Thank you muchly people! Let’s hope my prof agrees, since I havent been graded on this yet, and I really dont understand how he grades 
Yay! My first Pixar drawing in almost a year! Unfortunately, it’s not new, it’s just an updated improvement on a previous one. I wanted to redo my original King drawing:

Those are gorgeous! Excellent shading, you have a real gift! Keep it coming!
That’s cool that you can actually be bothered to go back and update old works, lennonluvr9. I always say I’ll do that and I never do. 
I love the shading on this one, it’s got so much depth, and the lineart is spot on as always. 
Thanks guys! Glad you like it! 
lizardgirl- lol, yeah well, it took me awhile to actually get around to it. There are probably a bunch I could redo and improve, but I dont usually ever look at my older pieces. But lately I have looked at a couple and have been like “ew, why did I ever think that looked good??” My old king one had been bothering me for a long time. I knew it was out of proportion and just never felt like correcting that till now.
Here’s another not-quite-new one that I just redid, an old one of Doc that definitely needed revising:

Whoah, very, very excellent work there lennonluvr. You have an impeccable talent for light and shading, keep up the good work! You should try to do a sunset or something, kinda like that paradise falls concept art for Up with the gang standing together on a rock in front of the falls. Could be Cars related too, with Lightning and Sally. I think you could really pull off a pic with some great lighting.
How long did that take you to draw? I’m gonna guess 8 hours or so
That drawing of Doc is ‘Hudson Hornet Fabulous’! You must have had a lot of practice! Did you take art classes or was it mostly self-learnt? Cos’ the lines, the reflective details (like the chrome bumpers, hubcaps, headlights, body panels), smudging, shading, everything is amazing. Very professional.
I’ll have a look at your other work, I think you’re a really talented Cars fan artist.
That’s my favourite concept art I’ve seen so far.
oh my goodness! That Doc Hudson picture absolutely blew me away! Keep up the Amazing work!
Wonderful drawing of Doc Hudson! I think I’ve said this before, but you are great at shading! Keep it up!
Thank you muchly everybody!
ffdude- My main focus here was just redoing what I had done before, hence, no background. It took me about 6 hours, maybe 7.
driveintheatre- I took art classes for 4 years in high school and I took a drawing class in college, but I’ll tell ya, I learned the most actually from this “How to draw real people” book i have. Sometimes those books dont really do much, but this one was very helpful. So I took what I learned from that book and just applied it to every piece of realism I do.
I remember the original one of the recently updated Doc piece, and I have to say that you’ve made some great improvements! The shading, as others have said, is great and it truly does look just like him. The only constructive criticism I can offer is that the wheel that’s turned and facing outwards in the centre of the piece doesn’t look perfectly round, as though it has a kink, but that’s a tiny detail and everything else is perfect. Great work, lennonluvr9!
really? looks yeah I see it now that it’s been pointed out to me 
I’m not a big fan of that wheel either to be honest. Not cuz of the shape, but I dont like the way I shaded it. But as long as I dont focus on that and look at the drawing as a whole, it looks okay to me. I sometimes have a tendency to just look at my mistakes.
Quite ironic, really, that the greatest teacher was a silent one. May I have the name of author and a possible cover image? Sounds interesting to me.
yeah my actual art teachers were not always the most helpful or encouraging people I’ve dealt with.
I found on Amazon the exact book I have (I wasnt sure if I still had it or not! I havent looked at it in years…):

Of course I’ve adapted some of the author’s instructions to better suit my style and needs, but the basic ideas I mainly got from this.
Done a Pixar one for the first time in months. Another Doc Hudson. This was of a scene I always had been wanting to draw, but I only got around to doing it now:
This one is another re-do that I probably should have done last year. In any case, here’s ‘the new, improved, Lightning McQueen’:
Oh my gosh that Lightning McQueen looks more realistic that the one in the movie!!!
I’m not sure if I’d go that far, but thanks! Glad you like it
Nice renderings, lennonluvr! I like your Cars fanart. I’m, like, “your biggest fan”! Kachow! xD
