Well, my PS3 is gone for a bit right now - so I can't do anything at the moment - but while I have been able to play I've been trying to create a good car shape. It didn't have to be great, just decent enough to look like a car. Now, I'm good at landscapes, I'm good at storylines, I'm even not bad at creating characters. (At least now, hahah.) But I cannot, for the life of me, make a good car. No matter how much corner editing I do. Creating a good car is difficult at least to me. I've tried the round curves, which then turn sharp to cut down steeply into more round curves. (Roof to trunk) Agh. It's also extremely frustrating when you get a decent shape on one part, then ruin it by messing up the rest. I usually end up deleting everything to start over later. Funnily enough I've done a lovely Batmobile, compared to my other creations, of course. I just can't get the hang of how to make a nice looking car down. Another frustrating point is that I can't get a good image in my head for it either, 'tis all a blur when I do try to think of it. Gah, maybe some more practicing with the corner editor will help, huh? Though it's not like I haven't practiced. Moving on, what I'm getting at is, how do you make a decent car? What's your approach? I don't mean to steal your ideas, but I really DO need some inspiration now. Well, not now, but when I have my PS3. Do you plan out all the parts first, then create them individually? Do you just start with a block of cardboard and corner edit it into a viable shape? Or is it something else, or a mix of those, or something completely unknown that makes an amazing result? Because if so, I would love to know how you do that one. *gets notebook out* Anyways, sorry for dragging on, I simply want to know. I've looked and looked, and can't find a good source for an answer. Hope this'll help. Thanks for answering, or just taking the time to read!

If I was going to make a car in LBP I would use the PS Eye or Eye toy (Eye toy is probably better since it has manual focus) to take a picture of a simple car shape from Google images or something similar and cut it out with the corner editor. If however you don't have a camera you could find a few levels that have cars and take an in-game picture of it. And if for some reason even that doesn't work, stick some tracing paper up on your TV actually that's not a bad idea
