Overlaying an image is a great way to learn about reflections and focus mainly on your rendering skills. For this demo, I blew a picture to about 30 in long. From experience larger is better for vellum renders. Traced over on the backside with a black verithin. This is a great opportunity to practice your line quality; since they are there for you practice doing thick to thin lines.

 

 


 

On the back side I start to block in the wheels and ground shadow. Already you have to know your light source to determine the shadow. I want a hot spot on the side so the shadow goes behind and forward. Also I want warm to cool so I made a gradiant from Copic Artwerp Blue To Warm Grey.

On Vellum using both sides allows you to test and be messy on the back, then come back to the front for more accuracy. Also Its twice the value.

 

 

 

 

 

On the front I start to work on the tires and a little detail, not really necessary this early but if you suck at wheels always keep some reference around. I used some white prisma to bring out the tread lines
