Looking great, Ron.
It'll be wonderful to see the completed piece. Love the wire-frame in-progress screen shots!

Thanks Mike.
One thing I've learned about myself in these projects is that I keep making the same mistakes, having to go back and correct things, sometimes two or three times. (I'm a mental midget, you know) I've also learned that when dealing with perspective, there are NO short cuts. At least I haven't discovered any; not with complex drawings of this nature. Here's a wireframe of everything drawn so far...

Looks great so far Ron. Like Mike I am looking forward to seeing the final.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Thanks Larry and Mike.
Here's the long tuk tuk completed. Since my last posting I had decided that, even though I was near completing the long tuk tuk, it just wasn't right as regards its width. That is in respect to the photos I've looked at and used as guides. Soooooo, I NEARLY redrew the whole thing, and I'm glad I did...
I'm working on one of those bicycle taxis now, in the background.

From what I see, the perspective looks great Ron. You are getting to be a master of perspective, I can tell you have learned a lot. Looks like wen'll be taking be taking leessons from you.

Ron - Are you using foreshortening? I remember from years ago in perspective drawing class there was also a method of making sure there was no distortion by defining a circular area. But I would hard pressed to tell you any more than that.

Thanks Larry.
Gary, No. I don't know foreshortening. If someone is able to dumb it down (waaay down), maybe I can use it.

Put the bicycle taxi in. Had to draw it twice as the program crashed and the file went to zero bytes. Good thing I'm saving this periodically with the same file name plus a numeral after it. I'm on #25 right now.

That's a lot of points. I bet your computer is taking awhile to redraw that too. That was the advantage of drawing perspectives by hand. Nor one computer crash.
