Hi guys, I have been quite busy lately, and I just got a new printer with a scanner, so I actually had the chance to scan my sketches at home, rather than in the school library. Here is my new sketch I actually wanted to let it have that 'defensive' kind of look, by making the headlights part of the front grille, but it looks kind of wierd..

Look, I can't tell you specifically what areas you have to improve, all I can telll you is, Practice, just practice. After you make a sketch wait an hour at least, and then, go and watch it again and then you will realize where you get wrong. Also, seeing a lot of car pic's will help you to improve your perspectives (watch the wheels and windows).
That's all I can say, I'm just an enthusiastic Designer, so another one can help you much better than me.
Hi guys, I am back from a week of tests and assignments, and drew some sketches as well (in class :clown. Comment please... Thanks a lot I will post some updated and improved ones when I have the time, as I have a stack of assignments waiting for me!:screamBy the way the wierd front sketch at bottom right hand corner was done by my relief teacher when he saw me drawing.. haha :X)

doing a great job mate, as someone else just watch your perspective, and leran how to draw circles in perspective, cant stress that enough (which are called eclipses, which you seem to be doing pretty well). also there are angles which are easier to draw and can look really cool, i.e front quarter with huge perspective on it. also the easiet angles to draw are ones you actually see, try not to get too high when drawing, cause how often are you looking down on a car?
ive just gone over one of your drawings showing where your center line should of been, learn to draw a centre line for your car as it really helps in keep it all together. plus ive a really quick sketch of of a more common angle to draw cars from, notice how the centre line is all the way over so you dont have to draw both sides of the car! anyway do whatever your comfortable with and keep up the good work, wish i had drawn more cars at school cause now ive had to bust my ass off at uni learning
*edit* drawing a little dodgy sry, havent used my wacom in weeks, much prefer sketching on paper
look @ link b) and 2 tutorials by scott robertson on how 2 draw ellipses & perspective. u ganna be surprised how easy u can draw PROPER cars angle/position/perspective ... other thing is ur line quality urz r kinda SHARPED look @ ginge car scetch ... he draw 1 "quick" line ... i mean u "re-drow" ur lines (i mean u draw few lines in the same place 2 get correct line-curve & ur line getting wider & wider) ... i did the same & still sometimes i forget myself but it's easy 2 control ... JUST DRAW LIGHTLY & TRY 2 BE ACCURATE ... use eraser when ur line is wrong ... don't draw new one on it ... & practise, practise & practise ... thats the KEY
mate, thanks for the reply and suggestions. Actually I intend to draw a rough draft of the concept and then outline it on a fresh piece of paper. I am trying to make my own 'tracer' by putting a LED light bulb in a clear plastic box file. But the lines are very jagged as the file is quite compressible. My school has something like that, but it is like a plastic board with a circular light bulb behind and it is supported by some pieces of plastic. Hope to get my hands on it one day.:chinese: By the way I think I should start with drawing some cuboids and boxes before I draw the car, so as to get a rough gauge of the pespective. Thanks for the links mate!

2 be honest ... i don't know what for u need this stuff -> 'tracer' ... if u want 2 learn draw all u need is piece of paper & pen/pencil/etc. ... i draw with different "mediums" ... starting with a SIMPLE PEN + PAPER (sometimes "half" printed ... all u need is a piece of space on it) ... ending with tablet ... JUST DRAW & TEACH UR HAND & EYES ... using rulers, drawing curve, compasses, tracer, etc. is stuff that u use when u (already) have skills & u need PRECISION ...
i have tons of pieces of paper full of my drawings, lots of files on my HD with my cg-drawings ... that's the KEY ... DRAW, DRAW & DRAW ... train ur hand & eyes
believe me u don't need nothing else than paper+pen+time+these links 2 learn how 2 draw
Hi guys, I have did some changes for the car and included a rear view. I am quite out of ideas for the rear so it is like everything dumped together (the vents, exhaust pipes, reflectors, etc). But somehow the rear light looks nice to me. Give me some feedback please
