Porkbun,

It may not work for you right now, but keep working at it until you get it.

In the history of transportation design, nobody got 'hairy' sketches. Is this the way you see sheet metal shaped around the engine and wheels?

If the long broad strokes are not working - try do thumbnail sketches first to keep your inspiration going. Then if you see prospects from your thumbnails go right ahead to the bigger sketches with nice clean lines without the hairs.

One more thing...have wheels on your sketches.
That adds more interest to your art work.

The wheels are 25% of the fun in sketching cars.

oh! now i know what you mean....I alwas wondered why hey often made their lines so long! but I stink at drawing wheels! and im making better progress making motorcycles...ithink....ill post a pic up soon

in order to draw wheels properly you must use your whole arm, like everyone is saying you should do for every line. I know it's hard at first, and your drawings may initially suffer, but soon you'll get the hang of it and your drawings will be much better.

it's a good idea to fill pages with nothing but circles until you get the hang of it.
