Description 1963 Galaxie - this one I had so much fun drawing, and the framed piece was displayed with the car at a local car show today - very exciting!

That grill was a challenge, just so y'all know. I'm not completely satisfied with the front end, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I absolutely love the perspective on this one! and for some reason the license plate makes me happy. I think because its black and they seldom are and it balance nicely with the body. The grill looks good too.

I thought the perspective turned out great, too! I love forcing it like that, so much fun! And the older AZ plates are a nice dark burgundy - I went darker to keep it from standing out too much It worked, yay!

THE--DEVIL In reply to dieselart [2009-03-25 03:52:18 +0000 UTC]

Yay on all accounts. Yet the forced perspective is great when it comes out so nicely!

I had one of these for two months one summer, then gave it to a friend.
I think you captured the inside curve of that grill very well. It has to be a real pain to do it in coptic marker. It's a great piece of work!

You gave it away! Well, I hope your friend gave her the love she deserves

Yes. I picked up the car because mine was in the shop. In fact, it was the '61 Caddy getting a new rag top and some other things done. My best friend had just gotten his license, so i gave him the car when my Cadillac was finished. He drove it for two years before he traded it in on a Goat.

as stated your gradations are awesome.
Some tedious work there on that grill... the effort you put into it really shows. Kudos!

Thanks, hon! I wish I put more work into the grill - it's really awesome looking on the car, but I couldn't figure out how to accurately portray it in the time I had left to complete it! Here's the car: [link]

Isn't it gorgeous??!

It's all layering I'll go over it all a bunch of times with various darks and lights until I get the right blend to really bring the car to life
