Ready for a safari?

When I saw this 4WD, I thought: ‘I just have to sketch this. It is too unique to ignore’. What attracted my attention was its air intake system. (It’s located right beside the windshield). I had never seen such thing. It is an old Land Rover, though. Not really well maintained.
While sketching, an older man passed by and he wanted to see if I was sketching him. Then he wanted to see my other sketches. I let him. He thought I study at the Academy of Art. I told him:’No, it’s just my hobby’. At first he didn’t believe me, but then I insited. Well, that’s the truth anyway.

  1. your pen work is so wonderful, this looks great, the tree reflection in the windshield, nice!

  2. WONDERFUL sketch!! And dreamy enough to remind me how fun those land rovers can be! The sketch below it is also incredibly well done!! GLORIOUS!

  3. I like the way you’ve colored the background and left the car uncolored for contrast. A very nice drawing.

  4. People often ask me if I’m an art student and they are disappointed when I tell them I’m not. Some of them even get angry and insist I am wasting my life….I never understand those people. Very nice sketch by the way!

  5. Very nice, can recognise the make of car straight away.

  6. This is a wonderful sketch. Can I ask how long it took to do (just the sketching not the painting)? Do you then work on it at home?

  7. Thank you everyone for your kind comments!

  8. that’s brilliant!
