Finished this digital painting of a Ferrari Testarossa with a Lamborghini Countach reflected in the wing: over 17,000 brush strokes over 4 days. I use mostly airbrush with lots of blending, then a thin curl brush by @byvegalia to get the tiny radiator fins behind the side air intake grille for the rear engine, with airbrushed shading over the top to fade them into the right uniform look. It took a few attempts but I’m glad with how it came out! We went to the classic car show at Olympia a couple of months ago and took the reference photo there. This is probably the closest to photorealism I’ve got so far! #Ferrari #Testsrossa #FerrariTestarossa #Lamborghini #Countach #Lambo #LamborghiniCountach #ArtCommission #ArtCommissionsOpen #DigitalCarArt #ClassicCar #RetroCar https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq8NkDdqfbt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I can share this one now, probably one of the most challenging illustrations to date, as the wiggly chrome reflections were mind-melting! I’m really glad I persevered though. (Included final, some details, and an earlier WIP stage). This is available on my Redbubble (TheOldGirl900) link via linktree in bio, the default is set to “sticker” but you can scroll to select each item printed on different merch options including prints and clothing etc. I don’t get to set the prices on Redbubble, and only get about 20% of the profits, but it’s better than nothing, and you get to help out a disabled creator who is also a lifelong car enthusiast. #DigitalArt #ArtCommission #ArtCommissionsOpen #DigitalCarArt #RollsRoyce #ClassicCar #VintageCar #SpiritOfEcdtasy #FlyingLady #Mascot #Rolls https://www.instagram.com/p/ChOAvnwK46M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(Swipe for more). FINISHED! Also: found something interesting when you turn some layers off and discover an accidentally cool new artwork as a bonus to what you intended to create. (See at the end, highlights later only, then highlights plus some shading, both on black background.) 1920s #RollsRoyce #SilverWraith #Wraith #DigitalArt #ArtCommission #ArtCommissionsOpen #DigitalCarArt #ClassicCar #VintageCar #Rolls #Roller https://www.instagram.com/p/CWn7lN1qdDX/?utm_medium=tumblr

This #RangeRover #P38 is a surprise for someone special who fortunately doesn’t do social media. It took longer than usual to draw as it’s been a rough week or so recently. I’ve popped it up on Redbubble as well for anyone who would like to order merch.

Mary the Bentley’s sibling Henry is FINISHED! 12 1/2 hours over nearly 3 weeks of meticulous detail & working at tiny scale zoomed in to capture every shade and highlight. I’m so please with it!

Finished! Worked on her over the course of 8 days. A lot of airbrushing and blending, usually VERY zoomed in to get tiny detail. I spent an hour on 1 tyre alone. Not even the wheel rim, just the tyre! Sent the file off to the printers now so I can post it out for Christmas. Drawn using procreate on iPad.

New #WIP commission. The line work stage alone so far, without even the wheels detailed, was a minute shy of an hour total drawing time, and that’s only step 1. #DigitalArt #ArtCommission #ArtCommissionsOpen #DigitalCarArt #Ford #FordArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CS4iBddKIUt/?utm_medium=tumblr
