I'm interested to see what you do with the dead space, to be honest.

That favor should turn into some profit or something for you. Its so damn cool, it cant be for free.

eventually, but for right now I'm enjoying the freedom to do it around my school schedule

I like it a lot. It's better than anything I have attempted myself.

thanks, I tend to like to include a background (existing or made up) in my more serious drawings. That one is just in a sketchbook but the buick is getting framed.

I'm interested to see what you do with the background, though. The current lines are intriguing.

I'd probably keep the original horizon line, but I have no Idea if I'd keep the original background or if I'd make one up. Here's the photo I'm drawing off of, I was on the ground when I took it:

I HAD GUESSED IT WAS DUE TO A LIGHT SOURCE

That makes me feel better.

Its amazing,
Heres the best drawing ive ever done, I was on a 3 week course of drawing, i know the nose and front spoiler are crooked and more things too. but its not a complete fail.

thats a good start, it took me a year of trial and error to get proportions and perspective right. keep on drawing, you'll get there. Some advice: trace stuff over and over, dont impliment that technique into your drawing (its cheating), but its a good way to build muscle memory

and dont be afraid to use basic shape stencils and or rulers. I used a circle stencil for the headlights and a ruler all over it. also if you don't want to to buy blending tools, watch this video on how to make them:

you dont need fancy artist pencils when you are first starting out, I got an A on this project for my observational drawing class and all I used is a regular mehanical pencil, a bold ink pen, a blending tool, a ruler, and an eraser:

I love it. I'd make the rear tires larger, though.

no, the drawing is of my friends car, for him. His car is stock. Its actually pretty impressive. Its his first car, hes the second owner, it is 100% original, even the paint, and it has less than 100k original miles. I posted a photo of it in the comments somewhere.
