Re: bmw m3 gtr

well its pretty awesom, i love bmws. just a couple of things, the left hand flared wheelarch sticks out just a little too far; the right headlight looks to "open" (i cant describe it), i mean that the bulbs are the right size but the rest needs to be narrower...sorry for the bad description

apart from that not much, jsut generally clean up a few lines and it will be awesome

Re: bmw m3 gtr

yes I agree... considering I spent just more than an hour on it... and that the hour was 11:00-midnight... its actually pretty good if I do say so myself.

I really like this.

The only thing I would do is to get rid of the text up top.
That is just me though.

Awesome work. It looks very proportioned and you have excellent free hand skills.

If you want a more semi-real look get rid of the hard lines and keep your shading strokes close together and then blend some.

I personally like the sketch look.

it looks good now but if you would have spent a little more time on it, it would have been even better

Re: bmw m3 gtr

I like it. Great proportion. I normally like the smooth shading but I like the short strokes you did.

Re: bmw m3 gtr

Yeah, I think that you should smooth it out some. I like it, but I say it would look much cleaner if you smoothed the shading

Re: bmw m3 gtr

this is a sketch, a freehand drawing, and it's purpose is to be that. perhaps it could be a foundation or study sketch for a greater purpose. but as a stand-alone sketch, it is pretty damn good, fella.

you got skill.

Re: bmw m3 gtr

I did use a ref pic, but glanced at it only every now and then for the most part.

here's the slightly improved version:

Re: bmw m3 gtr

ec437, you have permission to use reference pics. how else can you know what the car looks like specifically? i can tell you did sketch it from a pic and glanced at it. that is perfectly legit. the only thing better is to have it in front of you in real-3.D space.

Re: bmw m3 gtr

yup you have got the size of that headlight correct, and al the other stuff has been cleaned up

just a lil thing, the headlight size is good but its a bit angular now, it needs to be smoother and more rounded for the beemer model ur going for. other than that its pretty awesome
