Description Okay, here we go...

This is the largest drawing I've ever done so far (22nd, Feb. 2016), measuring 48x33cm.

So, the uploaded image is unfortunately captured by my phone camera. There was no way this could fit in the scanner!
Which means... BAD QUALITY...
I hope I can have it scanned and re-uploaded sometime later.

But, that's all fine...

I like muscle/classy cars, so why not draw an Audi, huh?

This time, I went with full contrast techniques... Mmm, not quite full... No charcoal.
And since I need a lot of training drawing portraits, I got back to technical drawing.

An inverted drawing. Again...

Drawing the background was nasty, I got bored to be honest so I ignored many mistakes in the background, and left some parts without blending.
I mean, the background took almost 5 days! So... You know...
But all in all, I was really excited and had a lot of fun drawing it.

Again done on acid-free 48x33cm paper
2H, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B Faber-Castell (Mainly 2H, 2B, and 8B)
Blending stumps and Q-tips
Sand-paper (cleaning stumps)
Pencil-shaped eraser
Ruler
Painting brush (distributing graphite a bit, and to remove erased particles/dust)
Pencil sharpener... (I had to sharpen my 8B a lot... There were no mechanical 8B's around the corner )
About 5-7 days (40-50 hours)
The car took only 2 days! xD

Mobile camera, inverted colors, fixed contrast a bit, and gave it a dark-blue tint. (Which is what I always do. )
Adobe Photoshop CS6

Really annoyed about upload quality. Really!

And, that is it, I guess.
