    Default Pick a Part for all

    For anyone interested in drawing vehicles, I've attached a Xara file
    for you to pick apart. You can learn how I accomplish my drawings and
    achieve various effects. This is not one of my prized drawings, I'll
    admit, but it does provide some teaching points for those who
    want a start at this type of drawing.


    As you all know, there are a number of individuals that contribute
    to this forum that could provide better techniques and results,
    but I just thought I'd share a bit of what I have learned.


    I hope this will be helpful to some out there.

    That is very generous of you Ron. It's interesting to isolate your layers.

    I think all users can benefit from this preview of your drawing. I think my mon had that model. She loved Buicks.

    I agree, thanks

    I don't draw cars, but I discovered something really useful in the way you made the glass for the headlights with a combination of transparency and fill

    Thanks Ron!
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
    Avoiding Manual Labour.

    Very generous and organized work Ron, I never couldn't organize any of my drawings, eagerness always beats me :-)
    Thank you very much again.

    Make that two!

    I can't believe that I had not said thanks for such a generous gift.
    THANKS, Ron

    Thank you for sharing your work. It's very educational. Nice touch that you included the factory color chart. Tampico Red is my favorite.

    Yes, Thanks Ron.

    I have always admired your subjects and techniques.

    I can learn from this and apply some of it to my aircraft if that is OK with you.

    One of my grandfathers had a 59.
