here is a piece I did this morning while trying to decide what I wanted to draw next.. it is a work in progress and will be finished in PS someday...

Great toon, luv the exaggeration of the body.

[elcamino6t9]

hey thanks Blip..everytime I post a toon on the pages i think of you and your toons....great to hear from you. I went back over it last night and changed a few things., I wanted to make the fenders flare out more .. I felt the front especially looked too small (see above)...so I re-did those.. I will post an update later ... thanks again.. you too GB... thanks!!

awesome man,luv the headers and front wheel ,great stuff

[Roboduck]

Great toon. Clean, flowing lines gives it that exaggerated acceleration feel. Looking forward to seeing it colorized! Robo

looks great, keep it up

the more I look at it ..the more i think that the rear end is too long.. am I right?.. i think it should be more compact..even in a Toon as exxagerated as the toon is. I have been racking my brain and looking at photos.. I altered the image to show what I think it should look like... any opinions on this.. you can also see the updated wider fenders on this one... want to make sure the design is tight before i render thanks

my honest advice

don't over think it...thinking will crush your progress.

The linework looks great. I'd move on. Is there a such thing as too long in a cartoon?

the work looks great like I said. Drawing is 95% mental....go play with 5 now.

Looking forward to seeing the final.

I think lemorris has nailed it, don't over-due the self-critic stuff.
We become our own worse enemy.

For structure/shape issues, the biggest thing I worry about is the perspective lines.
(I still struggle with wheel & tire Ellipses.)
The exaggeration and proportions of a toon is what makes the image yours and kind of flows from your mind to your hand.
Only you know how far you want to take it, but for me, I make sure the perspective guidelines still work out in the final shape.

The perspective looks right to me and the exaggerated shape is very cool.

Hope that helps a bit.

Ditto... and advice from Lemorris and Blip is priceless. It looks great as is... have fun with it and let us see the finished product. Robo

wow.. I am speechless.. I appreciate all the feedback from you guys.. and looking at those it came from and the work you do, it only inspires me to pick up the project and run..thanks to you all..I will get to work...

[elcamino6t9]

starting to make some progress..trying a new technique for colouring the image with CS2.. thought I would throw it up here for those who wish to see some progress... C&C always welcome
