i still need to shade the drawing. its based on The Fast and the Furious Supra.

:feedback:

Looks great. Not everybody can draw an engine bay that looks good, but you handled it really well! One thing i see is the spoke spacing on the back rim, otherwise everything looks great.

BTW: please do me and everyone a favor, and don't draw any ridiculous fast and furious decals on it. :)

Alex

yea, the engine bay is very well drawn, good work

Nice! Looks good.

nice one

yes you are good :D well done: dont worry be happy :D :P

woooow!!!
you are nuts!!! that's look absolutely GREEAAAAAT!!!
i love it :D

thanks for all the great replies :) .

i fixed the back rim(or tried to) and i dunno if anyone else notices this or if its just me but the valve cover thing looks kinda like its tilted up. i tried to lower it a little. i also finished shading(which i am not good at). this drawing took forever with all the measuring and stuff.

and dont worry, im not going to draw the decals on the car but i think im gonna draw in the logos of the companies in the background.

here it is done:

its not really that smudgy. i had to make it lower resolution so i could put it in my gallery on AutomotiveForums.com.

one more question: how do you keep a pencil drawing from smudging when you're done with it?

if you cant get it behind glass. hairspray will work. be carefull not to spray too close. it doesn't take much.

try a matte fixative

periodic spraying should help.

hairspray depending on brand is a viable option, but fix is cheap.

If you're getting heavy pencil residue build up you might try a less toothy surface, and last but not least draw from left to right using a blank piece of paper under your drawing hand. (righty's)

where's Alex he's got to be able to chip in on this one?

That is a very good drawing. The acuracy looks right on.

I like to use a clean peice of paper under my arm. That helps a lot. I would use fixative instead of hair spray, just me though.

looks nice. dont really noe what to put on top of it.

nice work. i think u can be a bit more "aggresive" with the shading.. (make things darker, more contrast)

yea... i suck at shading. its probably what i need to practice the most but for some reason i never really wanna do it. probably cuz i dont know how.

thanks for the help with the fixative stuff. some of my other friends also helped me with that.

when you guys draw from a reference pic how do you go about doing it? do you first draw all your lines the draw in the right curves and stuff? what i did was i draw all these straight lines all over my reference pic and then drew them on my paper. then i measured with a ruler and started drawing in curves and such. maybe ill try freehand soon.

thanks for all the comments!
