[ 350Z ]: are you using a transparent/see trought paper for it, or only your eyes? anyway these are amazing!

oh, i can't draw

I draw since I was a small child, but I've started improve step by step . When I was 10 years old I drew characters from my favourite PC game (lol I can't say which game ) trained perspective and only used eyes and my hand.

2 years ago I've started with grid drawing when I tried to draw from reference pictures and sometimes I use this technique for some of my drawings for better accuracy which is needed when using reference photo but only sometimes. When the sketch was done, then I erased the grid.
I'm using my eyes and the good tool is ruler too. Only sketch takes me about approximately 2-3 hours (it depends on paper size, could be also more). It is very light and easy to erase.
But I see a lot of things I must improve especially perspective on other works, contrast between lighter and darker parts and of course shading too.

And the wheels are the hardest thing to do on each of car drawing inclusive of tailights too. With wheels I spend the most time and the result isn't always good.

If you want to draw with coloured pencils Prismacolor is a great choice. They are very popular and the people recommend them. What a pity that I can't try them because over here isn't any shop or vendor that sale this great pencils and I must do with Koh-i-noor pencils. Their quality is quite good but I want more .

Quote from MAGGOT :

I remember your old FZR drawing from a little while back (in fact, I think maybe these threads should be merged? Now I forget what that thread was :schwitz which was very good, but you've definitely improved! Very, very nicely done. Yes, drawings of people are often regarded as the most difficult to do. They say that if you can draw a human hand you can draw anything. Do you only draw life-like, or do you do any more stylized works?

Even though I had a lot of troubles with shading ...with that portrait I had a lot of fun . It was a great challenge for me. Recently I draw in my free time only cars and portraits.

Quote from sam93 :

350Z, do you use colouring pencils for the colouring of the car or do you use a pen because I have seen pens what you can do shading with and was just wondering if you knew what the name of this type of pen is.

I only use couloured pencils, mechanical and regular graphite pencils. I want to start with markers but still I have troubles with getting some of quality markers here like Prismacolor or Faber Castell. Globally here is a big problem getting quality art tools. I'm planning order them from eBay.
Sorry for my english, hope you understand what I thought .

First one (Peugeot) is on A3 paper and Civic on A2 paper (my boyfriend's car, present for him on his birthday). I really enjoy drawing cars but recently I realised my first portrait with people faces and that was the most difficult drawing I've ever done so far .

Quote from jamesrowe :

I love the way she does not reply to any of us when talking about her .

Can I ask, is it like a sixth sense to ignore it all?

Anyhow, back to the subject, you will have members of teams asking for a "drawing render" of team skins. hehe

I can't reply to each of posts, it is impossible

Heh "drawing renders", that's very nice idea, but it will take a lot of time to finish only one of them so I think that couldn't be realizable for a longer time.

Quote from MAGGOT :

That makes it all the more impressive that you've come this far with your drawing. I'd still recommend one though, if you can afford it and have the time.

I thought over this opportunity but I'm still not sure. Before I decide I should think over that

Thanx for suggestions

Please, obey the speed limit, while you fly

And some pics with XRT

Quote from MAGGOT :

Have you taken any drawing classes? I've known about the box-theorum for some time, but my Structural Drawing class helped me a lot. It teaches things like curves and cylinders in perspective. All that theory can be applied to some more complex shapes, like cars, with careful forethought and a light hand.

If you haven't taken such a class I'd recommend taking one if for no other reason than it could possibly help out a bit.

Like I said, it does look very very nice despite its little flaws. Can you draw a FOX?

No, I haven't taken any drawing classes, all what I know I have been learning for a long time and without anybody's help.

FOX? Oh, for sure, yes I can

Firstly a simple matter is, that I draw in my free time and I'm not car designer, professional or something like that and make so much basic mistakes.
I'm thankfull when someone advise me, where I made mistakes because I want to become better and better even though that is only my hobby.
Yes , sometimes I've major problems with taking right perspective so I'm trying to improve that. Therefore when is sunny weather I'm sitting in front of our house and drawing our's car or other things in my nearness and improving my sense of perspective and I could say .. it isn't easy.
But this know almost everyone who draws three-dimensional objects or real things, people, nature, animals and more. These pictures that are from any screenshot, picture or anything else is secondary for me and I like rather my own completely freehand works. Here didn't be used any outprint as an underlay as well, If you think about that.

So finally, NiTRo_Svk and Nadeo know me and they are right, I'm a girl and everybody who don't believe, it's not my problem. I know it can be rarely, that girl plays LFS but it's truth. And I'm not the only girl who is interested in PC games, computers etc (sorry for my bad english I hope that you can understand what I want to say)

This isn't a screenshot but I don't know where can I place this.

I don't draw very often, most frequently my drawn pictures are about cars and here can you see my first creation with Live For Speed theme .
