How do you even start those car pics? Any tips? Cars are the hardest thing for me to draw.

Start with drawing "boxy" rectangular cars.. that really helped me, and it still helps when I'm drawing vehilces at extreme angles. I use a rectangular shape as a 'guide', then "curve" the lines (hood, trunk, etc) as I need to. It does take a while to get used to drawing this way if you've never done it, but it gets easier once you get used to the rectangular box as a 'guide'. HTH

unlike paintings, when doing industrial art like cars and buildings you need guides to help with proportions and depth. Photoshop, illustrator, Painter ect have guides and grids you can turn on. If i'm doing freehand car art i have my ruler handy when im using the cintiq and i just put it up against the screen. Then you can lay down the lines and the rectangular box where your car will stand.

My most recent digital car art was this one on my 21HD at work using a ruler.

All I can say is wow. I wish I had started all of this about 10 years ago. I am setting aside about 5 hours a day to practice and learning right now, so hopefully I will continue to improve. You both gave some great tips. So These car pics arent 3d renderings or layovers or anything? Is it looked down on to do a layover vs doing a grid etc though? Wouldnt you have the same thing in less time and with more accuracy? I am just curious.

That last shot is AMAZING btw. Looks incredible.

Pretty cool man. How long do these take you guys? The manga? The toyota 86, etc?

Sketches take around 10-15 mins at best. The painted pictures above took me around 45mins to 90mins. Though, there are pictures that took me hours to do, but my computer crashed yesterday, I lost all my file. These are what I can find on my Facebook.

@WingsofWar every time I see your work my jaw hits the floor.

I am not skilled or trained in any type of art but I like to doodle and have a great appreciation for those who put in the time and effort to refine their craft to amazing levels (I spend a lot of time getting lost on deviant art). But lately I've had a bad itch to give digital art a try (even while knowing that I would have to dedicate time to getting anywhere with it) and decided to buy a tablet.

Should arrive late this week or early next, but I dunno if I'll have a chance to produce anything worth showing in anytime soon with the end of the semester approaching. But hopefully something will go up here... sometime haha.

What'd you order? I am right there with you, just trying to learn and take it all in.

I wish I can get a Cintiq or any 13 PC tablet with Wacom penable screen with dedicated GPU for around $1200. No manufacturer have the gut to put GTX 670MX and Wacom penable screen on a 13 incher yet. Hopefully, Haswell GT3e iGPU and wacom screen will be bundled together.

Wow a cintiq! those are really nice, I actually had a bit debate to go that far but I ended up with an Intuos5 and I thought that was good enough for the stuff I have to do for class, and my hobbies.
