07 Doge Stratus Pro Stock Car

here is my latest drawing. Larry O'Brien's Stratus. World Fastest Dodge Pro Stocker. Larry is a friend of my dad's and has a wealth of knowledge i only wish to gain in a lifetime. Patents held include the heads for the new hemi motor he designed and sold to Chrysler. Only about 1000 hours of design and CNC to get to that point ..lol..(ONLY)

This is still pretty rough. I have noticed that the hood scoop needs to be repositioned again.. hard to get the angle on them. Not sure why. Anyways..,. anything else you notice ?.. any C&C greatly appreciated. thanks again

nice! the angle is cool. are we gonna see this in photoshop, or something equivalent?

hi GB..thanks for the reply. yes my intentions are to render it in Photoshop and tighten up the line work in Illustrator...will show more when i make some progress.. thanks again!

What helps me with proportions is to build a box first and give it some center lines too. I then draw kind of like a wood carver and take sections off as
I then drop in fender tops, wheel wells, grill and glass.

I learned much about this technique from George Trosley's CAR-tooning book.
It's not the only way, but one that's been very helpful to me.

Took your doddle and dropped in a rough "box" in blue and moved some features in red to show what I mean.
