1966 GTO Marker Drawing

Black is always an adventure – as I’ve said before, black acts like a mirror and simply reflects whatever is nearby.

This black 1966 GTO Tri-Power is a commission piece, and turned out pretty well.

I started by sketching out the car with mechanical pencil, and slowly filling in the shades with cool grays, going from lightest to darkest. There is a surprising amount of white in this black paint, so rather than using a ton of white paint, I left large areas blank.

I finished the car off using Micron 0.2, 0.35 & 0.5 millimeter ink pens. There is one splash of red in the fender badge, but that is the only color in the entire drawing. The picture is framed in 11×14.
