clean and very correct. great draftsmanship. refreshing.

try doing different wheel designs. you love the deep 5-spoke, as do i, but try something else. you've already done it.

for what you do, so far as all we've seen, you are spot-on. now graduate to reflections and rendering. i admire your lines. dazzle us with more now. time to remove your rev-limiter.

Bronze, you're right about the wheels, a bit of a crutch to fall back on. I haven't rendered a car in a very long time so I think I'm gonna stick to my pen sketches but maybe one day.

goman, that is all good.

i went to the site "car spy shots." i saw your stuff on there. there are some extremely talented people there. wow. i joined under the name "visual homage."

so if you see that name, it is me, chad.

Very cool Chad...look forward to seeing you there. Yep, I think there are some design students or professionals over there plus that's a superhuge site...a bit intimidating.

I don't think it's too much like the original. I know this is the hotweels car, but the body is the same...just the wheels are different.

No, I thought about that one though but I don't know enough about Pegeuot's history and I got some serious cold feet about competeing against real I'm-going-to-school-to-be-an-automotive-designer kids....and procrastination. :-)

Im going to ACCD to become a hot rod designer, and you are 200times better than me.

You're going to Art Center!?!?!? Say hello to Chip Foose when you go to work for him! :-) Thanks for the compliment but it took me a long time to draw like this and going to Art Center will put you on the fast track.
