Oil pastels, touches of black Conte pencil and Polychromos pencils (tail lights).

Love the Bug!!

What OP's do you use, Lamar? I feel like I should know that but I don't. Your greens are very vivid here.

 

[Queen Bee]

Very nice. Great job on that back window glass.

 

[Jo Castillo]

I like the composition and colors.

 

[Enyaw]

Nice bug

 

[triss]

Love your oil pastel texture, and great job with the drawing of the Bug - very nice work with the highlights.

 

[Artyczar]

This is a sweet piece. I am a fan of VWs. What is the size? Well done!

 

[Donna T]

Nice! I like the brightness of the trees and you did a great job with the Bug.

Thanks Terri, Queen Bee, Jo, Wayne, Triss, Arty, and Donna for the encouraging words!

Love the Bug!!

I used Cray-pas Specialists, Terri. I did a little GIMPcraft on the lousy pic, so it's possible that I inadvertently saturated those greens a bit. (The pic was washed-out, so I duplicated the single layer and drained most of the density from the new layer before I merged them.)

What is the size?

It's roughly 10"x10,"Artyczar. Strathmore used to make that wonderfully odd Aquarius II paper in a big wirebound notebook-type format, in which I drew/painted the VW from a photo. (one of these days, I'll make a smaller book of that paper from sheets. Gotta learn a little binding for that, though.)

Ah, the Specialist OPs. Nice! Thanks for reminding me.
