Roadrunner progress - stage 2

Hi everybody, this is what I'm currently working on. It's a '69 Plymouth Roadrunner.

So far I've done the outline. This is going to be a color drawing, so the front wheel hasn't been rendered yet. C&C are welcome.

Alex

Re: Re: Roadrunner progress

Nice, now try doing that same car in a freehand sketch, now that you have done it. Im not that convinced by your sketches and then your fully detailed renderings They are just wayy too different apart from each other.

Re: Roadrunner progress

Looking great! Just wondering if you will be laying color over the existing drawing? I see you have a lot of detail in the front rim and looks like you are rendering this w/ graphite (final) not color.

Will this be color pencil?

Thx Alex

Re: Roadrunner progress

Hi everybody and thanks.

Joeham: yeah, a big difference in time makes a big difference in quality. There's a big difference between using a grid and drawing freehand too.

Al: The front rim hasn't been rendered yet. It does look a little bit like it because I had to outline it with a HB mechanical lead so I could see all the detail. A 2h pencil(used for the rest of the outline, except front logo and grill) doesn't show up very dark on the type of paper I'm using. I'll be using prismacolors for this one.

Alex

Re: Roadrunner progress

Nice choice.

Be as careful on the rubber as you are in the grill and this one could be my fave.

Re: Roadrunner progress

Alex, that is right. I keep forgetting that a digital image of a graphite drawing comes out darker many of the times esp. if you use a camera and/or PS. Mine come out darker too.

Re: Roadrunner progress

Hi again, here's another update. I've started the rendering. The interior isn't finished yet, and I think the grill still needs a little more burnishing.

Re: Roadrunner progress

wow! How long did it take for you to colour up to now... and the highlights: do you 'not colour' that part or do you use an eraser?

Really impressive..

Re: Roadrunner progress

thanks gamsaleh. took about 3-4 hrs for the outline, and about another 4 for the rendering so far. As for highlights, Prismacolors are pretty much impossible to erase. the only way to really erase is to take a kneaded eraser, press it really hard against the paper and lift off the color. for highlights, i don't color the area, or sometimes you can take a sharp white prisma pencil which will lighten an area.

I'm posting the ref pic for you guys to look at. Since I'm not drawing trees in the background, I wanted to leave out most of the tree reflections on the hood.

Re: Roadrunner progress

Looking good so far! I like the way you've dulled down the colours. The only thing is the left headlights which aren't as square as in the ref pic.

Re: Roadrunner progress

thanks guys.

Al: Rising stonehenge, 9x12"

Ross: thanks, I'll try to fix them.

Zwofurti: please explain. Grainy/too blended? Too flat/rounded? etc.

I should post another update tomorrow. BTW, were the forums down last night and this morning, or does my computer just suck?

Alex
