have your dream car drawn by me for you to buy!

UPDATE: After much deliberation I have decided that this site will be just for showing my work as I practice to get better. If you want to buy one, that's great but just take a look. It doesn't matter.

No offence, and i dont want to be a jerk or be mean or anything, but you might want to improve your drawing skill a bit more before you try and market your drawings on here. We are all artists on the sketching and drawing section, well, except from a few browsers, so if we wanted a car drawn, most of the people on here would do it themselves.

The work is good, but a few things could be improved.

well, no OFFENSE your spelling isn't the best either!!

He's British, lives in England, the place where English was invented.
That's how "offence" is really spelt.

Cool. Nice way to start. I would suggest however to keep sketching and to put more practice into it. It will help you in your goal. There's alot of amazing artists out there, and it takes alot of time and effort to be able to reach a point were you can sell them to public. If you want to start, check out cafepress.com, see if they sell...I would also suggest to shut down your tripod website as it closes alot of doors for you. Each time a visitor goes on your web pages, alot of pop-ups and publicity occur. it is not pleasant to viewers and does alot of damage to your ''store's'' visibility, but thats just my point of view.
Have fun !

Sorry if I have errors in my text, I'm mostly french !

Your English is very good. Thank you for the advice. You are right and very polite I appreciate that. Thank you again.

I think you lost the board on the first few posts, but that is just my opinion. I sensed some hostility. Anyway, I just wanted to commend you on your reflections and marker techniques, but in order to sell your work on a site like this, you need to hone your perspective skills. It looks like you freehanded your wheels and rims. You might take interest in using some ellipses and some geometry to get your rims looking more symmetric. I would however love to have the skills that you do as far as coloring. Maybe you could get paid to color my drawings. ;-) Check them out: http://www.geocities.com/onemodelcitizen

Thank you for the kind words...yeah I did not like the way that the first two posters approached their comments. Yea I need to use my ellipses more i'm really trying...I just graduated from college in Art Ed and I am struggling to find a job in the schools but I am teaching a drawin and sketching class at an arts and crafts store and I work at an after school art program too. I'm just trying to make my mark in the world. All the while trying to work on my own art. I appreciate the encouragement about the coloring. I've sold one drawing already which is encouraging too. Possibly another one in the works...I am going to practice a lot this weekend with rulers and ellipses.

man the link is dead man

First of all, this is a public forum, so not everyone will give you the cherry on top in the beginning. Everyone has their own opinion about it, and simply, what Chris said is partially correct.
You need to improve a bit more on your dimensions and angle before selling them to people in here, your coloring is okay, there's a bit more room to improve but you're on the right track. Most of us are either car designers or draw cars equally or better than you. No offense, but your drawings are good, but not enough to move people into buying it from you. Try practicing a bit more until you feel it's awesome and original to be sold. Plus, don't use existing pictures from other people or companies for they will sue you for infringement for using their pictures for profit. Just because you graduated from a Art major doesn't necessarily make you the best. It's good that you're trying to find a place for you out in the world, but take it slowly. Art can't be rushed. It's a learning process.

I never said I was the best. I do understand this is a public forum. Ihave thought a lot about what everyone has said. I do not copy pictures, but you are right about using certain brands, companies.

PS. I apologize for any hostility that might have surfaced...mainly to the first two posters. sorry.

Im by no means taking back what I said. even if I kinda just agreed with nicecar. But I took huge offence to ur post. This isn't the home shopping network. its a community of artists. No one wants to buy ur drawings. I also can appriciate where ur coming from . U are so proud of ur artwork and u should be. Its not bad its rather good. But 2 sell it here is like tryin to sell hamburgers to Ronald McDonald.

I'm going to be my usual honest and perhaps blunt self; I have to say I'm not too impressed by the stuff you show on your site. Add to that your intent to pull in business and sell to a forum that has some great illustrators as members in and it is almost insulting to their level of skill.

For the record, I am not an artist.
Never liked that title.

I'm sorry I responded in a blunt fashion too. I don't take criticism too well. I'm working on it. But I appreciate the nice things you just said. If you notice I am no longer selling them. It's just a place for people to look at it. Anyways once again I apologize you personally:frown:

Well, at least you're honest. But if you notice I am no longer trying to sell them. Too much confrontation from the people at this board. It's now just a place to look at my art. I do not appreciate your "Add to that your intent to pull in business and sell to a forum that has some great illustrators as members in and it is almost insulting to their level of skill." comment. That's uncalled for. :nono::disappoin

nevermind...

wow, a little critism and you go, never to return.
How mature of you...

I would've thought a person who has been through some sort of art/design course would be used to blunt and to the point comments.

Alright let's just have a truce. I am sorry for my comments. I just thought it was a lil out of line. I over reacted I admit it. I need to learn a lot about stuff just as everyone. So I apologize to you too ok?

But 2 sell it here is like tryin to sell hamburgers to Ronald McDonald.

:grinyes: :grinyes:

10/10 comparison!

except I hope you're not saying the stuff is here is only as good as McD's hamburgers.....

Im sorry man, i did many times say i didnt want to be a jerk or offend you, and yeah im english so offence is spelt properly to me, since english was invented here.
Im sorry, but i just wanted to give you some advice
Posts can be taken the wrong way here, and im sorry i caused any hostility whatsoever. I agree with the edited post that you are just going to post your work on here, and that if anyone wants to buy one, you can state price etc in the post.

Im sorry for giving you advice, and next time i just wont bother to take 5 minutes of my time helping you

^ That could be debatable where English was invented, but I won't go there. :) But yeah, British English is actually considered the "Proper" English compared to "American" English. Me, I personally prefer the proper English in the U.K. Ain't that right mate?
