RX8 Illustrations

Hey Folks,

I'm new to the forum and RX8 ownership (3 weeks in fact).
Inspired by my new purchase I've been doing a few RX8 illustrations I thought I'd share. Hope you like.

Thanks Rotr8!

Yeah, I agree. Still new to drawing cars (have never drawn that many b4) and i tend to draw them too boxy. Good call on the bumper - Its a good excuse to practice drawing some more cars (particularly RX8s).

Cheers for the link to!

Thanks folks!
I'm loving the RX8. Can't believe I never considered buying one sooner.
I have noticed tho that she rough idles a bit when she settle in to 700-800rpm.
I looked up a bit of info and most posts mention that changing the engine mounts in the 2004/2005 models fixes this problem. Does anyone know how costly that sort of thing should be?
On the drawing from i've been practicing with some rounder curves so my pictures look less boxy, but i think i've made this one too skinny across the front...sigh..need more practice.

the rounded bumper is already a vast improvement
Try a view from the front from a low angle so you can flare and accentuate the fenders...

Thanks for the kind words folks. Still relatively new to drawing cars (could count the amount of cars i've ever done on two hands) but am practicing to get better!
Read that Dave Deal got the Pixar artists to draw cars into mango shapes when doing the Cars movie. Tried an attempt at what i guess that technique was in the bottom sketch.

I applaud your skills. Been a very long time since I picked up a pencil and drew something creative. Damn digital technology.
