Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I don't like that I immediately knew what you're referring to.
And pretty decent I think, I also dabble in heraldry and dragons are a popular motive in that field lol
Well let's see, you know, for...ugh science
Yeah, "science"
Looks really good! My only critique is to fix that lower rear passenger tire. Perspective is difficult. Are you planning on making any others or maybe inking them?
Yeah I'll fix that wheel anyway, I only really realised how bad iz looks after taking the image.
And yeah, perspective is a real bitch, which is why I'm trying the grid method first to get a feel for the proportions of the car(s).
And yeah, I'll draw more cars, I'll probably finish them off in colour pencils, maybe watercolor and maybe markers though, hard edges look a bit weird to me on car drawings so no ink
My first car was a 280z and I instantly recognized the body style!
That is fantastic.
Thank you! Though my reference is a 1970 240z instead of a 280, but the cars look almost identical anyway.
And the 240 is my absolute dream car, but now at age 30 in central Europe, I'm not sure if I can get my hands on one before ICE cars are banished in old city centers...
You wanna sell it?
Sadly I sold it almost 20 years ago, but it was fun while it lasted!
Six inline cylinders of pure sexy.
Looks fab, but whatβs going on with that tyreβ½
Drawing ovals is the bane of my existence and I lost my oval rulers lol.
Thanks for the kind words, though!
The proportions are perfect man, keep up the good work, love them drawings.
Thanks! And I'm cheating a bit for now by using a grid to keep the proportions in check, but so far it seems to be working
Can't fool me, that poll from the other day taught me to spot AI images...joking though good job
Thank you! :D
Looks great!
Thanks!
Far better than I can do! Keep up the good work!
This is really good!
One thing that stands out to me on the reverse view - other than the Roger Rabbit tire, of course - is the shame of the roof as you move toward the front. The front view seems to suggest the slope comes down to be almost parallel with the ground, while the reverse view suggests it points up like 20 degrees. I don't know which is ground truth for this model car, but I suspect it comes close to parallel with the ground.
I can see where it looks like you made changes to the front height of the drivers side window. It's possible you went a millimetre too high or so there.
But that's just nitpicking. Again, it's a really great sketch.
Yeah, I know, but I didn't want to disimprove it so yeah. Gotta say, even with a grid it's very hard to pinpoint the cut off points or angles exactly, but I'm pretty confident that I'll get better at setting them the more I end up drawing cars.
Thank you for the encouragement!
Perfection
Very cool, do keep sharing
I will, I started the colouring process on that one :D
holy crap those look awesome! even though I suck at drawing cars, I might suggest drawing the tires tilted towards the inside
Yeah I tried to fix the wheels, like I replied earlier to someone else, ellipses are the bane of my artistic existence.
And thank you! :D
Keep it up.
great drawing! π
Cars are incredibly difficult. Well done
