Looks very unfinished to me....

The words/wrinkles really kill it for me too, what happens if someone wants to frame it or something?

I'll keep the rest of the comments to myself... I really have no place since I'm not getting one. Good luck with it though.

Ya...

Some pointers from me...

When filling with prismacolor, the idea is to press down very hard. Establish a base color over areas then cover and recover over the top of that layer to blend in other hues. There should be no white showing through the paper in colored areas. There should be no pencil sketch lines remaining on the drawing.

Ship the non-free drawings in photo quality envelopes...no bending.

I can tell that you can draw very well.

If adding text, make it appear professional using drafting lettering techniques.

Not sure why some of us include wheels and some don't.

It detracts from being able to intrepret the design if you provide side shot only. If you just want to do one drawing angle, choose an intermediate angle.

Thanks again!!!

I was at the post office shipping out parts today. And looked at the price of poster tubes. They are only $1 more then what you pay for the envelopes now.

This way you can roll it up and drop it in a mailable tube.


BTW: I should have your box shipped out soon.

Hopefully this will help ya out. some regular good quality paper.(the large pile)

the other stack is Good business card stock. Glossy on one saide flat matte on the other.

and a box of new penciles.

well no one knows that you do it , put that you do drawings in your sig , and start posting more around the site instead of just on this one topic. Get your name and pics out there, Get some pics of thw work you do and put them on your cardoamin site.

I think u want alittle to much for them.. Don't get me wrong u can draw good. Way better than me. BUt if u wanna get 45 or 50 bucks. From car people. U have to make them look more life like.(real) Than u can charge 100 /150. Just my 2 cents.

Don't take this the wrong way, but $45 is way too much for those. I'm not an artist, but I can see that there would have to be an improvement to justify the cost. The coloring and shading isn't even, lines aren't straight, etc. Maybe ink the outline? The rims on chevy ken's look phenominal, but the quality varies quite a bit with some of the drawings. I'm not trying to be rude, just some constructive criticism. I wish you the best of luck though.
