Hey guys, long time no see ey! I made this while i was at my grandparents place for almost 2 weeks. I really like it so i'd thought i would post it and share it with you. I used black marker and watercolour to render this, i hope you like it!

That looks great! I love the look of it. The wheels could use a little work, but they're pretty good too. I like the coloring too, verry well done.

Very cool, I've never been a big Audi fan, but I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat. Cool design.

whoa!

very impressive!

Question:

You said you used water color. Could you describe your method for rendering this?

Be specific if you can. I'm curious about the order in which you did things and the surfaces used.

Did you mask off any areas?

did you watercolor first?

once again this is a great piece, you should be proud.

Wow thanks lemmoris! I sketched it in pencil then i overlayed it and fixed the problems. I didnt mask off anything, after i made the final linework i put down a bit of black and white watercolour pencil near the bottom of the car to reflect the ground slightly. Then i took my black marker and simply coloured in the ground reflection on the car. Next i took my watercolour pencils (purple and blue) and sorta mixed them together on the sky reflection above the black. Im so pleased you like it, i hope my description helps.This was all done of normal printer paper.

Awesome stuff, I'm curious on the watercolor pencils. How do you like them? Do they come in handy for car drawings, ex: blending and reflections?

I'm not a expert. But i find them really cool to use, i dont always use them though, only when im limited on materials and i need to stock up and go to the art store :p
