I’ve had a picture of this car for ages, it’s so bright and red and the shine on it was amazing – I wanted to draw it or at least have a go. I don’t know why it’s one of those itches I think someone who does art gets…

This is how it went.

I got in the basic shape.

Then the detail and started adding the color, trying to get the color shade seemed to get me a bit. But I kept with it.

Adding more and more detail…

Until I finally got there.

This was a mix of charcoal white and black and wax color on grey shaded paper, my first shaded paper experiment… I’m quite pleased with it, but I want to do more. This is pretty cool but I leaned a bit on this and I want to see what else I can do.

My name is Simon I'm an engineer, creator, free thinker and occasionally writer. For far too long I had ideas and nowhere to put them for the world to see, that's why Planet Simon was created. I'm an experimenter, explorer and fascinated by the world around me and the people in it. My exploration goes further than the known universe and expands out to universe's I've created in my mind and put onto the creative canvas. I'm not the person I used to be and over time I have evolved and the blog is evolving with me. Whatever this blog is in the future it's a place where all are welcome and ideas can roam free to find their magical place in the universe.
