Fire-Breathin'-Bird

This was another concept I did for another forum, my take on a new Firebird. This is one of my personal favorites and I hope you guys like her! Thanks for all the great feedback on my other posts, it's very much appreciated!

wow... i love it...

i'd actually consider buying it...those rims are interesting, i think pontiac would be very interested in your concepts.

^ I'd buy it too, but im only 16, without money... :(. I'd try to get a car design job if I were you.

I thought he had a design job...

im 16 too...just for future purposes...

your designs are really good...try to get recognized by more people and maybe you'll design cars for some company...

or you already do that, we don't know cuz you dont post anything but your drawings.

go to his chevy coupe thread...

im 16 too, YAY...

What do you know, I'm also 16, not really i just turned 17, damn :(. I feel left out now :D . Anywho, yeah that looks great! Like i said before, we need a tutorial.

Keep it up!

Hmmm... It looks suspiciously similar to the Aston Marton Vanquish

That looks really good. Like Mshkttck said, looks a lot like the Vanquish. Nice work though. I likey.

i'm 16 too, nah im only 15 1/2 but i like how uve incorperated the grill from the old firebirds.

Does anyone here know what kind of pen or pencil he uses?

I drew another with different headlights and the guys over at GMI HATED it so I switched the headlights to more of a cat's-eye shape so I guess it does kinda look like an Austin, not intentionaly though. I use a PaperMate ball point pen.

I first draw a series of rectangles in the perspective I like then start to draw the car. Then I do a series of underlays till I get the car where I want it. I use just my pen, a straight edge, and sometimes my elipse guides.

It's just a PaperMate Medium Blue point. Don't get the fine points, they tend to rip the paper while you're sketching. Just go buy some 'A' size copy paper and sketch. When you get a car you like, put a clean sheet over it and keep refining it till you get it where you want it. So, what's the car scene like in Australia?

but be careful, it isn't the pen that makes you a better artist. It IS the artist...

your concept is veeery great , but , i think it would be better if you coloured it :)

another nice concept, and great, clean sketch.... it does kind of look like an aston martin. Also, I agree w/ koganei- some rendering would be good.

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the great compliments, they are very much appreciated!! As for the other fourms, I belong to Cheers & Gears, GMI, and CarSpyShots. I was trying to find a Ford forum but I can't find one that allows drawings and the best one was from Australia but since I don't know my Australian Fords at all, I thought I'd skip that one. I haven't rendered a drawing in a loooong time and think I've forgotten how! :-) Plus I don't have any markers anymore so the whole color thing is out. I will try and put together some sort of "tutorial" that shows how I draw cars soon. A friend of mine asked me to do one for C&G also so that'll be killing two birds with one stone.
