Aww...C'mon, that's all you could do for the BG! Boo! Lol, j/k....

car looks great. but(dont be offended)the background looks terrible. it really needs more time spent on it. I know it was a quick one, but the way it looks right now it's taking a lot away from the car.

[bonzelite]

that mitsu is great, alex.
respect environments, as well. for future consideration.

[stuffbyalex]

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I know the background is bad, but I was getting sick of drawing this. :S

[bonzelite]

you are finding that the background is just as much weighted as the car is insofar as visual importance --the car is merely the "leading man." but what about the supporting roles? movies seldom have only one character.

muhahahahahahaha muhahahahaha

see? car looks pretty good, background is bad = both look bad.

see? movie has great leading man, other actors are bad = whole movie is bad.

nicely explained

[Skribble.designs]

Its well drawn. The wheels are a bit out. And the background :o. Anywho, still like it as a drawing.

[stuffbyalex]

Thanks for the comments, and Bonz: thanks for the analogy.

Alright, you guys convinced me to make the background better. It's still not good, but I went over it a few times to get rid of most of the graininess.

Btw, the scan still made it sorta crappy and it showed the ripples in the paper.

looks better.

maybe take it into photoshop and finish the b/g even better. then save it at a high resolution. burn it to cd-r. then take it to a printer and have them output it.

tip for a more solid color on the background try moving the pencil in small circles instead of crosshatching it takes a lil longer but the end result will be much smoother it should also help to prevent the paper from stretching too much in one direction which means less rippleing.

[bonzelite]

i think alex knows that. i think he just threw this background together at the last second because he was tired of it.

[Kanibal]

probably.
still doesn't hurt to let that piece of info out though.

[bonzelite]

true.

[stuffbyalex]

actually to tell you the truth, I didn't know that. But now that you tell me it seems really obvious. Thanks for the tip.
