F150 Lightning progress

[AirAllen01]

Here's a pic of a Ford F150 Lightning I'm drawing. It's freehand with a .5 mechanical pencil, no other tools. I hope to be finished soon. Feedback welcome and encouraged. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Yeah, there is a white building behind the truck that reflects off the hood. .5mm is the only way I go, cuz the .7mm just doesn't get the dark areas dark enough. I don't really care for the tortes too much, I'm sure they help but I just like to use the pencil and that's it. Thanks again.

Oh, AirAllen01 try .5 mm 2B lead. See if you like that.
You can even go darker then with the HB you got.
At least it looks like HB to me.

IMHO

I have no idea what the difference between leads is, but the scanned version isn't as dark as it really is. I can get black out of the lead I have, but it takes about 2 to 3 layers.

airaladin(my nick for ya ) it looks great, i love the reflections, it really shows how much time and effort you put into it

[AirAllen01]

Thanks man, it's taken me two days about 5 hrs each day on this so far.

[yellowdoor]

dammit AirAllen01 that is very very nice shading. it's damn hard to get those metal/paint reflections to look good and you have got it perfect!!

i cant wait to see some more of it as you progress.

keep up the excellent work

Will you be putting 20's on that lightning?

It looks awesome so far.

Keep us updated.

[AirAllen01]

Will you be putting 20's on that lightning?

Nope, sorry. It'll just be the regular Lightning wheels. I don't think Lightnings look good with any other rims. I've seen 20's on a Lightning before and it really didn't appeal to me. It could've just been the type of rim, but I still like the stock ones the best.

[Jedi801]

That is awesome. Especially for freehand. It is proportioned really well. Do you have a pic of the original?

[AirAllen01]

Here's the original:


I've already finished the windshield, but it's too large compared to the pic, as if I was drawing it from a different angle, so I'm going to finish the truck as if it were at a different angle.
