Completed: McLaren LM

Well after riding in one of these, I knew it would be my next drawing. It took me around 10-12 hours, mainly because I'm a slow drawer. Its completely freehand. Any comments good and bad are welcome.

Wow. How did you keep the reflections so clean?

very cool...

one thing thats off a little though is the black lip thing on the bottom...the left side is different than the right.

looks great though, nice reflections.

Holy hell!

You've rode in one of those? You're lucky to have been in one, only 5 were built.

The drawing looks great, nice smooth shading.

Thanks for the compliments. I know that the bottom lip is alittle wierd, I finished the drawing at 2:30 in the morning and that was the last thing I did. I'll go over it again.
I keep the reflections so clean by just cleaning them all up once I was done drawing. I have the Tuff Stuff eraser http://www.dickblick.com/zz215/35/products.asp?param=0&ig_id=4368 which really helps you get nice clean lines.

Yeah I was lucky to get a ride in one of these. I talked to the owner on this site and then met up with him.

frame it. love it.

it has petty flaws here and there, but those work. you have done a great thing.

great drawing sccrplyr!

I like the reflections and the smooth shading. I don't really have any crit, except what secretmodder mentioned.... and i can't believe you actually got a ride in one of these.

What are you using to shade?

I just used a mechanical pencil and shaded it with medium sized stumps for the larger areas and I used small tortillions for the detailed shadings. It was my first time using the tortillions and they helped out alot.

Awesome drawing. When I saw this, it made want to go to ebay and pick up a 1:18 scale model.

Awesome Drawing man! Keep it up!

That's really incredable, it's sooooo smooth. It makes me wanna just reach out and smudge it :D . It's just too perfect ;) . It's a shame the bottem lip isn't 100% like the rest of the car :( .

Keep it up!
