Antique Cars

There is a dealer in vintage and antique automobiles and trucks here in Des Moines. They occupy a former new car dealership downtown, with a large outside lot along one side. Just across the street is one of the rare groves of trees one sees in our cities, where I've happily spent time sketching antique autos and trucks parked in that lot. These little sketches are commonly drawn lightly with graphite then painted. Emphasis and outlines are usually added afterwards, using a technical pen.
