i wanna try! i wanna try!







im in

I'd like to see someone do the front view one witht the reflections of the trees, it's a frigin nightmere! :screwy: . it'll take you till the end of time to do.

i will try this one later...

that ones psycho...

if it was a car other than a mercedes, i would do it,,,but i dont like mercedes...

You serious ilov2xlr8? All i got to say is good luck! If you could draw that you could draw anything and i think your capable.

:)

i think anyone can draw those, all they need is to take their time though

Man, the 5th on across looks so cool. I might try that one. I'll have to be feeling a bit :screwy: though.

secretmod, i really don't think anyone can draw that and make it look good. You'll have to be really talented. I wouldn't try a thing like that cuz i know it'll take ages and i'll just go crazy.

:)

i think anyone can draw anythign they want if they took their time and din't give up

say you are drawing the front view one with the trees.

first you do an outline...it looks good so you move on...

you start shading the normalparts and everything is going great.
you get to the tree reflections, and you mess up...you just erase the trees adn start over.

seriously...if a person is patient enough they can draw it...it will take much longer than a person who is really good at drawing but i think they can still complete it

but...they'd have to be REALLY patient

like. so patient that if someone cutz them off on the road, they smile and wave.

or someone steals their car and they hope hes having a good time driving it

that kind of patient

:smokin:

i did it in 2 1/2 hours...
now trying the 5th one
WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!

Woah, th's incredable. That really took u 2 half hours only? Nice one. And yeah good luck in drawing the front view. Can't wait to see it...

:)

if i hadnt just started a r34 project that took me 3.5 hrs just to do the front bumper and headlight which is all i have done so far cause i started at 130 am, i would try 1 or 2 of em...im trying to find away to post up what i have of the skyline...nobodies got a friggen scanner! lol

you have some skills, 21/2 hours.... thats real good

i sure cant draw that fast

good job...cant wait to see the 5th...good luck

Hm...if I can scrounge up some free time, I may have a go at one of these...

It can be my triumphant return!

Im gonna give it a try. Not sure when its gonna be done, but im doing the same one that ilov2xlr8 did, (not the one w/ the trees).

here's my 10 minute freehand :iceslolan

http://img56.photobucket.com/albums/v171/Jamesl/mercedes1.jpg

stupid camera shortened it :mad:

looks good

but people here arent interested to see if an outline can be made...they're interested to see if the refletions can be drawn properly while still making the car look normal.

good sketch though...keep doing what you're doing...mayb make it cleaner

im not even goin to try it.. ill get upset even tryin it.... sittin there tryin to make the reflections perfect... all i can say "Good Luck To The One Who Does The Front View."

Is that an actual car? In FULL CHROME?!?!?!?!?! if it is, I guess Mercedes doesn't have much else to spend their money on.....

Awesome drawing!!

here is a sneak preview

I see a mouse when i look at that.

Oh and on the earlier one you did i see you made a reflection of your sig on the car, NICE TOUCH!

Looks good so far. How long did that take? Good luck on the hood lol.

OMG it's really really really good i want to see it finished lol.. maybe u could give me sum tips too.. i new at this drawing thing

check out my topoic "engine for my car drawing" i'll be posting my car tom.

you missed a lot of leaves:) you see on the original..the green ones on the hood...you missed a lot of that

thats just being really picky :smokin:

oh...the bottom of the door shouldn't be that rounded as well...

should be flat and then at the end round off.

cant wait till this is done

i...i....i.....i-i-i-i-i....i...i think....oh dear, i think i just wet myself.... :eek2: that is freakin awesome yo...

we should have made this into a contest. make this one the car to draw.

that wouls be cool

not to late :wink: :lol2:

I'm in if there is one. We should have three tiers:

1. Pro
2. Semi-Pro
3. Amature.

Great work so far btw ilov2xlr8!!

i'll join if there is amature.. it will be my THIRD car lol..i'll do so bad..but i'm in...
will there be a time limit?

the right part of the hood need to be reworked a little...
61/2 hours into it (i've slow down)
http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/1/web/457000-457999/457118_95_full.jpg

you might have slowed down..but it is still really good dude:)

Umm, by slowing down, he's making it better, spending more time on it. Looking great!!

man i wish i could draw half as good as you can...wait...i can...dang it! i wish i could draw as good as you! :biggrin: im still astounding by this feat... :eek7:

man, keep up the good work... how many more hours u think u got.. lol. the cars better then mine and its not even done :bigthumb: :bigthumb:

DONE!!!!
i've put the original background with photoshop..
http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/1/web/457000-457999/457118_96_full.jpg

Amazing. Might I suggest lightening the background a bit?

Thats like WOAH! Amazing. What you do with all your finished masterpieces? You should set up a small business if you know what i mean ;)

Well done!

AMAZING TWO THUMBS UP! It looks so real man... Great Job. :bigthumb: :bigthumb:

wow. you did a GREAT job.

i think i might try this one as well in the future, looks fun.

very very well done.

wow

You sure you didn't just take the whole pic and make it black and white? :lol: *Lost in dream* Amazing job...Amazing... amazing...wow....*stops dreaming* Right, who's up for the comp to draw that pic?

i'd gladly enter a comp to draw that... but i have so many frikin projects. i have to do a lot of stuff, maybe in august ill do it.

And me, would a deadline of september be ok?

yah that should be alright.

aseanz, and stuffbyalex, will probly enter. well, they better.

maybe september 6th or something. i start school again on the 7th.

If they enter we'll have to have an extra tier, so we can stand a chance :). they'll have to be in 'Photorealistic' catagory :lol:

lol.yea

hopefully they'll be swamped with other projects or they miss the deadline :grinno:

Lol. OK, i'll go and create a comp thread so this thread can be for ilov2xlr8's drawing/s.

man, that's good. I'm really impressed. This is my favorite drawing from you so far! :biggrin:
