Driving..I mean, Drawing through Summer

This summer, I had to find a way to relax and enjoy myself beyond what has been a very hectic, yet productive summer. I have retaken a Biology course online to bring my grade up to an A, SAT preparation for next month, swim practice, driving tests, and many enjoyable flying lessons towards a Private Pilot License have all kept me quite busy. One thing that relaxes me most is when I can draw one of my favorite subjects – CARS. I have always had a passion for drawing since I was little. Although, I have slowly made progress and started scaling my drawing larger as well. I am now using 18×24-inch sheets. For my medium, I use a combination of alcohol markers and Faber-Castell as well as Crayola color pencils. I use the markers as a base layer and as my blending instrument. I then add depth to my drawing using colored pencils layered on top of the marker layer. As a result, I get extremely vibrant and detailed drawings.

Tell me which ones you like best. and they’re also for sale if you’re interested.

I later came up with the perfect photo title – “LDN” for Loudoun County, where you see all this fanciness pass you on the roads, being of course the wealthiest county in Virginia, but it had already gone for framing.
