Basic MSPaint work

[Shpyder]

I havent posted anything here before, even though I'm obsessed about car design. I've maxed out MSPaint, and really need to get to using photoshop. Nothing was traced, copied, or moddified from original desings. I'm also aware that I have severe angle issues when I tried to do that 3D bimmer!

I did these a long time ago:

"new" eclipse coupe (not what it is, but what I wanted it to be)



spyder



Lincoln prototype



Some random track car



2D dud truck



BMW random. This was the most difficult, since I tried to draw it in 3D in MSPaint... still cant get the angles right, so i gave up. I need to learn photoshopppp!!!! arrghhh.



I know these dont belong in the car section but, what the heck: Random pen and ink dragons:



Unicorn pen and ink with blue highlighter, scanned:



Pen and ink beast:



Hope you guys like the stuff! Once again, the MSPaint sucked tryinf to do 3D stuff. Any comments, critiques would be much appreciated, even if you think everything sucks!

Oh hell you're good at MS Paint but... your talent is wasted if you continue on MS paint. It's like you are on the way to a race driver but still riding a tricycle.


I'd really like to see some of your sketches w/ pencil or other non computer edited stuff.

If you want to do a step between MS Paint and Photoshop, I recommend Zoner Draw 3 (vector Software, available for free at zoner.com, just give it a try. Otherwise... just get a pencil and a sketchpad, that's all you need. I really like the BMW!!!

And the pic in your sig... is that your ride??? It looks awesome!!! I'd like to see more pics of it also!!!

Hahaha, well, no one's ever quite put it like that, but it makes sense
. I would really like to move up to do some serious graphic manipulation. I've been doing MSPaint for so long. I've gotten very good at controlling the lines and curves, but when I see all the stuff people do with PS, I know I'm getting left in the dust with MSPaint. I'll try out that freeware program you recomended though.

The ones starting with the unicorn were all pen and ink without any graphic touch-ups, but I'll try to scan some more soon. Some lady wanted to buy the dragon becuase she wanted it tattooed, lol.

Well if you are obsessed about real car design and not only photochopping, you will not need it at the beginning i think... maybe for cleaning up a bit.

I really like your ride, I'm from Germany and around here. eclipses are as rare as ferraris and it's unbelievable for me that a young man like you are regarding the photos? can afford and tune such a car. in my class 3 guys have their own cars, a tiny '92 colt is my mate's ride. As long as I go to chool I will not be able to buy my own car. It must be like Disneyland overthere, lol.

Used cars are cheap as nails here in America. You can get unbeleivable deals. Mine is a 1997 Spyder GS-T... I got it for $6500 with 110,000 miles on it. To add to that, Mitsubishi depreciates more than any car here in America, so that helped with the price too. I'm still in school, and have a job as well, so every paycheck I manage to put something into my car. I'm a British citizen actually, and I remember how expensive cars and tuning them is over there...not to mention auto insurance...insurance is different over here; there are no grades (out of 20). You just pay on the year and mileage of the car, so its affordable.
