Genre project refined sketches

Following up from my credit card concepts, I have drawn some refined sketches for each aspect.

I have decided to do the refined sketch for my car on a framed canvas, as I wanted to take a risk and put myself in the situation where I can't erase. It took me about an hour and a half to draw the car, and I am quite happy with the final result.

I then decided to colour it as well, and I have started with the front of the car, moving slowly towards the back and getting the tones darker and darker as I did that. The car was coloured using oil pastels, while the background was added afterwards, using soft chalk pastels. All in all, I am quite pleased with the final result, even though, the front wheel looks somehow as it is in the wrong angle, but I can definitely live with that for my first attempt on a framed canvas, and it has taken place of pride on my wall:). Time taken to do this drawing, was around 4 hours, with colouring as well, and the fun had, was great.

This is my character as I would like to draw her as a final product. She will be standing / leaning against a bar, in a dark, mysterious place. The main things I wanted to have in this drawing, were the flapper dress, feather in hair, as these are essential for the era, cigarette and martini glass, ans I have introduced a little bit of red on the lips, for that splash of colour I am keen to introduce. However, some of the things in this drawing will be changed when I will draw the final piece: I don't like her pose, the legs don't look very realistic (proportions are a bit off), arms look a bit out of place and I will probably take out the lights as I feel that they will distract from the character itself.

This is my first refined sketch for the environment. However, there are so many issues with it, that I will definitely do at least another one. I have drawn the corner of the street as intended and the bar entrance, I have added the extra trash cans in the road, to enhance the dirty grungy look, but the perspective works only on some bits of the image, not on it as a whole, and that is pretty bad. I am a bit disappointed, as I have worked on this for around 2 hours, but as I have admitted numerous times before, perspective is my weakest point, and I will need to practice a lot more before I will proceed to the final piece...:(
