Hi,
I am using The Rain Knight's tutorial on modeling an audi. I got stuck in the early stages of this tutorial. I am trying to make the side of the car (around page 9) and wasn't sure how to draw the curve. In the tutorial it says adjust in the top view. My attached screen shot has the curves I drew. If any of you had done this tutorial before, can you please help me?

um... im not entirely sure which curve you mean but i think the answer is to draw the curve in one viewport(with as few clicks or points as possible) and adjust the curve also in the top view so its not flat or straight but 3d.

sorry for the lack of description.
The curves I am referring to are the two curves going up and down at the very right.
The tutorial said to adjust it from the top view which I have the screenshot of, but I don't what I should adjust it to. To follow the blueprint? Or just a rough shape?

I think it means to make a smooth line that follows the basic accent/horizon line of the car (not the blueprint lines). pretend that the line continues all the way thru the wheel wells .
See page 10 cause thats what the lines are for.

good luck!
