What do you think?

p.s. I didn't trace it KustmAce! like the freehand TVR I did which you wrongly thought was traced.

Awesome! could be a bit darker though..

I think it looks excellent.
Your freehand skills are awesome.

How large is the car rendering?

I would just make it darker like Quarter_mile said and add more ranges (pencil shades) esp. on the body.

Alfred

Thanks.

On a 1024 by 768 resolution monitor, It's exactly the same size as the original. My TVR was probably twice that. I'll try doing what you two said.

For my next project I'm thinking of doing a Caterham R500 Evolution. Ref Pic: http://www.fast-autos.net/caterham/r500evo.html

I think I might spend a little longer on this as there is alot more detail and reflections.

Ross

its outlined in sum places too, maybe change that

i like

i agree with every one else about how you should make it darker and add more detail.

i like you choice of ref. cars.

i think you should add a background to your next drawings.... other than that good :thumbsup:

Nice job man. I can not stand drawing something smaller than 12x18, even then I dont like that.

thats a little better then...

looks sharp!

dont get me wrong but i still sence some tracing going on. I mean put the ref. in front of the drawing and switch them, they r exactly the same! ? ! I may b wrong but I think ur still tracing.

it may LOOK like you're tracing, but it's hard to tell because the size of your drawing may just be close to the same size of the ref. I personally dont think you traced. but, I think the same thing as the others....darker

very excellent pencil drawing/sketch.

i honestly dont car if you trace your cars but please dont try to deny it.

i didn't stretch or distort any of the pictures so they would fit i anly resized it in proportion. looks pretty close to me

tracing isn't a bad thing (to me).

sorry if you honestly didn't trace it but it just seems too close.

this one kinda gives a cooler effect

Bloody hell did I get it that close?

No I didn't trace. I just measured out the length between the wheels and things like where the number plate start.

There are some things out like the spoiler and the letters on the number plate, and the right head light, which would be perfect if I had traced it.

Anyway, look at Stufbyalex's detailed outlines, their much more detailed than mine and are probably perfect aswell, and he doesn't trace.

It's just he spends longer on his drawings.

wow, for a non-trace thats bloody accurate!:eek:

Right, I've darkened it. Hope you like it.

I used a photo editor lol. Too lazy. I think it might be too dark...dunno.
Anyway im starting the Caterham!
It's going to be a full 30cm by 21cm!

Waaaaaay better dude... Next time, draw it like that and it'll be even better. Don't be afraid to make it even darker (on the painted surfaces) than the actual drawing. Also, be lighter on the pencil. See the backmost line, right baove the front wheel? You should leave that a bit lighter. It still has to be there, but make it a wee bit lighter.

it's a supreme compliment when others think you traced it. great job.

awesome drawing, awesome choice of car as well:biggrin: i wish i could draw that well in that amount of time

i agree with everyone here: the darkened drawing looks better, and you definitely should continue drawing that way. also that it's really accurate for a freehand drawing.(i can't draw as well freehand... i'm addicted to grids!!!) keep it up

!!! :D

Stuffbyalex: "i wish i could draw that well in that amount of time"

Thanks :), I wish I could spend 20 hours on my drawings and draw like you!

Nice job, i did a sketch of this car a long time ago, maybe i should post it, whenever i get my computer fixed.
:disappoin

If you did it a long time ago it was probably the 2000 Exige, I did the new 2005 one.

Hope you get you're computer fixed do I can see it though!
