hey dood. nice going. looks great so far. i quite like this one. a few crits thou. the windscreen looks awfully flat. some highlights on there would be cool. another thing. dont press down too hard on the paper when drawing. the pencil lines really show. get a pencil set ranging from 4h to 4b. those are a set with really hard and really soft pencils. you get some nice shading done with those. also theyre very cheap. also you might want to look into markers. theyre an amazing tool to have. alot of fun to use. also try clean up and optimise your sketch in a program like photoshop. you can add touchups really easily and really give everything a nice touch. i hope you dont mind, i did a little paintover for you to show you what i mean. all i did was add a few gradients and layered them over your image and cleaned up the levels. keep ging. i think youre doing great!!!

i agree with everything everyone said here, with the exception of the photoshop editing. In my opinion, a drawing is a drawing, not a computer aided picture, but thats just my technique, if your still learning its best to try new things. Also, about that Lambo emblem in the background...is it erased? If so, you may want to try to erase it more, and if not, you need to darken it so its legible, because as it stands, it really takes away from the picture. and finally, the shadow under the car seems to need a little work, it makes it seem to stand lower than it actually does, anyway, look at your reference shadow very closely, and work on that. But overall, i like it!

[tUsCaN_rAiDeR]

thank u...man u should see my reference foto...i dunno why i used it. there is no one light source, its in a black room and the car is yellow. the foto looks cool tho
oh yea, the logos actually quite dark...there even a layer of shadow on the car that doesnt show up, and the shadin u can see it very dark. i figured out wot to do so that my scanner doesnt kill it, i have to change the contrast
thanks for the help

was this your ref. piccy?



if so, then ur right, it isn't a very good reference pic at all not many highlights reflections. but u did good with what you had

[tUsCaN_rAiDeR]

yea thats the one, except it was less than half that size and there was no light in the background at all...but its a damn cool pic aye
