It's been a while, but here is a drawing i'm working on. It's a Volvo S70. No grid this time, but I took a few measurements here and there. Otherwise it's mostly freehand. I know the passenger side bumper needs adjusting. What should I use to fill in the car? I would like to get away from pencil for now. I was thinking oil pastel or maybe black ink. Something different. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Martin

Oh yeah, I was planning on entering this in the tuner contest if they allow Swedish cars.

Nice. It looks like the front is too low and long, but it's good overall.

Yeah, I notice that too. I adusted it right after I posted the picture.

Here it is after a few adustments.

much better looking. Slap some rims on, aline the door handles, and I think Lemmon's style ink drawing would look cool for the contest. (You may enter this....)

Hi Martin,

That looks really good.
How did you measure?

Volvo is American now....hee hee :)

al

Al, are you serious? Who bought the company?

Anyways, as for the drawing, it looks good. Proportions are nice. Is that a mustang front conversion?

Alex

If i'm not mistaken alex, ford owns volvo.

looking good.

Yeah, Ford owns Volvo now. But it wasn't until after Volvo made the 70 series. I wouldn't consider it American, though. Ford owns Jaguar and GM owns Saab, but I don't consider them American either since most of the developement is in Europe. You don't see any other Fords with turbo 5 cylinders!

Back to the drawing. I would measure a few parts of the picture and see how my drawing relates, then I would make some adjustments. After taking a long break from the picture, I notice a lot of other things I want to change. Time to bring out the eraser.
Thanks for the help so far.
