Colored Pencil - Dodge Challenger 71 and Dodge Dakota

[Magliano]

Hey everyone!

Yesterday I scaned some drawings.
The dodge Challenger was my last "finished" drawing.
The drawing is not realy complete...But, my time was over and when I compared the reference image I printed and the original (on the internet) I notice some diferences...Sooo, i left the plates for example unfinished.
The colors would be better, but I was using some "fabercastel polychromos" I bought, and I didn't had all the colors I need.

The Dodge Dakota I already showed here, but the headlight was not ready.

Well the images:

wow that some impresive work i wish i could color.. btw what pencial do you use?

[Magliano]

Thanks Smilly_Butcher

The dodge dakota was done using regular scholar pencil. The dodge Challenger was done with FaberCastel polychromos (http://www.dickblick.com/zz205/61/)

I'm buying theses pencils one by one cause i don't have enought money for a set hehehe

Nice work! Two of my favourite vehicles!

(I just got an engine swap (finally!!) in my dakota.. w00t - drag strip this weekend!)

thats not a challenger its a dart/duster if my eyes arent playing tricks on me but its still a good drawing

[Magliano]

Thanks Guys!
Woooow...Black Dak drag strip...must be a amazing "short-trip" hehehe send me, if you have, some pictures of your Dakota. I was a huge fan of Dodge Ram, but it is imported here in Brazil, but Dakota was built here since last year (the sales were bad...).

69Charger426 after your note i realize that really look like crayola. The FaberCastel Polychromos are very soft pencil...maybe this must be the reason for the crayola look.

Hey Alex! Pleasure to see you here. Yes, a shadow would be good, a friend told me too...maybe i'll try to add it.

65Ponchoboy, you're right...i think, cause looking for the original picture i did not find any notes to challenger...only google found hehehe. The image says "Mopar Demon 340"
Chek the original picture: http://www.lhmopars.com/MOPAR_Ads/71spad6.jpg

Thanks guys!

Nice perspective.
I also like how you can see the grain of the paper.
Cool color choices.

Thanks Grantrl78.
the grain of the paper, was something that anoyed me. My professor explained, is just a matter of drawing style. In dodge dakota (my first colored pencil drawing) the grain was iregular, sometimes more, other times less visible.
At Dodge Challenger or what ever it is i had more control.

But thanks!
Thanks all of you, the kind words make me wants to do a new drawing...maybe black and white this time...i dont know....hehe
Bye
