i haven't posted any drawings lately due to the fact that i haven't really been drawing. i just finished both of these recently, the mustang was finished today. neither are shaded because im really bad at it and need help... the mustang is a drawing of my friend's car, and the s13 i found on the web. they were both drawn with the grid technique. teh mustang is probably the best drawing i've ever done.

i've got an enzo in the works, it will be posted when i finish...

finish those first they look good.

im not going to do anymore work on them, im not very good with shading and i need to practice.

lol...you need practice! :lol: every drawing i do is practice. i always improve. just try it out and see where it takes ya. if you are worried about screwing up your nice line drawings then trace YOUR drawing then shade it.

try out this tut...http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t104303.html


but don't reply to it...its an old one

i kinda know how to shade, but when i tried it on one of my other drawings, it turned out wrong. i don't really know how to start...i can shade a sphere and everything, but its hard for me to shade cars.

Do u use reference photos? If so, post them up here and we can help you on the shading techniques.

my experience with shading....

Well I have to say, you do excellent line drawings and proportions are great. We can start off with the exterior first. What I do, not sure about any others, but I very lightly mark off where my dark areas are gonna be at and leave those for later. What u might do for the mustang is bring the light source towards the front in the drawing, and lighten up the front end bringing out the crome more. First I lay down my light shades, in some larger areas I just put in light quick strokes (just all over the area, not trying to be neat) and then take a kleenex, or my finger and smooth the shade until it's an even shade across the area.

thanks, im gonna try that this weekend, i'll just print out another copy to try it on :)

hmmmm youll have to be creative with the shadows on themustang. find an other reference pic with the same angle and look off that one. the one you have now is too dark in the back and it has the basketball goal shadow in it.

Yup those line drawings are on point.

Can't wait to see the shading.

Hey, your teg is da-bomb. How many hours did you spend on that?

Alfred

excellent draftsmanship. great lines. excellent elipses. JDM S13 Silvia -excellent choice. awesome car. other than minor front fascia details, it rocks.

mustang is awesome. a bit more is there than S13. but both are very strong.

:iagree:

Can't wait to see the mustang finished!

Excellent out line. Now practice shading. you can always draw another car if you need to. But practice makes perfect.

Nice line drawings! can't wait to see them shaded!
Oh and on your s13, the body needs to be lower and your lines are a bit sketchy:)

the lines look smoother on paper, but some of them are sketchy. im gonna shade the s13, and the mustang will eventually be shaded...

and the teg took me over 30 hours. it was done over the coarse of 2 years. i worked on it off and on(mostly off).

Whoa! Ok, you know that if it took you 30 HOURS! to get the lines down, it will take youk a mellenia to get down the shading...

i was talking about my integra model, not my art...

the widebody integra, i must admit as a honda-hater, looks awesome.

thanks, but lets try to get back on topic. there is a separate thread for my teg, and dont post in it cause its old!

LOL, I couldn't imagine anyone spending 30 hours on an outline!

i was talking about my integra model, not my art...

hee hee hee

Ohhh, I get it know. Cool. That is understandable. Ok, nokw I get it. So, then how lonbg exactly did you take on your drawing?

i took 2 hours on the mustang, and 1 on the s13.

The first drawing is in need of some more detail, but the second 1 looks good IMHO.

yeah, the second one is a lot better(due to the fact that i spent more time on it)

Ahh yes, the return of Ran. So, Ran, are you going to enter my contest that I am running?

i have decided that i wont shade these two cars :headshake, instead i am going to shade the enzo that i just finished. i will post it when i finish the shading. thanks for all of your tips...:bigthumb:
