Hi all, it's been a while since I posted here!

I'm working on a project for fun. I got a new box of oil pastels and I wanted to do something shiny.

Partially finished:



More finished:



The pictures were taken with my webcam but when it is finished I will take a picture with my real camera. The color is actually much brighter than in these pictures. Critique, suggestions? Thanks!

I really can't critique art, but I really like how you created texture, and also the perspective on this piece. Nice job, hopefully someone else will come along with some more helpful comments

I can't wait to see how it turns out. Brilliant colours and I love how you made it shiny, I can never do that no matter how many times I try. Also love how the front of the car, sorry don't know what it's called, almost jumps out of the page.

That's pretty awesome, I must say! I would like a little background, maybe a city street or a desert street, but what you have done so far needs no critique!

Thanks!

I plan on putting a sort of urban background, but blurring it so it doesn't distract from the car. You can see the other side of the "street" through the window on the right.

Oooh that's really good. You are very artistic indeed.

Can't wait to see the next picture you post of this. Urban background sounds good.

That is very well done. Oil Pastels are the best. Did you work off of a photo or are you going from out of your head? The effects are very profound and really help it pop out. I look forward to seeing it finished.

I was going to say something, but when you said you could get the color better i was fine. Over all the Texture looks good, but the angle looks a bit off to me. Kind of scrunched at the end. Do you see it or is it just me?

Oh dear no, I'm going off a photo.

The angle is originally odd and unusual, and in the reference photo it is indeed scrunched, perhaps even more so. It also needs more definition and finishing in that area.

Thanks!
