I think we do have some creative and more or less artistic members here, so this is what I was thinking, we post our works here and talk about it, anyone being rude or unpolite will be shot, several times to parts where it hurts most :lol:

Also would be nice to know bit history and such :P

I'll start with my car drawing with mspaint, inspired by youtube video:
Image
That took around 10 minutes to make and it is not very good, I had no reference pic so that is straight from my imagination.
I have started learning drawing about 2 weeks ago so I still have long way to go.

Here is second pic, made with pencil, I had pic of my own car as reference for this one, I'm very disappointed to front as it did not come right at all, perspective was escaping etc. Must do new sometime.

Then I do some 3d modelling as some may know, well actually just learning this one too, I'm not too skilled yet, that is why I started learning drawing with pencil now, to get better with 3d modelling, my current work there is cabin at winter night, still WIP so this does not present end result at all:

Hey jtbo, the pencil drawing looks like it may have been a concept for the front slope of the 480 series, keep it up mate, nothing good comes quickly, practice and technique make a good artist.
Erm, I've lost my keys again...

True, it takes lot of practice, it is more of practicing eye than hand, hand will get trained automatically during process I think :D

I did bought Wacom tablet so I can practice drawing in computer too, also is much cheaper if I draw few pics a day to use digital media than traditional one, but I guess these are still rather different styles, but let's see when thing arrives.

I have not yet got it as I bought it from online shop, but I guess I will use GIMP or at least try, if that does not work out too well, then maybe something else :P

Your MS-Paint car looks quite like Civic CRX. :P

The other one is a combination of 360 and 400-series. :)

Oh I know, I'm afraid I have some weird and sick fixation to Hondas then sm25
My friend had one for very short time, it was not faster on straight line than my 360, at least before 120kph after that it may have been but we never tested that ;)

I must try to draw better 300 soon :P

Wow, that MS paint thing is amazing! Who would ever draw an image like that in paint, I dunno :shock:

I'd post something, but I'm rubbish as art. We had to do Art (or drama, music, or dance) at GCSE, so me and my friends all just sat around, did a 5 min sketch, and then chatted and played cards :lol:

When you write message there is those buttons at top of box where you type, click one labeled Img and there appears thing called img-tag then type or paste url to your image and click Img button again.

I can't manage any kind of normal drawing... but Kate is pretty special at it, and she has one of those Wacom tablet efforts. I use it for doing photos, but there is a superb piece of pure drawing software, which is freeware, that I like playing with.

EDIT: Just looked it up, called ArtRage, I think thats the one, I'll check with her!
