@FutureElements i don't get what you're trying to say with the degrees on the wheels?

[FutureElements]

@prulleman2 The reference to degrees is to the circle degree. look at ellipse templates it gives a degree number for each ellipse .If you use 45 degree for the closest wheel to you, then the back wheel would be 35-30 degree angle and the front left wheel would be 55-60 degree

wow. a perfect circle. how do you do?

[FutureElements]

@1Animeculture I use ellipse templates

@LoganCoutts if you mean ellipse templates ABSOLUTELY NOT cheating.. as a matter of fact alot of the times if you try to "fine tune" your rendering more you'll find you have to use a template cause as doing it freehand is sloppy and people (not just the regular person on the street but ESPECIALLY other artists) will see a wheel and think it looks wrong if you didn't spend more time making sure they are relatively accurate. ALL pros make sure to get ellipses for wheels plastic or computer

Its nice to see you do not have to draw the horizontal line and vashing point all the time. Thats the way I would doodle a car in high school.

@LoganCoutts There's no cheats when you draw a car, unless you copy outline of another car. There's no rules when you need any tools on side to use to draw a nice car. So whatever you think it will help you to look your car nice and good use it. Most designers use free hand b/c you sketch the car, not final outlook. The most important thing is perspective of the car, size of the car and component of the car that fall in whole "puzzle".
