McLaren F1 LM progress

I just started on this one yesterday. Since it's summer and so theres no school, I don't see the normal people who I ask for tips. Any suggestions that you may have, tell me. Everything will help.

That's amazing! Looking great so far. Can't wait for an update. BTW, I LOVE THOSE HEADLIGHTS!!! :D

:)

astounding.

looks very good, did you use a grid?

oh whats the black outline thing on the right mirror. on the top of it, is that supposed to be there?

looks good mango, keep up the meat salad.

Very well proportioned. Looks great...But you really should use more contrast in your shading, and that left headlight needs to curve down a bit more on the top....but I am nit picking....

Thanks for the all the compliments. I'll keep you updated as I go.
I drew this freehand, but I did use a method to get a couple of points for reference.
The black outline above the right mirror is supposed to be there, its like a plastic edging.
Unfortunately I have a crappy scanner and so it doesn't pick up as much of the contrast that there truely is, but I know I could use some more contrast. The part that isn't shaded is not exact and I will be changing that headlight.
Keep the comments coming.

.

what method is that...


well, looks really cool, and i cant wait for updates.

kick ass.

Looks really good, the shading's nice and smooth and the proportions are spot on! Keep the good work up.

SeCrEtMoDdEr- Its the same as using these- http://www.artstuff.net/proportional_dividers.htm
but instead I just use a compass and alittle math.

Woah! they sure are expensive. But sound really usefull.

:)

Heres another update. Just finished the second headlight, but I still have some touching up to do on that and also the rest of the car. Going pretty good so far I think.

Outstanding!

kicking more ass.

Looking good! Nice to see a front view drawing for a change. Sccrplyr06, are you going to enter my comp?

beautiful...

i like...is there any way you can make the front grill vent things pure black? or did the scanner just lighten it up.

The scanner did lighten them up, but once I am done I always go over the black spots to get them as dark as I can.

Ra_15- I'm thinking of entering it, just matters if I have the time to do it. I'll have a try at it though.

wow! awesome job.

I'm really impressed with the shading and the proportions.
