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.

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 :)
