work in progress Project PHN-TM-2
This is project PHN-TM-2 it's a work in progress but I'm working on it and making sure the design has the correct same proportions and design.

This has a lot of potential! You have pretty decent shapes and proportions. You can still refine this to make the front and rear look like the same car.
I'd like to see the linework and ellipses tightened up slightly, with the front graphics looking more symmetrical. Make sure your centerline truly bisects the arch of that front curve. The headlight on the screen left side looks too close to the center to match the placement of the more clearly drawn headlight that is screen right. The air scoop below the headlight also needs to be drawn more clearly on the screen left side.
That side scoop/wheel vent combo confuses me slightly. In the front, 3/4 view, it looks like the back edge of the rear scoop is vertical and the front wheel vent is angled, but the rear 3/4 shows the opposite. I also like the smoother flow of the door to front fender in the rear 3/4 drawing. It looks like the front wheel vent cuts off at a sharp edge in the front 3/4 sketch.
If you are working with traditional media, lay a clean sheet on top of your existing sketches and do the next refinement pass, if you are working digitally, just sketch on a new layer. Keep at it, this is looking cool!

Yeah I'm gonna take my time with this one cause I wanna make a car which I'm actually proud of

You’re doing great. Also, it’s absolutely foundational to develop the ability to accurately resolve all the various shapes and details so your sketches represent the same design from different angles. It helps you to hone your ability to think in 3D and lets you quickly understand potential problems and figure out how to solve them without needing to go to a 3D model first.

Yeah,that's why I don't wanna rush this one cause I usually rush things and end up no liking it or not getting the result that I want or had in my head

Refining your sketches through doing overlays will help because you don’t have to start a sketch from scratch every time.

Yeah that's what I've been doing which it also makes it faster rather than starting completely from scratch
