How best to draw this?

MAGICMAN

I am trying to draw this in sketchup but having trouble working out the best way when an object has complex curves that goes in multiple planes.
Below is the object I want to recreate in sketchup. I was trying curiloft but the bottom or face also needs to be curved. It needs even wall thickness also.

hmm.. that's potentially a two hour long tutorial

i mean, are there any parts of that thing you can draw already? or are you literally looking for step by step on "how best to draw this from start to finish?"

It's very similar of a Hull ship !

Maybe you can try also Soap Skin Buble and Ferrari

Hi Jeff, I can draw OK with sketchup but it is the complex curves and even wall thickness. In a previous topic (curviloft...) ypou can see the start off attempt but the I cant make it cutrve in the other direction on the face. I was just wondering the best way to go about it. Not ony do I want the face to curve east to west but also north to south.
