Re: Hsv Gts

It's actually a nice drawing, but the perspective is off, and so there's only a little "Wow-effect".

Try box design. Draw a box and slowly shape it into a car. Draw ledger lines all over your drawing, tryto look through it.

An example:

Your gearshift. Imagine your car from above. Or take a look at your die cast. The gear stic is in the center (left/right) of the car, and about at the middle of the length between A-pillar and b-pillar. It is placed nearly on the floor of the car.

Take your drawing and construct a line from the center of the front bumper all the way down to the center of the rear bumper. It's nearly parallel to the beautiful GTS side skirts. This was for the left/right coordinates.

Next, draw two vertical lines from the a-pillar (thats the one where the side mirror is mounted to) and b-pillar (the one above the door handles) down to the side skirt and mark the cutting points. (You can use the door shut lines here). Then, draw lines through these two points, parallel to the front bumper. (In fact they are not perfectly parallel, but that doesn't really matter).

Somewhere, they cross with the line with which we marked the left/right center with. In the middle of the lines section between these two points, is the gearshift. A little higher of course, since it is over the gearbox.

In your drawing, I'd locate the gearshift in the area of the side mirror. It's therefore invisible.

English is not my mother tongue and so I don't have any clue whether you understood what I wanted to explain in the text above. If not, I can make a sketch for you.

Keep it up, try some simple see-througs in order to make yourself clear where which parts are placed, whether they are visible or invisible.
