Well, asaenz asked me to put something together so ya'll could do a little practicing with shading. I tried to find a photo that had good shading, a great angle, and would be fun to draw. So, here is one of Boyd Coddington's roadsters. It's been so long since I've drawn a nice ride, I'll most likely be practicing with this photo as well. Have fun:D

I'm not the teacher, just the teacher's assistant :D You can use these pics to try your hand at what asaenz has been talking about, then post that and we can critique each others work. I'm going to try my hand at it, and see if I can qualify to give a tutorial or not. :rolleyes: I'll probably post mine monday morning, I'll be on the golf course all day tomorrow. :sun:

good job, i couldnt do the rims, just didnt look right to me

hey thnx for the comments...im new to shading cars and all the reflections and stuff....for the rims...they werent to hard but i messed up a couple times

Looking good fellas...Hopefully I'll get to do mine Sunday. I'm glad this helped out.

Hmmm......Maybe I should try this and show you guys what I can do.

When it comes to shading,that's when I really shine:sun:

ok i got bored so i printed out asaenz' dead skyline project(i hope you dont mind) i did a pretty bad job.. im hoping to get some books and get better but here it is

btw i only used led pencil and finger.. no stumps or torts

Nah man I don't mind. It looks good. I am going to have to come back and redo that Lieb skyline. It is a great looking car. Well actually its the photo that makes it look really good.

Great job, Jeff. Get those smugging tools and you will be happy.
They are really cheap like a couple of bucks.
