Fly Box Truck



As many of you know I'm pretty new to the drawing scene. I'm used to drawing 2D drawings, but I'm stepping and trying to maybe do a boxtruck. The picture I have, is from my cam, which it's not that great. I am using just a .05 lead mech. pencil, that's all really.. I might use a ruler or something later. The black lines are just from Photoshop 6, and I even left them crooked how they are in my pic.. I will definately work on the shape first before I try to do other hard things. The picture has the truck I'm trying to draw, and as best as I could the boxtruck I have out of my Truckin' Nov. 2003, Page 63 magazine. It's a neat box truck, slammed to the ground with flame graphics if you can't see it.. I honestly think this is about the most basic shape to try.. Seeing how I literally tried to draw a 3D box and then kind of added and erased off of that. If that's what I need to do, then so be it.. Just as long as it works for me. Like I said this is just the outline, and the outline is crooked, and it is a little better than the PS version I have posted.. you just couldn't see the pencil lines. Anyways, tell me what you think about the relative shape of it.. Any suggestions would be cool.. I'm not trying to make this the best pic I'll ever make, but I'd like to try it.. I might even make a definate shape of the truck.. Outline it in a fine tipped sharpie and use it to practice shading/objects/etc. Thanks for the replies.

Re: Fly Box Truck

If you are having problems drawing anything, go ahead and trace it to get yourself accuctomed to the shape. I know a lot of people on this board may not agree with that but it is a good way to get into perspective drawing.

Lol, I know what you mean, he has some great work, as well as you two. It's hard to trace because I can't always see clearly where a line is or not. I always would look at my car magazines I'd get and then just put them in my closet with the rest.. I have a few of em.. like 100 or so.. lol, misc. ones.. Truckin', Lowrider, and Import Tuner.. I have others like JC Whitney and Crutchfield and things, but this magazine of truckin' I have here that has the box truck in it, has 370 pages.. it's a huge magazine, I think. Thanks for the suggestions.. I might try drawing it.. I might just make up stuff to put on there.. The more I thought about it, the box I drew, and the way the boxtruck is sitting, are 2 different angles.. Mine's like I'm looking down on it more.. Oh well . Thanks again.

Re: Fly Box Truck

there a many tutorials here, and elsewhere on the net regarding perspective. You may want to look into that. Like, see how the line for the front of the roof is angled more up, and the line for the front of the bumper is angled don kinda, thats not good. If you need more detail i can explain further. Just let me know
