Without taking away from the subject, the car, I'm trying to add something to compliment it by including a figure in the background.
The reflection in the side of the car is another drawing of mine of a 1950 Ford Crestliner.
Thoughts?

Awesome drawing Ron.
Wow! Wow! What car is reflected on the side?
Just one thing: a few more dark shadow spots around the wheels to stop the car floating.
Awesome Ron.
Though the figure does not work for me. It is too flat and needs shape. Maybe add some very subtle shadows to round it out.
Ok,
Thanks all,
I made some changes and additions, but Gary, I'm having a hard time producing what I think you mean. What I've tried so far, to ME, seems to draw attention to the figure and away from the car.
Maybe you could explain a little further, if possible.
Posted my car drawing in the reflection.
Well something like this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0WforrCTJJ...oscurotest.jpg or https://i.pinimg.com/236x/99/4c/22/9...3f3c5efba2.jpg that is basically light and dark. Very simplified. Except using a slightly lighter or darker gray. This cat could be simplified into just two shades of light and dark https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6a/f2/84/6...hiaroscuro.jpg
Love the Ford too, Ron (I just realize you mentioned it as the reflection in your first post), and noticed the Townsman has 'landed'. ;)
Thanks Larry, Boy and Gary.
Gary,
Forgive me if I'm clueless, but I think everyone knows that by now. I've added highlights to the shadowy figure including a hat.
Does this come close to what you are trying to explain to me?
Personally I think your silhouette figure works very well Ron, I thought so on your first post too, but, I understand G.P.'s point which made me wonder if I was wrong.
Personally I think it works better with the single toned silhouette. Great drawing as always Ron.
Who could not love the Chev woody and the 50 Ford Crestliner. I've only ever seen one Crestliner. Very rare option on the 50 Ford.
Thanks Larry and Eric.
Thanks Gray. Yes, the Ford Crestliner actually came out in late 1950. There were two color options. The "sportsman green" and black as depicted, and a "torch red" and black version. The "Crestliner" name was kept only through the 1951 model year. After that, it was named the "Crestline" from 1952 to 1954.
And which color options for the interior went with these variations? ;)

Just noticed I need to update the color of the interior when I change from the green to the red option.:-O
Great drawing as ever Ron, especially with the updated figure in #8

Love it Ron. The information provided is a plus also, as in Gray"s posts. When I was in high school 51 Fords were the rage. This looks similar. Mine was a 51 powder blue coupe, the front seat broke and when I stepped on the gas the front bench seat would lay back, then the reverse gear went out, boy was that a ordeal trying to get out of a parking place, I had to get out and push id backwards then get back in and drive off.
Thanks for your kind comments Stygg and Larry.
I haven't as yet, but I keep telling myself I'm going to do a "51, Larry.
My oldest brother's first car was a 1950 Ford Custom convertible that was raked, with cutouts, bull-nosed and red and white tuck n' roll seats.
I only road in it once, but it was a memorable experience.
That's a beauty Ron.
EDIT: I was just relating a story that your drawing made me think of.
Fantastic Ron!
At first sight, you drew the Crestliner and the Custom separately. Did you interchange any parts?
Works a lot better for me now Ron. That is exactly what I was speaking of.Quote:

I understood. I was just reminiscing as well and sharing what my intentions have been for some time now.Quote:

Gary,
Whew! Thanks for your input. I truly appreciate it.
The two cars are very similar, aren't they? So, my questions was, did you use elements from one drawing in the other?Quote:

Hope that answers your question.
If my memory serves me correctly Ron, those are Oldsmobile fiesta hubcaps on your brothers car. Very popular back then.

Sadly, no family pics show the car.
Thanks Ron, you answered all my questions.Quote:
