My all time favorite car drawn in Affinity Designer. It is a work in progress and a lot still has to be done, but this stage already shows where I am heading for. Update sequence and info in my portfolio blog:

@ salaivv: Thanks for the comment. There is now a vector outline view in my portfolio blog: https://communicats.blogspot.com/2020/04/renault-alpine-a110-vector-drawing.html As stated in this blog the 3D parts (wheels and tires) will be traced manually so that the image is 100% vector which makes it re-scalable to any size without loss of quality. I plan to make a poster once finished and giclee prints.

@Claus Causalis: Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment.

One of the few good looking Renault's even some other Alpine's are really ugly. The only thing I'd change are some of the highlights like on the arches. I presume you have a reference image, do they look like that?

@VectorVon Doom: First, this is an ongoing project; there still is a lot of work to be done. Below is the reference image that I used, which is a drawing itself. Not a particularly good one in my opinion - it is jagged and blurry and has perspective errors, but I think it is a dynamic view, which angle brings out the characteristics of the car quite well, especially the beautifully designed front end of the vehicle. Probably because the image shows some sort of a mild wide angle lens effect. In order to make it look more realistic, I had to take a peek at many other photographs I found on the web. Combining aspects from different sources is always a tricky business since lighting, colouring, shadows and reflections are dissimilar, so that resulted in a lot of trial and error (which still hasn't come to an end). As always I work on several projects at one time to distance myself from them and pick up things later with a fresh look on matters. It is a time consuming approach, but for this one I am not in a hurry, because I intend to add it to my portfolio (it is not an assignment).
