Hi everyone!

This is going to be my very first contribution to this area of the forum. I watched DoMiNos (and of course others') posts carefully, and did my best to draw my very first car in perspective. This was just a 1-and-a-half-ish-hour work (i just was bored in the evening), so don't expect too much. I know, the lines are quite simple. I know, the roof sucks. I know! It hasn't got wheels! That's the part i hate most about drawing in perspective, so i didn't make them because it would probably ruin the car. But anyway, let's get started with a Press Release:

Posted January 15th 2011 by SMPR (SportiV Motors Press Relations)
ROTTERDAM, NL - 2011 - Early in the morning on a beautiful snowy day, it was crowded at the World Trade Center. People were trying to get a glimpse of the thing underneath the canvas. Then, at 11 AM, the manager of SportiV Motors pulled the canvas away. There it was. The first car made by SportiV Motors; the SportiV 4TV.

Everyone was allowed to look at the car from a close view, see what's underneath the hood or explore the details on the model. Only ViPs were allowed to step into the driver's (or passenger) seat(s), and to explore the OpenView™ multifunctional interface. "We wanted everyone to get a close look at our first product. On this unexpected unveiling of a still unknown brand, we wanted the people to experience the quality of SportiV and it's products."

GROUSE MOUNTAIN, VANCOUVER, 2011 (summer), CA - Half a year later, SportiV has put down 4 different models of the 4TV on Grouse Mountain, available for test drives. Two for off-roading, 2 for ordinary driving. For off-roading the 3.4l Twin-turbocharged V6 diesel developing 345 horsepower and 550Nm, and the 4.0l V8 petrol, developing 400 horsepower and 450Nm. For on-road driving there were the 3.0l Turbocharged hybrid V6 petrol engine developing 375 horsepower (300 by the petrol engine, 75 by the electric engines) and 510Nm, and the top-of-the-line model, the supercharged 5.4l V8 petrol engine developing 650 horsepower and 725Nm. Thanks to the extremely clever 4wd system, the drive is "as smooth as a flying carpet. On or off-road." says a car magazine journalist.

The coupe-ish roofline and extraordinary styling are styling cues you find in no other pick-up truck. Some say the roof is meant to be for a extra-powerful two-door sport version... Who knows what time will bring!

What's the price in US dollars, I'm interested.

[Niko Bellic]

I changed my post to incluse the current US dollar price for it, too.

[ACcartoons]

Looks good. I like the front fascia a lot!

There are some issues with perspective, but I'm not really one to criticise as my own sketches are far from perfect in that respect.

I find it helps to draw the wheels first, rather than putting them on at the end. It helps establish the proportions of the car and gives you something to work around. Kind of.
Also if they do go wrong you can start again, and it won't matter as much as it would had you finished the design and then cocked up on the wheels.

[ASG631]

This design is simple yet still good at the same time. It's shape reminds me of the H1 Hummer.
Not bad at all.
