I did the initial sketch for this as an accuracy study in a previous lesson. Prior to shading, I cleaned up the sketch and corrected some proportional errors I had noticed during my earlier self-critique. In order to better work "from imagination", I inverted the paint scheme of the vehicle relative to the reference photo. Additionally, I pulled the light source slightly forward of the vehicle, so that in the drawing the light would illuminate the face of it.
For this assignment, I shaded almost exclusively using the halfway-to-black method. All tones are flat, except for some airbrush in and around the undercarriage. I intend to revisit this drawing again for the "Creating Realism" lesson. At that time, I will attempt to account for all of the modeling factors.

An alternate version of my halfway-to-black study. Most of the work I put into this second version had to do with cleaning up the edges, so that I could discard the line sketch. I also made further tweaks to the perspective, proportions, as well as to the light and shadow shapes. Lastly, I returned the car to a more traditional paint scheme for this model; a friend of mine, to whom I showed the previous version, seemed disappointed by the white paint scheme.
With the edges now cleaned up, I am ready to apply the modeling factors. The next time I post this image, it should be more fully rendered.
