Description -----------------------------------------------
With a precise hand, palm
facing the earth, I'd stretch
my arm out the car window,
convinced that at the right speed
and angle of my arm the car
would take-off into the sky-
achieving a perfect balance between
man and machine, a loose harmony
of metal and bone. The car is as
much a plane as my arm a wing.
------------------------------------------------

Took me a couple of hours.. But it was worth it i think...
Done with Graphite Pencils ofcourse...

Yeah, took me a while to figure out how to do the shading, but it worked out quite well.
thank you for that lovely comment!

I LOVE the shading! I only see 2 flaws. The left headlight, it seems a little lopsided, while the other one is rounder. And the grill, the spike second to the left is a little too small. Otherwise, fantastic work.

I can totally agree with that, considering it's the first time i've drawn
a car in that perspective
Thx for that advanced and honest critique.

Greatly appreciated.

when i see this i immediately think of Sin City with the classic cars and the black and white.. i love the white washed glares and detail here, the tones are good and the texture of the image is well preserved. I can tell you spend a lot of time on your art, it's very neat and proportionate.
