Day forty-five of The 100 Day Project for 2021.

There are so many things wrong with yesterday's sketch. I don't know where to start...

No, that's not true.

Let's start with those tyres and wheel arches. Clearly, the proportion of the front and rear tyres should be reversed.

Despite sketching in landscape format - after acknowledging I wasn't going to manage it as a square sketch and erasing my first attempt - it still ended up squished.

Overall, it's not terrible, but there are many flaws in this drawing, despite the fact I worked on it for about an hour. I wasn't rushed as I started drawing earlier, though I'm posting it the next day.

Oh well.

Again, the original sketch was drawn with a 4H pencil. Then main outlines/lines were gone over with an HB and the secondary bits (e.g. lines seen through glass) in a heavier 4H.

I always wanted a VW Beetle (the old school style, like this) and/or a Mini Minor. However, my Mum rolled a Mini taking a corner in her younger days, so she was against that idea. And she wasn't keen on a car with the engine in the front.

I'm pretty sure she also had a Fiat of some description in her younger days, though I'm not sure it was a Fiat 500.

So, she had some of the cars I fancied and wasn't up for me having the same.

Maybe that contributed to me never actually getting my full license and buying a car...?
