Coupe Lines

I am a very plain person, so never expect me to do crazy ass swoopy lines insofar as car design goes. Most of the concept drawings I see of cars as of late just outright upset me, so here is something more traditional.

No, it doesn't have 22" spinners, nor is it slammed to the ground so that the camber has to be at an over 10° tilt to let the wheels under the wheel wells.

I am designing a car that i would actually buy if i could make that happen.

I see a few cars mixed up in this one: Looks like a first gen Toyota Solara for the lower window line, almost Saturnish rear lights, but overall very traditional lines. That rear hatch splits vertically between the top part of the rear light on either side of the integrated spoiler.

Are there mistakes, of course yes. I didn't reference off any pic, I just plotted the perspective lines and drew what was on my mind. For the record though, i do start with the wheels and then build it from there. As i start colouring this one i will fix it as i go.

Process:

Rough: So i started with a just a piece of cheap ass printer paper and plotted some perspective lines. I was originally going to draw a sedan, but it turned into a coupe.

Pencil: I put it on my light box and traced it off with a super sharp 2H pencil.

Final lines: I want this one to be clean so i blew it up and traced it over with a 1 px brush. All those lines with exception of the wheels are with the line tool. Yes it took some time to do, Corel Photopaint 8 doesn't seem to have a good curve tool. One note witht he rims, I did draw only the top half and flip it and copy it for the front wheel slightly altering it.

This was alot of fun so far, now on to the colours.
