T0mm: try working from one of the pictures I posted earlier. It will make your car resemble the original more. Also, turn your drawing upside down to check perspective.

Also- attach the picture to your post using the "Add Attachment?" button below the box in which you type your message.

hey thanx for the tips! I've never thought about turning the drawing upside down

erm.......

I think he means turn the sketch over so the image is on the back of the paper - that way you can see through to your original (paper allowing). But I stress still the right way up.
Also see flip horizontal in Photoshop.

If you just turn 'upside' down normally means it wood look like its driving on the ceiling - great for Australia I guess.

Anyway the point of doing this - it really does help you spot perpective errors. I do it with every sketch.

No, T0mm got it right. It's still drawing-side up, but you're seeing the image at a different rotation angle. (The wheels are farther away from you than the roof)

BTW, Polo Mint, are you going to post an RS200? --"Pleeeease?"

wow I never seen anyone intentionally use that technique, I sometimes accidently flip vertical instead instead of horizontal in cs2 - but I cant say it helps me. But if it works for you guys - then well, fair enough.

RS200 -hmmm you know I draw cars all day long, so Intend to relax by digi painting space ships, cities, robots etc...

I'll think about it.

interesting idea.. here is a sketch..
I might color it later..

WOW!!!! i really like it!!!
