    to Ross - I agree with you, I think to see your discribed shadow errors is what makes the difference between an amateur like me and a professionel .
    to John - yes I draw a perspective raster , which had elements of an 'out of center one point view' and and a 'two point view' . The only 'secret' in this picture is : nearly every object was blured with my mostloved Xara tool - the feather region slider .
    At least - I post a detail to clear out obscury with the reflections on the bumper [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    Hi Jay,

    I must amend my earlier post, now that I'm home and can view your drawing in all it's magnificence. My computer at work was only set for 16bit graphics. It is a very beautiful image. I liked it before but now I LOVE it. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    Thanks for the zoomed view! It is a joy to study.

    Thanks for sharing the picture, Jay!

    I'm impressed on at least two counts:

    1. You seem to have found a happy medium between 'painting' and 'photo-realism', with a lovely sense of style which is especially obvious in the zoomed view.
    2. I've always wondered about Chevy Impalas, having found that many on Internet searches for Hunter Impalas (which are boats)!

    Grahma had a '59 Chevy (before that nothing but Buicks). IMHO the fins of the '59 are much better than the 1960.

    Jay,

    simply great. You should have used real textures to compliment the detail of the car.

    ... for the gas prices...

    Cars like that are pieces of art, they have so many beatiful shapes to them.

    Jay, I think you did amazing job on the car and the environment that you placed it in just adds to the overall feel of your illustration.

    Your zoomed in view of the car would have worked amazingly well also.

    Risto
