'57 bel-air

Here is my latest drawing... an american classic. So far i've done the outline and a bit of the shading, which came out really, really dark on computer. It's on smooth bristol paper. comments/advice/critisism are welcome.

Can't go wrong with a 57 Chibby.

Can't wait to see more progress!

I dont care for the '57s, usually the '54s are my taste, but I like it.

Nice! Cant wait to see it finished.

inspired by lemorris???
lol

Looking good! You do damn detailed outlines. So, have you gone back to pencil for this one?

Looking good Alex.

Cool man, and I don't even really like those kind of cars! That looks awsome. I love it. Keep up the great work!

Watch yourself... :nono:


Looking fantastic Alex!

Looks amazing, but the only thing is the back wheel, looks like the tires is on a slant where it meets the ground, just something I noticed, might just be me, ...still amazing amazing work

:mad:


...it does look nice


not really into old cars though

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see what all the chrome on the front will look like!

not really into old cars though

Old cars rock...

I agree with both of you guys. Old cars rock, but I am more into the new stuff. like the skylines, the 350Z's, the Silvias...etc...

Just like every other boy racer in the world...











:screwy: :p

Classics are the best, I hate plastic cars. Good old chrome and good gauge steel. Whats funny is that as popular as the 57 Chevy was, that was the only year that Ford sold out Chevy(around that time anyway). Lookin' great!!! Keep up the great work, wish I could draw.

thanks again for the comments. personally, I think I prefer imports, but classics are still awesome

here's another update.

somethign looks very weird and blurry with the roof!

I love it! Great job so far!

Looking great
I like the cloud reflections in the side.
The value changes make them look real.

You are very good at drawing cars alex!

It's finished! I decided to add some background this time. Comments are appreciated.

and zwofurti, does the roof look better now? or is there something i need to fix?

damn man you are insane, holy shit, if i could draw like that, i'd be damn proud of myself heh. Good job bud.

Sweet on.

The grille is crooked though, and the center of the rear wheel is too low.

Amazing! Your shading is excellent as usual.

damn alex, youre my idol=)
you are very good! the roof look better now also.=)

i really like this one!

The grill is excellent! The whole drawing is excellent!

Nice is tight.
