I spend about 4 hours on my first traced car ever. I used a vector grafic software called Zoner Draw, which is freeware.

The quality is ugly now because of resizing.

Any comments?

oh man thats great , the proportions are very good , i love those cars, is that a ford crown victoria ?

The vents in the grill arent straight/lined up with each other. The glare of the lights looks good, great work.

Sorry guys I hope you didn't get me wrong... the crown victoria was directly traced from a photo. I didn't draw it.
I might correct the vents but I'm a bit lazy...

looks good

tracing is a time tested method of illustration

as I have found out recently many many of the high end digital guys employ tracing methods. Tracing froma sketch or directly over a photo is more than accepted...in many instances it is preferred by clients who are after realism with artistic flair.

Interesting car choice. Nice job.

PM me and I'll give you some great links to help.

Already knew that, fix the vents and it will be great.

Just the front grille... Otherwise, everythign looks very good.
