SaleenGT2001, get in here, and everyone else: Sketch critique

[CobraRed_96_GT]

First let me say that it's really rough (hense it being sketch art and not just art). I can soothe stuff up after things have been added
To the finalists, dont' be sad:

Orange: Your car was the only car that i thought to myself "i wanna draw that" first time looking at the picture
RaceStang: One of the sexiest and most unique early sn-95 to date. Still wanna draw that car sometime
SRT Hands: You know i'll eventually draw your car anyways
Blinkstang: You proly came in second, love that facia! And the angle was easy to draw, perhaps too easy

SaleenGT2001 has entered a photo of his car every contest i've had, and isn't his car deserving?

Updated/fixed:

Oldish:

1st issue: See how the grill is black/shadowed in the orig. pic. Should i blacken/shade in the sketch grill area?

Also, this time i went with a smaller different design stangnet logo than previous drawings, i think it helps say: "it's all about the car!"

I would because u have shading on other parts of the bumper....leaving the grille the way it is seems a little empty, imo......nice skills though....i like to draw too....i am graphic design major in college

I would have to make the current horse extra bright to stand out from the black, which would require making it bigger or some accurate erasing

I think you should shade it in as well. BTW it's really good so far. I'll have to start entering your contests myself as soon as I've done some visual mods and my car no longer looks like every other black 94-98 on the road.

Looks GREAT! Yea if you outline the horse well and just grey in the grill....that may do the trick. But remember...I know nothing about art LOL.
All I know is it looks sick!

almost drew Orange's stock cobra

 

[SRT Handz]

damn..... sick

 

[Green&GoldGT]

I think it would look cool if you drew the tread on the tires or gave the wheels more detail, but then again I don't know anything about drawing

 

[Orange...]

Makes my tummy all happy inside.

I think you picked a fun car to draw honestly. It's more different looking and has alot of character. Mine is just what I wanted. A plain looking ol' mustang. Mwa ha ha....

Anyways this isn't about me so....

I say fill in the grill area with medium dark cross hatching. as well as some light in the rim openings around the rotors...

Looks really good!! You have a wonderful talent!!

 

[TorqueMonster88]

trace the grille and darken it at different shades see how it goes....cross hatching might give it a look of the honey comb grille....but just try things out...im sure you will solve it.

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

I updated it, i actually liked it better the way it was, but can't exactly change it again now. But now the front end looks too dark, so i need to change the front headlight

And fix his name lettering

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

K, fixed the headlight issue. Dunno what the F i was thinking before. As for tread, no way Jose. That has a 98% chance of destroying a sketch, believe me i've tried. I could go further with wheel detail tho, i guess more chrome reflection?

And i've since fixed the "e" in his name that looks like it's on crack

Also i've done what's called "strengthening" the roof line. Makes the car looks more aggressive

I've now added saleen logos to the wheels

Also finally added my signature

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

If i could get SaleenGT in here i'll take another pic

I'd like to thank my electric eraser shown charging here:

couldn't have done it with out you old buddy, lol

 

[Blinkstang]

The updated version looks awesome! Very nice work, details look great.

Thanks! I actually added a lot to the wheel n stuff since, but i'll see what SaleenGT says before i take another pic.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

wow, it looks great!!!!

theres only a few small things i notice. can you shade the tires in and maybe the tint on the windows if that wont mess up anything. the rear bumper vents arent in there either. other than that itis perfect

i'm very happy you decided on drawing mine for me. i'm going to hang it up on the wall in my living room!!!

let me know your paypal address and i'll send some cash to cover any shipping charges

 

[95BlueStallion]

What about the rear fenderflare/lip? Sorry, not being picky, just critiquing like asked...

tinting windows has never looked too good, can use the pensil really cuz it will look like shading, and using the finger rub technique makes it look foggy. I can try shading in the tires, and i didn't even notice the rear vent so i'll allude to that in the back but it wont look like much.

As for the rear fender, i left that off cuz drawing the fenders on these cars looks weird. But i can try it out

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

I updated w/ a photo. I think it looks good, needs some more touch up and re-darkening of some lines.

Just to let you know, im using a very xoft graphite used for drafting so this stuff fades crazy fast due to contact/friction. So i have to go over stuff a lot, but it's best to draw with IMO. So im trying to figure out how to send this thin without anything being rubbed off.


-fixed the back fender since pic, looked like it was running into the wheelwell
