hi,
ive just done some exams and after id finished them i made a doodle of a car and i thought it looked rather good and i would like to know if there is a program i could use to make it on my pc ive tried ps cs4 using the magnetic lasso tool to sketch the outline but if i got a message id have to start again and i dont really like ps that much and is there any other programs i could use to sketch the side view of the car not 3d view i just want a side view and i dont have a tablet to use.

Scan the doodle in and trace round it?

Use a digital camera to get it onscreen, then if you want to redraw it create a layer and draw on the top layer with the photo underneath for a guide

how would i resize without making it blurry as it is probably about 9cm long

EDIT:ive attatched a screenshot after i scanned it everything thats in light im going to replace and i removed some stuff but how would i make it look more life like?

EDIT 2: the wheels are like that to show where they are and to cover up my terrible ones but the body panels should snug around the wheels

No offense mate, but that doesnt look that good.

Try using the Pen tool in photoshop.

Well, you have to start somewhere

I am crap at drawing my self to be honest

you had the same idea copying the wheels from a racecar. I did this a year or so ago

i just copied the wheels as thats the type id want on the car if it was real.

Maybe worth doing a trace in illustrator. It can turn ur image into a vector easily enough, it would just need playing about till you get it looking correct.

Or like was posted pen tool it..

this is fun. /me has decided to make it.

i wanted to make it in photoshop and make the edges better and sharper but using ps its too hard i wanted to make it form scratch but using that as a template

yay glad you like it. I used paint.net

Tadaaa!

Put it in Photoshop, make a new layer over the top - set it to 'Multiply' from the drop down box and paint away.

bah show off

Wasn't trying to beat you or anything, yours is more accurate to the drawing anyway

yay. Both of them were pretty good. Mine was more like the drawing and yours was more like a sharpened version.

Wow there is actually a lot of difference.

Yours is red mine is black

i like it as the overall design is based on a radical the rear is dodge viper gts-r concept/f40 style louvres also the interior has recaro wrap arounds. i also tried to design the front but it went terribly wrong

sorry for double post but oh my god you guys must be serioudly bored and have nothing to do took me a bloody hour to do one half then i got bored
