I would say the most basic tip would be to start with a heavy weight card stock or Bristol board, and some decent alcohol markers. Make a guide sheet by draw a short line with the flat of every marker and label them so you know what the ink looks like on the card stock and not the plastic cap, so you can pick the right colors. Then just practice and be patient, this current drawing isn't done... I need to add detail to the door, but sometimes that means walking away and coming back later. If this was a more full time job, I would spend much more time on each section, and go even more detailed than I do.This is super neat, I've always been into art and drawing but I've never found a good way to get into automotive drawing, even from a solid reference. Any tips/ tricks? Hard to find info on it online, and I'd say I'm decent at drawing other things. What makes cars so different to draw?

Yeah the harder lines on a vehicle are more unforgiving than more organic shapes, you can approach it a few different ways. You can print the source picture and divide it into a grid so you are drawing smaller sections at a time which helps, or you can look up some youtube videos or website on perspective drawing using two points and a horizon line. If you have any other questions just send me a message!I've always had trouble capturing the shape and the body lines, due to the differences of capturing body lines vs general shape and detail as most drawings I typically do
Thanks, I keep trying to improve with each one. Actually working on one for a member now.man this is great work dude.
I haven't done one in a while because too much life stuff kept coming up. I haven't formally charged yet, but people have been kind enough to donate for them.what does something like this cost?
