Description 1970 Nova custom paint/wheels. It's supposed to be black on top, slate gray on the bottom...I almost got there!

Holy crap, the grill on a non-SS is crazy-fun to draw! The detail had me ing!

Anyroad, this was a fun exercise

Copic markers and white charcoal on Copic marker paper.

Yeah, it is! I can't wait for the owner to finish the real car so I can see how it turned out

I can't wait to see the finished product - the owner is in the midst of working on it That grill turned out so well, didn't it?! I shouldn't be so surprised, but it's like that each time I finish a vehicle. A little bit of white gel pen, white charcoal, markers, and a lot of patience!

awesome... i don't own white charcoal or gel pen but it sounds cool for doing highlights and such

your drawings really come out professional, you must have a lot of patience!

They work pretty well, but I'd like to find something more...solid. I tried guache, but it doesn't work well on marker paper

Thank you! I like hearing that! And I do have a lot of patience Although, sometimes not enough!

Yay! Chevy Nova! You nailed this one pretty good! The lines, the stance, and that treatment of the grill and headlights is spot on! Great piece of work!

Thank you! The outline on this one was probably the longest I've ever spent sketching, and the tracing outline is cut and pasted together

Hmm, I should post a close-up of that grill...

Oh, haha! Been using that for so long that I don't think about it. I started using that word when I was going through a phase reading all of Patricia Kenneally Morrison. It's her "anyway."

Thanks!
