Watercolour practice, with a photo as a reference.

I plan to enter a certain comics-contest, so I'm exploring several colouring techniques to use over the lines....which is pretty hard - I've been doing only black&white stuff for years (which had a result of me literally thinking in monochrome) and my digital-graphics skills are zero, so I'm dabbling a bit with these.

Critiques and tips are MOST welcome - these are my first watercolours in ages.
Seriously, I haven't touched the shit since Elementary, which is bloody well over 20 years..

I've always had deep fascination with vintage Italian cars, especially Alfa Romeos. Astounding design, raw power, incredible elegance and spirit embodied in those cars and packed within a vibrant "rosso corsa" shade of red visual masterpiece is something unparalleled in my book.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had a dream of one day owning a gorgeous '66 Alfa Romeo Spider , and when it finally happens it will mark the achievement of one lifelong goal!

This baby above, however, could easily take Spider's place, if it wasn't for one little detail - only 18 were ever built, which makes it one of the rarest production cars in history, plus only 8 are known to still exist over 40 years later .......so you can imagine the asking price for one of these beauties nowadays must be astronomical.

Anyways:
1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale

Powered by a race-bred 2.0L V8, designed by Franco Scaglione in company's attempt to implement Alfa's racing technology achievements into a road-legal vehicle. First-ever car to feature butterfly doors.

....and THE single most BEAUTIFUL thing on 4 wheels EVER built. Period.
Serously, this mediocre picture of mine doesn't do it justice, go watch some Youtube videos, photos and shit, and feast your eyes.


So deliciously curvaceous, drooling-ly voluptuous, amazingly powerful and infinitely desirable......this car is pure wet SEX!
