Question: How to draw so that it appears as if you are looking up or down at something!?
I've got to sketch a storyboard for English at school, we have to include things such as camera angle and zoom to create mood!. I'm trying to draw this:

Supposing it was a photo, the camera is in a low convertable car, looking up at a large pickup kind of truck driving alongside of it!. Its meant to give the feeling that the truck is intimidating!. The inner side (ie the door, windows down, no roof coz its convertable) of the car is visible at the bottom, so that you can see that the shot is being taken from within a car (the character's viewpoint)!. The car is meant to be slightly in front of the truck, so the front of the truck would be about halfway along the car!.

I'm having trouble making it look like the camera is pointed upwards, and also distinguishing between the inside of the car and the truck next to it!.

-Where should I put the shadowing
-Should lines on the truck be horizontal, sloping backwards or sloping forwards
-How do I make it look like there is a gap between car and truck (ie 3D)

I'm doing it using just lead pencil, no colour, just different shades!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
