1965 Ford Mustang Sketch
Graphite pencils on 8.5X11 Canson 90 LB Classic Cream Drawing Paper, 10 hours

This is a preliminary drawing for a painting. I draw out what i want and make sure i have the values down before i start painting. This helps me to also “see” the car i want to paint. The better i see it now, the better my painting will be later.

This is a sketch, not intended to be a great drawing, but this was a frustrating chore as this paper was not very helpful at all. Second drawing in a row where i started cursing my choice of paper. I could continue to search through my pads of paper to find the right one, but decided to not do that and try something new. :icongolfiscool: Has some great art work in his gallery, and some great tutorials on the internet as well. He recommends 140 lb. Fabriano Artistico Bright White Hot Pressed Watercolor Paper. So i ordered me a pad that should be here before my painting is finished. Here is a link to his tutorials and tips in case you are interested [link] .

Here is the reference photograph that i used [link] .

I don't usually spend this much time on a pencil drawing like this, it's incredible! Love the car choice too. :D (Big Grin)
