Description This is a drawing of the Messerschmitt 200 Super. It is the KR200 car Messerschmitt prepared in 1955 to set records for the 250cc 3-wheel class. It ran at the Hockenheimring on 29-30 August 1955 and set speed records to 1000 km, 2000 km, and 24 hours, along with nineteen other international speed records.

It had a special lightweight streamlined body, a modified and highly tuned engine, redundant cables to the throttle, clutch, and brakes, and stock KR200 steering, brakes, and suspension.

It is said that the FMR Tg500, a four-wheeled sports car developed from the KR200, is the most desirable of microcars. This is probably true for production microcars, but this one-off special, currently on display at the Munich Museum of Science and Technology, would probably be more desirable and valuable than the Tg500.

This is a nice piece of work you have here. At this point it is a nice line drawing of a cool little car. To push it forward, you need to draw it over and check your proportions (as in that front tire). Then i would suggest using value changes to give the body some shape. The side view mirror above the lettering is confusing because it is as flat as the rest of the car. Shaping it with value changes can help identify what it is to the viewer. You have some shaded areas in the wheel well and cockpit. You can continue with that and shade the car that way, or you could opt to use pencil. Whatever you choose, you have a really nice foundation here to work from! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="" title="Clap" />

You're welcome! Yes...value changes are when one shade turns into another one. And really, it is your own personal style that should dictate what kind of shading you want to do.

Thank you for your critique, and for your encouragement for me to work further with this. I'm not sure what you mean by "value changes", but I gather that it has to do with shading or cross-hatching to provide some shape. I'll try to do that.
