I thought I would draw the back of a car since i never really see any.

I must say you got the lines down really well on this one. The thing I see is that again you need to practice on the rims, and maybe darken the picture more (this could be the camara or scanner). The wheel well looks great, but the rims both look like they're leaning a little, and the back one looks a little misshapen. Also, try not to outline areas, use the difference in value to make the lines for you (refering to the break lights). It's a really good job, I especially like the reflections on the window, and the underside of the wing. Good job.

I really appreciate you helping me with my drawings. Yes I hate drawing rims I suck at them. And the outlining, I normally dont do that but I noticed my reference pic had a bold dark line around the tails. Im finally getting good at reflections, Im glad you noticed.

That's what we're here for. If you can find them, asaenz says that elipse tools work really good for drawing rims and tires. Okay, didn't know the picture had the line around them. Yes, you are doing really well at those reflections, they are awesome.

What up GtMike400.

You eclipse is looking pretty good. AirAllen01 allready mentioned the rim/tires. I am not sure if you seen this yet or not. The link below has a nice tutorial on drawing ellipses (free hand) the key is to draw a cross representing the major and minor axis of an ellipse then look at your negative space (inside your elipse along with the cross hairs (maj/min axis lines) make sure your spacing is good between all four quadrants.

Just check the link for some diagrams. Go to studio tips then "E" for ellipse.

The body of the car looks great. I think AirAllen pretty much said it, so no need to repeat (honda).
