welcome

not a bad piece

perspective on the body is nice...good attitude

wheels could use a little work (ellipses are tough)

reminds me of some of my early work

charge what your market will bear...keep raising your prices...you'll weed out the suckas that way

post more

Well I got $150 for the piece and a promise of a follow up when the restoration is complete.

lemorris your right bout the wheels, but I couldn't a single pic of those wheels and had to guess at the shading. I wasn't happy at all with the result, but I was outta time.

Not bad considering someone is paying you $150 for it. I usually charge mine from $100-$500 depending on the size and car. I charge $45-$60 for college students and friends. I charge double for colored and such.

The perspective is good. Good lines and rendering of the car. The light source is easy to tell. Keep it up and work on the wheels.
