Thank you so much for your valuable advice. So it doesn't really matter if I diverge from the original reference that much. At the end of the day all that really matters is that I have put thought in doing the orthographic planes and tried my best. If you don't mind can you recommend me some places where I can find more clear references.

Things are going to get nasty of I ignored the construction to scale and go all out.

Lord have mercy ????????

So there are many ways to get good reference

  • to use search engines, first you need to think about which vehicle you want to find, for example Boeing 747, then you need to google 'Boeing 747' and add 'side view', 'top view', 'blueprint' and so on

  • to use online 3d model galleries/shops for example sketchfab, turbosquid, etc

  • to use 3d games

  • to use real life toys, or relevant magazines/books

  • to use online car re-sellers like facebook marketplace, usually people post a lot of pictures of their car when they are selling it so it can be good reference to use.

The easiest method is to find a vehicle you want to draw first and then get an image of it and use google image search to find similar pictures. If it's a popular vehicle then there will be loads of images.

Good luck with lesson 7!

Hello Rabuuhs, sorry to disturb you again I am linking this question of mine I posted a while ago

https://drawabox.com/community/submission/DMISMU8M

You can ignore those that ask how to subdivide or so since you have already pointed in your own post like most of them are our own judgement and we subdivide based on our own convenience and there is no full prove accuracy required

(Correct me if I am wrong)

I thought there is some material that I really wanted to know as I am doing vehicals now and answer some questions there can prove helpful. Since you are who have answered many of my questions I hope you can answer more !!

Sorry for disturbing in advance!

Thanks man!!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
