    Chevrolet Caprice

    I always wanted Impala to become a Full-size RWD Chevy and Caprice to be reintroduced as a successor to the FWD Impala on a FWD platform. Since i've already submitted my RWD entry, i may as well introduce the FWD Chevrolet Caprice, which if i won't come up with something better by the end of the month may be my FWD entry:



    Hope you like! Comments are welcome...

    Not sure how I feel about the grille, but the pillarless look and the B-pillar are sweet!

    Thanks! it looks bland actually and i guess i made the grill too wide instead of making them narrow towards the end of the bumper.

    I think part of it might be your perspective, since it leans towards an isometric view that puts the eye way higher than anyone would normally see a car.

    I used to draw them from a different angle, few year ago when i started drawing cars i used to draw existing vehicles in a perspective view, but as i begun drawing my own cars the view got closer to isometric (in time), probably because it was easier to draw this way and get better proportions.

    Here are a few of my old drawing, there are lots of disproportions:

    I like the Eldorado. I was actually going to do a RWD Impala based on the Camaro, but it, like several other photo-chopping "experiment" of mine didn't go as planned and I lost interest.

    Actually, those older 3/4 drawings you got there are almost spot on. All you need to do is curve the rear around more. Remember, the rear usually gets to the rear of the rear wheel arch and it curves into the rear.

    Those earlier drawings look like they've been shot through a wide angle lens, it's sort of cool.
