I couldn't help it......I simply HAD to start doing the last headlight lense It's not at all finished yet, but at least it may give you an idea of how just how much the headlight lenses do to a drawing of this caliber! Don't be foooled by the rough looks of the lenses when seen close up.......from a certain distance they look very realistic, (if I can say so myself), and besides the last one still isn't finished yet! The Dino is a true classic, and I hope these drawings will reflect that, and perhaps become classics in their own rights!!!

A bit further, and it's getting better and better still.... Happy New Year!!! Carsten Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow Dave... I envy you!!!! This drawing is getting really really great! I love the angle and everything... and again.. the headlights are SO nice in this one... !! Looks awesome. And I have been waiting for a Dino drawing for soooo long
That it will be......but only as a HQ litho, since Dave will get the original drawing as promised! Thanks honey, it's not often I recieve such an honor!
@Dave, FYI .....this is in fact only the third time EVER, that Tina allows me to frame and hang one of my works/lithos in our livingroom! This again tells me that I can be very proud of this one
New update with some more close ups!! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks a lot my friend, Thanks to a great high res photo, I'm able to see a lot of small details and reflections and to try and recreate them on the drawing! Best Carsten
I've been a little busy lately, so drawing has been somewhat neglected, but now I have started working on the Dinos again! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
A little investigation, and then this tread pattern came up on the front tyre.....I hope it looks just a little like the tyres you have on your car Dave??? The pattern is not visible on the photo I am working from, so I had to do a little search for what I thought was the right pattern!!! I am not completely done with the pattern yet, but I hope you'll be able to see if I hit the spot, or if I'm way off!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Looks pretty damn good to me!!! The car could have two different tread patterns. Here's what's on there now. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks Dave, Great photo, I'll use that one to finish the pattern!!! Should look much better when finished!
Not the brightest day for talking good photos of drawings....!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
A new update will be posted tomorrow, since it's really way too dark here now for taking good pictures!!!
Sorry Dave, I really tried to take some pics tonight (It's 12.40 AM here now!), but my bloody camera won't capture the delicate lines added to the drawing since the last update, so I thougt it was better to wait until the morning!! I hope it will be worth waiting for.... Best Carsten
Update 14 with some poor close up pics!!! There is no doubt in my mind, that this will be one of my absolute most delicate and finest pieces when it's done......and that's a promise!!! It will probably take a little more time to finish than I first had in mind, but I think it will be more than worth the extra time spend on it!!! Dave, these pictures will give you just a small idea of how this one looks in real right now.......I think you will be in for a little surprise when the mail man finally brings you this! I have no way of describing the effect in this drawing, and especially from the left side front tyre, fender and headlight.......I'm sure you will see what I mean, when you have it in front of you!

Thanks Guy, Tina is envious already, since the drawing goes to Dave and not to her!!! I guess I'll have to make her another Dino drawing later on!!! Best Carsten
It's a VERY VERY good work Carsten, very nice job, I like it !! Once again... I remain without voice in front of such an amount of talent Best regards
Thanks a lot dear friend, Since I know you have a great taste for fine automobiles, I tend to think that you've got the same great taste in fine art Merci beaucoup mon ami VLM and Forza Ferrari!! Carsten
