    Good overall technique and interesting design. Too many points of light on the door area, delete the bottom of the window and top of the lower shadow.

    The main criticism is that you have two very different headlights in two different positions. The farther one has it's lower edge just touching the rollover to the bumper, while the nearside one cuts halfway through the rollover point.

    In order to not miss things like this in future I would suggest that after you finish a drawing you hold it to your chest and walk up to a mirror and look at it's reflection reversed. Mistakes that your eyes/brain miss as they have adjusted to an error are often picked up in a mirror image.

    Mr Burns, that is a neat looking car. I like the idea of a new Karmann Ghia and that is similar to how I would imagine a new one looking.

    Thanks! Yeah I do look at it in the mirror sometimes (or in the light or flip it on the computer) but with that angle getting the headlights right becomes tricky!

    Thanks for the advice!
