Alfa Romeo Zaffiro

[street_dreamer]

Here's another version i coulda put in the 169 competition, but i just drew it and already entered. With this one, i tried to incorporate the MiTo a bit more (with the headlamps) and tried to make it much more aggressive and curvaceous along the sides. I also spend more than the 3 or 4 minutes i spent on the first one on this one (even if not much more) so i'd hope it's a fair bit better. I don't have the patience to graft out a stunning design, or the ability, so no point wasting half an hour on one drawing.

Please provide feedback, and criticise at will, because i really don't know how to draw well, and would like some help, if at all possible.

SO SO much better than the first one! I would take off all of the writing though, it distracts the eyes from the car.

I appreciate the post though, and you're right, it's considerably better than the other one, but i can't change it now...

Lose the writing, and it'll be beatiful.

The proportion and general lines of the car are good, but the nose is too halloween looking for me, but then I find the Mito to have a ghastly nose that others find appealing. Take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks, and done. :-)

Fantastic! :) Very sleek, and the MiTo front headlamps work really well. Without fault really. :woot2:

While your contest entry has a more stately, luxurious look with its blockier, upright bodywork, this one is a completely different approach that could almost be sold alongside your other design. Sort of like how the CLS is to the E-Class, in a way (and I saw that you intended this as a CLS rival). I love the 8C face and I think you've integrated it perfectly into a four-door form, but what is that giant black hole on the hood? It's random and it looks off-center given this perspective. I'd go ahead and make the rear doors full-sized, too, instead of the tiny (if novel) RX-8 doors.

great job :)

great job :)Yeah, it was designed to be much more sporty than the one in the contest. The black hole is a vent for engine cooling, and i can never seem to get it central.. Unfortunately i drew one pen line in over the rear door, so i can't lengthen it :(. Thanks for the feedback.
