it's a nice drawing but i don't think that it's realistic......

:iagree:its not that realistic

It should look more realistic for 1 hours work. The perspective's a bit box shaped and the shadings very rough.

Like everyone else said, its not that realistic. The back rim is larger than the front. The perspective needs a bit of work. The headlights look odd, and its lacking detail.

I agree that the shading is bad but on paper it looks better, Do you have any tips on how i could improve? thnx for replies.

Practice on keeping your line parralel, use the box method to help you. Eventually with lots of practice you'll get the hang of it and see where u've gone wrong to improve on it on the next drawing.

Work on the depth as well. For example, the wheels dont look 3D. They look like they are drawn on to the tires.

Good effort though!

I say try out the grid method, it seems to work for a lot of people.

uuhhmm. look at photos of cars in magazines first. pay attention to how the car is sitting on the ground. be aware of perspective. get a book on technical drawing/drafting. learn perspective and how it affects objects in space. you actually almost get it.

that is the first thing. next...

but, really, drawing is a hard thing to master. do not give up. we are trying to help you.

I Agree With All Your Comments, What Is The Box Method? Thanks A Lot For Your Comments.

see everything in life as a shape. reduce every object you see to basic shapes: circle, triangle, square. everything in existence is based upon these shapes.

expound upon it: create boxes to make buildings; cars -the roofline is a box with slices taken out, wedges, removed to create the slopes of the front and rear glass.

trees are cylindrical forms at the trunk -circles extruded. the tops are ovals and circles, all irregularly patterned. trees are like veins that run below and above the ground.

make everything a simple affair of seeing shapes. then chisel into the shapes specific forms. go from general to specific. from boxes and circles to entire cars. take walks and pay attention to objects. you will see the objects as if you have just arrived on earth, with new eyes. this is the gift of being an artist.

try that. :)
