Just a recap.
Well this year I'm in art again, and we had to do a self-portrait. First thought to me, "Oh damn, i hate self-portraits." Well I just finised a little bit ago, and It turned out so good IMO!
Took me a very long time, I'm very perfectionist with my art

Here goes:

Your perspective is off on the f430 ferrari, it appears to be streached and flatened. I feel you may have been better off with the HT as convertables and targas tend to throw off perspective during drawing. Perspective is tough, I still boch them every now and again all I can really tell ya is practice with the perspective lines, and start with the wheel base and work up.

yea. I see. Thanks for the info. Was my first drawing that I challenged myself with a harder perspective. This was done 2 years ago when I was 14 in 8th grade. I used to daw a lot of cars from the side angle, with no shadow. So this was a big improvement for me at the time. Thanks again man

more shadows on your face should make that picture more like you.

 

[Jrmdb3]

Yea. I don't think pencil comes out very dark in pictures It really is darker in person. But yes, I agree with you. Thanks for the tip !

That car looks awesome.. how is it silver?

Thanks 'Whateverhobb'!
The silver is just the reflection from the shiny lead

Go for it!It'll seem like a long process at fist, but once you get going, it's really fun!
TIP: Use a grid, that way you get all the proportions just right!
