Man it is hard to finish stuff on sunday.
I shaded my red with dark red. Is that bad? :eek7:

Not as cool as the orange and yellow on the mustang.

Trouble???? That looks freakin' sweet!

Thanks subyfanatic! :)


I like your new sig.
I think i dig the fourth girl from the left the most :)

Looks very good but which technique did u use? wacom?

Subyfanatic: post more, I like the sig.

Thats really nice! its near picture

With the shadowing falling the direction that it is, you might want to try a highlite or two on some of the high crowns on the front of the car. If you still can. The side highlites are fine.

Thankyou guys!
I posted it in another forum and got nothing. :)

Knight vision, I did it as a pen drawing then colored it in ps.
Clearhooter. Man, i do need to add some hilites the the front.
:)

As Clearhooter posted--your front end looks a little too "dull" in color, based on your light source.
Needs a little more hightlighting.

Great drawing.

Wow man that looks great.
Nice coloring job.

I don't have much to say. I guess some lighter tone on the hood but other than that I think it is fantastic.

It's weird how letting someone critique brings out the obvious. None of my friends are graphic artist. But I take my stuff over to their house and let them look at it anyway. As they look at it, I do as well. I put them under a different lighting or am able to stand away from it and get a different perspective. Maybe drink a beer or few over it. (Not recommending this.) I usually come up with something I need to do that obviously needs to be done. When I worked at a newspaper as a pressman; none of the writers proofed their own work. It was said it couldn't be done efficently. Probably the same goes here.

Thankyou guys!

that's because they're dicks.

nice work, again.

Thanks bonzelite - asaenz - clearhooter and blip :)
You are all very cool to reply to my stuff.
I don't know if they are car haters at the
"drawing board" but they never have
much of anything to say. Most of them are much
better than I will ever be but don't even take the time
to make suggestions. :(
Clear Hooter, you are right about proofing stuff :)
It is really hard for me to see the mistakes in my work after
looking at it for a long time. Sometimes the mistakes
showup the day after and sometimes not.
But somebody else can point them out noproblem.

they are arrogant, and they have forgotten that they were only beginners at a time in their lives. what is the web site address? i'd like to see their work.
drawing board?

Well, if you learned one thing it's that you post here, not over there. Let's see some more work.

Couldn't give a better answer! :evillol:

Nice! i really enjoy looking at your artwork.

Alex

:) I agree. Everyone here has been much cooler. I really
appreciate all of the replies and crits. :)

Bonzelite it is:
http://www.sketchbooksessions.com/thedrawingboard/index.php
Seems alot of comic artists, illustrators and cartoonists hang there.
And get most of the replies. There is some awesome art there.
Mostly figures. I don't know if its the way I work or the
subject of my work but they dont care much. I guess i could look
at it as a reason to improve my work but
it is mainly just discouraging :)

And thanks again alex for taking a look at my stuff! :)

Only small updates on this one. Not very drastic. My source photo had
few hilights on the hood so I made some up. :)

Nice-nitude. I likey.

grant, i went to that site and glossed it over. mmmm. on first impression, the great quality of stuff notwithstanding, they more than likely cannot relate to what we do here. that site seems to cater to more the organic, story-telling, style, art crowd.

to them, as i hypothesize, what we do here is probably too "narrow" or "juvenile" for them, as they may be somewhat bordering on being artistic eltist snobs. they may see drawing cars as "only" a childish phase that, like puberty, must be "grown out of." and that is a stupid way of seeing things.

but i don't know. i really think they cannot relate to this specific niche-centric car culture stuff. as for me, i can play both sides of the fence, and offer them just as much attention and criticism of their art, too. i don't only draw cars, eventhough they are the most fun things to draw that i can think of, besides nude women.

i find that site "soft" and pastelly, and perfumey. and i think that kind of general personality, skewed a bit feminine, cannot handle the hard, edgey, engineering, brass balls kind of well-hung horsepower mentality here.

That is great stuff! You couldn't be more right! I think
you nailed those guys. :) If you didn't rip off bruce timm or spumco or some
other more feminine 60's cerial box illustration they don't like it.
I love your take of that place. :) I like your take of this place too!
It fits!

:lol2:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

maybe kustmace can hold a new contest: "most tasteless drawing against pretentious fairy art contest." "must be politically incorrect and as offensive to fine-artists as possible."

That sounds cool :)

It may be small updates, but this image is really nice. I think you've reach the end! No more improvement needed
