'70 Foose Challenger

what's up everybody? :D


This is the 1970 Challenger built on an episode of Overhaulin' a couple years ago. I finally got a hold of some high res pics on seriouswheels.com and decided that I had to draw it. Most of the reflections have been improvised and there was alot of freehand rendering involved.

There are a few differences between the overhaulin' car and the ref pic that I used... the paint scheme is a little different, the front bumper is chrome instead of black, the gas cap is different, the seats are different...

Okay, enough talking.. I'd love to hear your opinions. I'm always open to suggestions and critisism!

Thanks for looking

Alex

Good stuff man, hoping I can work up my realism on cars to look like that.

Trash as usual... ;)

Fantastic stuff. Top notch as always. It's great how you took one angle with one color and used the other angle with the other color.

wow, that's awesome. Foose would be proud.

This really is one of my favorites of your renderings. Besides it looks awesome as always, I love the cars design and the angle it's displayed at. Muscle cars are so rare in Europe. I see a Mustang less often than a Ferrari. If I had the money, this would be the drawing I'd buy.

Great work Alex. Super rendering skills as usual. If I could offer one little nit it's that the axis centerline of the front wheel seems to be tilted inward just a bit. It's possible it could be in the photo that you took. I wish I had more time to devote to my car art but there's just too many other things to do.

looks great man, prisma pencils right?

the rims look like they're real!

as a matter of fact the whole car does

Great Stuff!
You are "Alien" hahahahaha. Must be the boy from "A.I - Artificial Intelligence" you draw like a inkjet printer. Lol. :lol:
Just kidding, you talent is awesome. Really! :wink:

Congrats!
Diogo

Looks good as usual, did you color the whole thing with pencil, or are thier parts you use marker for?

That is truely excelent. That's one of my favorite Foose cars too. They did a REALLY nice job on that car, and you did a REALLY nice job drawing and rendering it.

Beautiful! Your realism rocks. There's nothing that screams power like a good american muscle car! I would like to see a 69 Mach 1 come out of your Art Shop sometime... Once again very, very nice!

awsome as usual man!!!!!the chrome on the rims is very nice

very good work :)!

Great drawing, incredible work with the chrome wheels.

Awesome work as usual Alex! Excellence at its finest and I'd expect nothing less from you.

Looks very, very good Alex. I like the freehand reflections in the black, very close to real. Creepy almost. Alex must be that robot from- Oh nevermind, it's already been said.

And good 'ole Mike with his fake 250,000 posts, haven't seen you around much :D

Thanks guys. This is all prismacolor pencil with white gouache. I used only a bit of marker and black pen in a few spots, but it's so subtle that it's not even noticable on the actual drawing.

George: thanks for pointing that out. The placement of the highlights is what's causing the ellipse angle to be off.

Alex how the hell do you make the tires look so amazing?

Alex... Once again.... ditto, ditto... all the superlatives I've used before. Just love seeing your work.... I actually stare at it for a while, TRYING to find something to critique - a loosing cause. Robo

Wut up Alex,
Awesome job! I think this one is my fav. of yours.

I'm speachless...that looks awesome! I'm incredibly impressed by the accuracy of the wheels.

If you really want to freak out......Alex is 15!

Are you F)#@ing kidding me???? Alex you've got a bright future ahead of you bud. Do yourself a favor if you haven't done so already....
Take AP (advanced placement) art courses in High School, build a strong portfolio (of more than just cars) get yourself into a great industrial design program in college (RISD, Syracuse, etc) graduate and get your butt in Art Center as fast as possible. Go here to research schools and firms: www.core77.com.

You're stuff at 15 is better than mine was at the time. Hell, better than it was while in college. I'll try to post something from when I was that age to prove it.

Alex, as usual, your work is astounding. I especially love the chrome wheeles.

thats just plain amazing!! great work

Thanks for the link Ben!

How the Hell did I miss this?
Alex Foose is my #1 favorate Artist/designer.
