing more style, creativity, etc.

Yeah, so I think it looks better now. I likes!

if idrew something that good, id look at it, then i'd crememy self all over it and ruin it. thats phat

... weird

ya man, i try

im just screwin around man. dont make fun of the new kid. by the way, it is amazing what you can do with a piece of paper and a pencil. good quote.

naw dude, i wasnt bashing on ya. i thought u ment like u would cremate urself on it and ya lol. :eek: :screwy: yes it is amazing what u can do wit da peese uv paypur :lol2:

wow man im looking forward to seeing this one...after that Nismo GTR u did im in love with your work...ima start drawing cars soon...right now im doing cartoons...trying to practice on shading and using Kneaded Erasers, etc...

have you considered a chrome outer ring with the inner rim the same color as the body ?

Wut up Kartoonz.

That is a great idea; that is what I am going to do.

The whole car will be in graphite which I like cuz silver/gunmetal is my favorite color. So the inner rims (centers) will be the same style of shading as the body and the outer rim rings will have high contrast to simulate chrome.

I almost have the top half of the car done (interior, duel nitrous setup, with racing seats, and the wing and sail pillar). I had to stop though to finish my Enzo for the drawing comp.

I should have an update pict. this Monday.

alfred

cool bro cant wait to see it

keep them drawings cummin.

found it, did you finish this drawing?

awesome job alfred...keep us posted

wow nice drawing

mint clean lines good perspective, how bout throwing me a sileighty?

How about people that resurect old threads be banned?

Tim or Al, please lock this thread until Al has more updates.

beat me to it mike...

Ok finally got some progress.

Feel bad about starting this thread way back and not making quick results.

Interior shot.
Looks a lil grainy/blury due to my hand movement.

Entire ride.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/35634sil_prog-med.jpg

Things are coming along well. I did notice that the seat appears too small may have to enlarge that.

I am preparing to do the headlights next and I will take good photos and explain how I do them.

Thx for checking it out.

Once this thread gets back to the (end of 1st) 2nd page I will close it backup untill I get some more done.

Alfred

FINALLY

omg i love it, wow

damn, i think i asked this already but do you use 9H pencils up to 9B???
or do you use sumthing else.

Thats coming along great!!!

damn sweet.... very realistic!!!

LOVE IT!

groovy:thumbsup:

Sweet Man, just plain awsome:)

Sweetness.

Hey Al you suck, go to another forum where your work is appreciated. Look only half the car is shaded. It looks like crap. *completely sarcastic, it looks great*

WOW!

Totally impressed asaenz!

very clean. very perfect. nothing to complain about. only complaint is that i wish i could do that....well if it took you that long then it should look goodlol :icon16:

holy shite! woweeeeeeeeeeeee thats awesome

you fixed the front fascia and now it works. your elipses are correct. however, the sliver of wheel from the jdm driver's side is set a wee bit too far back from the front lip. and it is incorrect as an arc in this vantage point. but i am nit-picking.

you did a great job interpolatiing from many sources, your lines are very accurate and convincing as an S15 -the very thing that may burn you if you make prints of it. but, actually, prints, lithographs, are considered "fine art," --- "safe." were you to strike posters of it, that is "commercial art," ---dangerous.

the front end is a dead-giveaway as an S15; is not vague enough IMHO to evade copyright infringement. but like i said, you will not have much fear if you run limited edition lithos.

bonzelite-
Can you comment on a drawing without ever saying anything negative? Its beginning to piss me off. Hell, I dont even want to post my pictures here. I know my drawings arent perfect, but if you distinguish that Al's drawings need work, hell mine must look like chicken scratch to you.

True, ture, but...Then again, Al does like all the comments/critique that can help him. I mean, Mine are almost as good as some in colour, but I get alot of things wrong with b/w.I just started using elipses, and I don't mind nit-picking. Bonzite is VERY precise in his work, and can find these little things. But, if you don't want him to tell you anything about yours, just ask him not to.

I think bonzelite is very harsh, yet constructive. And very helpful.



I'm sure Al won't mind, and If he does it to me, I won't mind, I enjoy a good beating to get me into shape:)

I think bonzelite is very harsh...


I enjoy a good beating

yea he said he was just "nit-picking" he probably set there and looked for errors and the ones he said aren't that noticable. if someone has to set down and stare at your drawing to find something wrong with it then that is a good thing. yes it is true that he does "negative" feedback but that is what most people here are looking for. i don't post my work on here to show off or to be the best, i post it here to learn from people better and more experienced than me. in conclusion i enjoy a good beating also :icon16: :biggrin:

FINALLY

omg i love it, wow

damn, i think i asked this already but do you use 9H pencils up to 9B???
or do you use sumthing else.

Thx Dommy

I use 2b mechanical lead. I found the lead at Staples.
With 2b mech lead you don't need anything softer (IMO)

I am also trying something new. Once the entire car is completely done I will spray workable fixative on the surface. I will then go over all the darks w/ 2b again and that will create a super dark done, almost black.
It should really make the white highlights brighter and bring the car to life.

Thx Bonzelite,
I think you are right on the arch being to far, but incorrect on the degree of the arch. I re-examined my ref. and the degree is correct, I think. No big deal. Ofcourse it is hard to tell I widened all the tires. I appreciate your critique.

Thanks also for the copyright tips and the observations, but they went in one ear and out the other....hee hee....just joking. :)

Thx again everyone for peeping it and your encouragement.

so you mean i bought 6H to 9B pencils for NOTHING!!!

:( that blows, good thing i didn't pay :)

oh, and as for the criticizing, i love it, i love knowing everything thats wrong with my drawing...

GTmike, POST YOUR DRAWINGS!!!!!!!

No you didn't buy them for nothing. The 2b mech is just my preference. To me the 2b + pencils start looking more like gun metal (well graphite) :)

The hardest lead I have used is 4h wood pencil.

I like the 2b mecha. because I can get very fine dark lines with it, like for the window trim and the dark lines that useually outline head lamps and such. I also use hb mech. pencil. I would say the majority of my work is w/ hb & 2b mech. pencils. I do use wooden pencils for layering and for big jobs.

I suggest you try many diff. things you may find new ways to use them or like them even better than what I use.

alfred

cool, i used HB to 9B for the integra i did, and now that i have the hard set, ill use those too, see how i like it

i have an HB mech. pencil, my art teacher said i should get 2B lead for it, i might if i dont like using the pencils.

did u use a magnafying glass for the interior, cuz that looks hard to do. I like it.

Was it KARTOONZ that said: "hehehehehehe *evil laugh*"? And then we made fun of it calling Satin a child that hadnt gone through puberty.

Anyway Al. Get more progress. Oh wait, dont, I want to be in the spotlight.
