- Retro Interior -

Hey guys ... this time it's a painting of an interior of a retro car, a step by step process

I start with the darkest areas or contours to establish the base and then just fill in the shading. This way it's easier to quickly get the proportions and basic shading in. Painting is more about abstracting what you see and I found this to be the best method for me to see shapes and forms and indicate them easily.

In the beginning the interior looks like shape design. It's not just lines, there are also almost solid color shapes that I would modify later, add shading and all that. I had to fix the proportions quite a few times. It's a kind of an awkward angle to paint(draw), there are subtle foreshortening changes that make it a bit of a challenge. Didn't take detailing too far, it takes too much time to paint all that juicy stuff, but I also like that painterly look.

Suggestions for my future posts are very welcome ... and thank you for you votes and resteems guys :)
