New stuff... in color!

Hey everybody, haven't posted a thread in a while. The marker rendering is freehand, and I'm trying to improve my proportions by only using small 3x2" ref pics from car magazines. The '28 Roadster was done with Prismacolor pencils, using a grid for the line work. The front grille and engine detail made it one of the toughest drawings I've done to date, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Hope you like it!

good to see that your back! i'v been waiting all this time to see some more of your work!

i love the '28 Roadster but a diffrent color will be nice ...

oh ya, is prismacolor pencils that good on smooth paper?

The roadster is just plain amazing, hard to believe the magic you
can create with pencils.

It's always great to see more of your artwork.

They both look amazing, i really like the engine on the ford, the cuda dosent look like its all marker, for the ford did you use rough or smooth paper?

that ford is amazing almost looks really! keep up the great work

great as usual ,your freehand is improving alot well done,i love doing engine detail but it is time consuming isnt it lol

stunning work.

That cuda is amazing! the 1st one is great too. Awesome job.

WOW... amazing stuff!!! Especially that 32. Verry nice!

EDIT: OOOoops! I called it a 32. The grill is probably what confused me.

Yeah, Im liking the Cuda alot. The 28 is great, but I'm just too busy looking at the Cuda to notice much.

awesome as always

The fender reflections on the streetrod are amazing! The color actually looks good on that car. Then again, with your stuff any color looks good on any car :D Keep it up man! B

Alex... Good to see you back. Great work on the '28... grill, engine detail and reflections are superb... the 'cuda looks like a conception car for a possible return for 2007? Keep em coming. Robo

Holy Crap!!! Great drawings!!!!

Truely amazing what you can do with pencils. I love the engine's details.

Great job, I really like to see you going freehand.

wow my god! those r phenominal!!!!!1

Thanks for the comments!
V-tec: Don't use smooth paper for colored pencil work.. it can barely hold any layers of pencil. Oddly enough, rough paper will give the smoothest results.

Charger: No it's not all marker.. sorry i forgot to mention. I also used prismacolor pencils (mostly whites) and white gouache paint for highlights. The roadster was done on rough paper, the same stuff I always use, called Rising Stonehenge... works great for colored pencils.

Rexins-art: Yeah, engines take forever to draw. I think this is the first time I've had to do one.

Robo: The reference pic I used for the 'Cuda is a '71... with LOTS of custom work done to it.

Alex
