I would like to share a drawing I made a while ago. It's a drawing of a Shelby Cobra, and the reason for posting it is because it is one of my favorite ones. I am very satisfied with the reflection and the contrast.
Contrast is one of the main things I focus on to get my drawings to pop out. It becomes more real and it gets a nice depth to the drawing. Many artists are afraid to really use the contrast from bright to dark when they start drawing. I did the same thing, but if you try to get it realistic you almost have to exaggerate.
A4 paper drawn with graphite pencils
It is one of my early drawings I made. Today I spend more time on the background because the image becomes more like a photo if you do. But on the other hand you focus more on the object if the background isn't as sharp.
Below you can see some process photos. Last in this post you will see a preview on tomorrows post. It's a commission job I got last week and it's starting to look like something I can share :)

Thank you :) yes it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made
Too bad they don't make them like they used to, though surprisingly, there's quite a lot of faithful recreations and replicas over the years. Still can't beat the original, though :-D
I wouldn't mind having a replica though :) but you are absolutely right
Check out this magnificent recreation... You can have a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, and with 580hp! Quite an amazing output, and all for $170,000, which isn't too bad given what it is.
