Heres a picture I drew to my friends whose car it is. It's an Opel Omega B 4.0 and as the model the Cadillac Catera, Vauxhall Omega and Holden Commodore (and thus Holden Monaro and Pontiac GTO but as a 2-door coupe version) are based on this car model.

Here't the reference photo I used:

And here's the final cartoon car drawing:

Notice the photos of my friends sitting in the car... :)

The technique used was the same I use always, a freehand pencil drawing is where my pictures get their shape. Then I scanned the pencil drawing and drew the lines as vector graphics in iGrafx Designer with the scanned drawing on a different layer, then moved the vector drawing to a graphics software (iGrafx Image, I'm not using Photoshop) where the color was applied using fill and airbrush tools. Finally used the light studio and added some lens flares and highlights. I posted ealier here my drawing of a Lotus Omega, the technique on that was the same.

What do you think. The friends who got this picture framed in gold colour frames, printed on a wax printer at least seemed happy. :) It took 2 evenings to draw this last week. I also took my sketchbook with me to the housewarming party where I gave the picture as a present and sketched some new pictures, which now just need the computer treatment... :)

woah! thats amazing!!!!! i love it!

yeah, that is really really good. no offense to your friends, but i think it would be even cooler with just the car. but that is really good, dont get me wrong

Opel's are so cool. Is that FWD or RWD?

That is an awesome looking toon. :iceslolan

i like how in the glare of the headlights you can see a kinda purple/blue tint in the horizontal ones.

Awesome toon bud , Lets see some more !

BUT!! Someone correct me please if I'm wrong, is based on the Lotus Carlton/Omega???

The top box on the car you showed is the exact same as the Carlton's, and the first Vauxhall/Opel Omega was based almost 100% on the Lotus.

Makes sense if you compare the Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220 to the Lotus Elise, you get the shocking reality...

yes great toon but its not my style
