Works here. Is that supposed to be a Scion xB? Are you drawing from memory or copying?

[Nannis]

i dont know what car i will try next any good you can tell me?

[67Shelbymustang]

try a side view of any real simple car like a 67 mustang from the side. not very hard i got better from drawing those everyday. of course im not suggesting you do that, but i love mustangs. i say do whatever but from the side 2d

H Nannys, try to do a light pencil sketch first, of the whole car, so that you see whether it fits on the paper in this dimension. Otherwise, scale it down.

If you did it with a reference, you may load that reference to a graphic maniplation program and make it lighter, so that the colors are nearly gone but the lines are still recognizable. then print it again and trace the lines on the car.
Try to get a feel where doors usually start at the side, size and angle of wheels... and all the stuff which is necessary for a car drawing.

As you look at the reference, try to find geometrically lines which give you help in finding the right position of a thing. e.g., in some angles, the cars a-pillar (that is the pillar at the windshield) would meet with the wheel center, if it would be lenghtened. do lines all over.

ill take that advice to lol

Maybe you don't have to try a specific car yet. Use a generic car shape and go with it. Try to get the proportions better.

[67Shelbymustang]

good idea tho i would start with a box and make your shape in side the erase and see what you got.

[Nannis]

thx i will try that!

Hi Nannis.
I think you are doing great. Keep drawing.
I want to be honest w/ you so that you can become a better artist. I have problems w/ this also. Concentrate on studying the lines of the object, I mean spend lots of time just looking and studying your subject. It is hard to explain on the Internet. I want to recommend a book to you.

I know it is not much but that is the best I can offer.

I think you said you live in Israel you might be able to get that book in your native language. It is very popular.

Take care
