Re: Unfinished viper

Hey, Welcome to the Forum. That's a really good drawing, the colouring looks great. Did you do this freehand?

Re: Unfinished viper

its kinda hard to say its been getting done between other pieces I started it almost a year ago but as far as actual working time its been somewhere around 20 hours total time.
Now I have much more time on my hands to finish it but all of my supplies are in storage for at least two more months and all i have here is a pencil set.
So looks like im gonna be doing pencil drawings for a while.

Re: Unfinished viper

So does that mean you won't be finishing this one for two more months?

Re: Unfinished viper

Great proportions, great value, great color approach. However, take everything we say with a grain of salt until Chad (bonzelite) replies. Dont take Chad's critiques the wrong way. His trained eye will point out small hidden flaws.

Re: Unfinished viper

Nice!!! But I noticed a vertical line on the nose of the car. Seems to divide the picture a bit.

Re: Unfinished viper

the vertical line is not actually on the piece.
i had to remove the lid from my scanner and scan it in two parts then piece them back together in paint. I would have removed it with photoshop but i recently had my hard drive wiped clean and dont have it installed. The actual size of the piece is 18" by 24".

Re: Unfinished viper

I'm gonna play Bonz for a moment. The windshield has a dip that I don't believe should be there, the elipses are a bit off, not much though. The round light/fog light, whatever, is a little bit off. roof scoop back is missing, some shading on Carbon fiber lip/ front hood. Missing. Finally shading on back rim is missing.

Some of these are because it is a work in progress. But, some might be mistakes.

Re: Unfinished viper

Very good rendering. Like the others said you have some proportions a bit off. Just give everthing a double check before you render! I like the choice of car and angle.
