Realistic Car Painting

[brant73]

This is a Prismacolor drawing I completed a while back. The original canvas is 14"x20" so you can imagine the issues I had scanning this in! That's why it's a bit blurred. The original isn't so bad but oh well.....hope you all enjoy.

that looks nice
i dont quite understand how you did it, like, kind of paint and such
i probably sound really dumb, but i dont understand (and i would like to :P)

Sorry, I could have elaborated, I did this using the burnishing technique, by which darker layers of color are applied, then lighter colors are smeared into the darker ones. It involves layer upon layer and the friction actually melts the colors into one another. That's why it's called BURNishing. I go through alot of Prismas this way! Burnished drawings are usually referred to as "paintings" just because the finished product more often resembles a true painting rather than a colored pencil drawing. Anyway, I hope that explains some. Also, this was drawn on cold pressed cresent board. It took about a week off and on.

the only thing i notice is the wing mirror looks a bit weird just floating about

so this is actually done on a canvas?

WTF guys!? This is one of the best works I have seen in this forum. If he says it is done on a canvas, then it probably is.

You have done a REAL good job on this. Love it! Faved it on DeviantART. I would like to see more of your pencil drawings and stuff.

yeah it's good didn't read where it said canvas.. but yeah nice just wondered because you said some effect and about layers and junk.. thought you meant some kind of photoshop stuff wondered why it's in this section but still superb

Hey, appreciate the comments everybody! Yes, it's on a literal canvas, also Prismacolors are high-grade colored pencils. The leads are made of this waxy material that blends really well. And yeah Spikee, now that you mention it, the mirror does look like it's just hanging there...DANG IT!!!!! too late now...
Also, thanks for the fav at DA Rabieshund!

Very blurry, the steering wheel looks a bit oval shapead, the mirror looks a bit funky for some reason, back text isn't very readable, back top light looks odd (blurryness) the bottom right ones are a little bit off (the lights I mean). But it is good. I like it. Keep going with your work.
