That is a beautiful piece of art.
Wish I could do it.

Brilliant start to 2025. My non-artistic husband says 'a very cool car'!

It . . . doesn't have wings!

Great rendering and great clouds.

I've been lately approaching it like regular painting and blocking in color first with simple shapes and then start carving forms out with highlights and shadows...which is to say not thinking about vectors at all. Is this how you go about a piece?

BTW, looking closer at it, you got some really nice reflections off the car there with the environment showing in it. Very cool!
