where do u start?

hey im just wondering where do u guys start drawing a car? eg. wheels? the back? the glass? the hood? or do u jst randomly pick a spot and go fom there? because for me. as soon as i set a rough (VERY rough) outline of the car i go from there.

nice cars! i like the concept car. =O wheels.. wheels it is....

I start with the front wheel well.

I start with the grill. If it don't have a grill, I start randomley. (by random I mean wheel well)

i start with the space between the wheels, measure it so the proportions will be ok!

I start with a sacrifice and a symbolic funky chicken dance to the art Gods.

Actually it depends. I guess most times I start with a real light real rough box, and then tires.

If it's a toon I throw down sketches without thinking until I hit on one or two I like. Those sketches have no particular starting point.

Nice drawings. You color that red one in Photoshop?

i start from right lamp,
because everycar have lamps ^___^

click my signature for my image gallery ^___^

of cuarse it depends on the angle of the car, but i ALWAYS do the wheels at the end of the drawing.

wheels last car outline first for me

For me, outline of cars first then ouline of wheels, then shade left to right.

i usually start in the middle of the page

and i go from there

:icon16:

i do shadowZZZ first, then the windows and around that area, dont know why

wheels last

:lol2: Well I start on the right head light when its a kinda front side view, but when its a full side view I start at the wheels. :iceslolan

I always start from left and go to the right. that way i won't smear any shading.

unless your left handed :biggrin:

i just don't think about it. i normally take me a while just to figure out where to start (maybe even a couple pieces of paper).

Usually the front bumper.

if you go to the thread of your S15 kartoon, i have provided a brutally honest approach to car drawing. there is much more i can say about this, but you must begin and not be too scared away nor intimidated away. this is a brutal and painful time you must face ahead of you. and you must discover a way that makes it worth your while, makes it fun while you are in torture.

in short, you will be in pain and feel helpless. but this is not how it will always be. you must accept that you are in command here. not the car.

read the post in your kartoon thread.

i am left-handed.

I start out doing lines and scribbling until i see something, then take the eraser on my pencil and start erasing things until you get a car. The last things i do are the wheels, because they depend on the angle of the drawing.

I'm kinda with RB26...most of the time I start with the hood and angle of the windshield and then I just complete the front end shading and all, then start workin with the back end. Wheels are always last for me too.

yes. i do the wheels lastly as well. that is often the most critical part. and they are angle-dependent.

sometimes i start with the lead wheel(the nearest to the front) other times i start with whatever is on the lefthandside of the picture

jus me!?

I start always from side skirt.

I start from the side skirt most times, but not always...
