    Default Cadillac

    Agree with you Ron and Norman, there has been a little quiet last days.
    This drawing has haunted me for a while but now I’m through with it, at last, a Cadillac from 1931.

    GREAT job, Sven!
    Really good detailed work. I like the colors. Do you think that emphasizing the highlights a little more might work well? Anyway, looks good as it is.

    After some time has passed you may want to revisit this drawing and make changes to it (not that you need to), it's just something I often do with my drawings.

    Can you change the color, used named colors?

    Ah! I like that Sven. There is a nice smoothness about it. I like also the glass in the headlights, the tyre tread pattern, the spokes etc. Like Bruce says thanks for sharing.

    Thank you Bruce, Ron, Norman and DAL.
    Ron: On my first drawing I didn’t use named colours simply because I didn’t understand how to do it. Later I’ve practised it but on this particular car, not. This car exist in only one ex in Europe, I found it in a small museum here in Sweden, and it is yellow and brown and I liked the colours so much so I didn’t feel like wanting to change them. Nevertheless, named colours is one of the best features of the program.
    You are probably right concerning the highlights. I have tried to practice more emphasised highlights, which I see works so well on your drawings, but it always ends up with some safe haven with minor highlights- so far.

    That is a really nice drawing Sven very well executed. A car that age had no "Bling" or at least less as it is a Caddy and lots of time they used nickel chrome on headlights and bumpers instead of the highly polished bumpers (fenders) after the war. As I said nice drawing.
    Design is thinking made visual.
