Description
This drawing was done for a client who is a customer for my family's place of business.

The vehicle is a 1965 Shelby G.T.350, a very rare vehicle. Unlike other Ford Mustangs, and differing variants, I have seen, this one had a nice, slab-like shape to it. There were many variants of the G.T.350 built across many model years. The 1965 models seem to be the most prominent.

Drawing a white car against a white background is not easy. My original plan was to color the white car as dark as possible, but still maintain a bright overall look so that it looks white. It did not work out too well, and the background could have used a bit more depth. So, I took a 6B graphite pencil and added in the background shading. This has created a lot more depth and help the white car jump out from the white background.

Many other artists seem to heavily rely on blue, if they ever draw and color a white car. It is best to draw a bright colored car against a dark background and vice versa, to get the best effects, especially realism.

The Shelby was drawn on 100lb bristol board and colored with Prismacolor pencils.
