    Default 1954 Chevrolet BelAir Townsman

    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?

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    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
