another go at drawing

[SPHFerrari]

heres another try. i hope this ones better. as you can see ive barely done anything on it yet, no details realy, i havent even drawn in the rims yet. i just want to know if i got the perspectives better this time. and constructive criticizm is encouraged.

idk if u may have already done this but a good way to get a feel for a concept is to draw a few sketches of the current production car (or your favorite model year of the car) to better understand the lines that make up the car.

one other thing...mustangs have throughout their production usually had a prominant hood that exteneded almost parallel to the ground while yours drops off quite drastically

I can't see where it specifies that it is a Mustang

Anyway...

It is quite good, keep practicing - you will get better every drawing.

Have you ever tried HB pencils? If you're really into drawing cars and stuff, try to get a drawing kit for your birthday or something or just go out and buy one. I will gaurantee that with a good quality set of pencils and erasers you will see vast improvements in no time, which, in time, will encourage you to draw more! This will actually improve yoru drawing skills. Interesting how that works eh? I had a drawing kit and it did exactly that! Kinda weird eh?
My two cents on this piece though: The back is awesome so far, how it curves up, back in, and shoots straight out! Kidna of like a more dynamic GT/GT40. The front coudl do with some more smooth surfaces in my opinion though. It looks like a front of a Yugo, no offense intended. Again, as in your last drawing, even if this is an initial drawing, try to keep it more in proportion. Judging by your front lights, you rushed a little bit without trying to be as accurate and proportionate as your initial drawing should have been. I like your front intakes and curve up and down at the front lip though. Your lights are also quite nice, though they could do with more smoothness. Your wheel wells are huge!! Do they really need to be that big or is this a smaller car than I think it is?
Details, details: A door handle would add a nice touch to the side. Maybe a front vent or two on the hood would add so much flavor too. I'd personally like to see those pop up, as I think they would be a great addition to this magnificent design. Maybe a side intake also? It seems you missed out on the line that shoudl be going up and right from the hood. It kinda of looks as if it were cut off in my opinion. (EDIT) I think some nice bold fender flares over your wheel arches woudl add some more nice flavor to this car (/EDIT) The next steps in making your cars better and better are adding an interior and then adding some shading. Of course those are switchable, but I feel an interior woud be of more use to this drawing currently.
So my final judgement? This is a car with great potential that can easily be maximized with a few mroe details. Great work SPHFerrari, I look forward to seeing a final version of this car along with future sketches and drawings of your designs.

Does this car have a name btw?

thanx alot for your advice gt500. if u look back at my initial post i said i had not put any details in yet because i wanted to see how the proportions were going, but they are coming. and as of now i have not named it yet.

Pencils? Bah!

Use Biros, or other permenant media, that way it will encourage you not to make mistakes.
