Old car drawn

Here I'm just blocking in everything with tone, if I see dark tones, in they go and the same with middle tones, the lights I'm not too bothered about because I can lift out the charcoal with a putty rubber or put them in with white pastel. Another option for the lights is to leave white paper but I find this quite difficult with a medium such as charcoal.

So far we have done three stages, the first stage was the sketching in with pencil, the second stage I used charcoal to draw over the pencil lines. The third stage is the blocking in of both middle and dark tones.

I'm now using the charcoal pencil to draw in lines where needed to straighten things up. There is a person in the car but no detail is added here only a suggestion, the main focus is on the car.

Here I'm using the putty rubber to pull out the light tones of reflected light which is important as reflected light gives the subject more volume.

Concentrating here in getting the front wheel in perspective, as said earlier it is foreshortened because of the angle we are looking at it so it will be an elliptical shape.
