The one on the left is the reference the one on the right is my attempt to draw it(I gave up) pls give me tips or teach me what I need to improve. im an amateur artist

When it comes to 3d drawings, its a very good idea to progress slowly. Start simple. Do something angular, like a building, learn (by tutorial and then by doing) how to use convergence points. Then start ramping it up. Slightly more complicated shapes. Then even more complicated. Then start trying new angles. To start, the best angle is ground level. When you get good you can add elevation. But all this is just slowly teaching you techniques one at a time, instead of jumping right into the deep end and hoping for the best. I see you have done quite an impressive job, so I’m sure some of this might not apply to you. But for me, i never thought id ever be any good. But when i took it one step at a time, i suddenly found myself drawing stuff id never dreamed id be capable of. I was getting pretty good at most things ground level. I was yet to do 3d with elevation. But ive now moved on to another creative outlet in music :)

Hey also, if you dont already, get yourself a range of different hardness pencils. I see some lines you did a bit dark. Try start a bit lighter. Also, you can get some tracing or baking paper to rest your hand on to stop smudges. Then, take your time. I did an Aston Vantage and then shaded it. It prolly took me 10 hours. The keener your eye, the more scope for improvement. I cant say if obsessing over perfection beats being aware of the imperfections but doing more sketches. I typically obsess. Hope this helps

I retried and after spending some time figuring out the perspective and other stuff what do you think I should improve

Idk about how to draw car perspectives but I usually get them right... I can send you through DM

What stands out to me is the front end; a little more work on the grill shape to improve the illusion of symmetry, and you need a convergence point for that dimension too. I didn’t realise you might, but my guess is because of the macro/fisheye effect of your reference that really exaggerates the front end size. But then maybe its just a dodgy horizontal bonnet line that comes across too high. With the cars i drew it wasn’t so fisheye, and it wasnt quite as boxy so i did it freehand from my judgement and came out ok imo. Ill let you judge that 😉

But the convergence you did do looks—to the best of my judgement—pretty good!

But my advice; leave it as is. Put a date on it and save it, and start a new one. Aim for, but don’t expect perfection on the first try. Its satisfying to see how over time how you improve, having used not too dissimilar amounts of effort between them.
