Description

This drawing is dedicated to a friend, who is a very very big lover of BMW models ( X5 in particular :D ), but who is also a great person!!
His name is Todor, and he is none other than the admin of the official BMW X5 Facebook page!! ( www.facebook.com/BMWX5?fref=ts )
About 1 year ago, he was officially declared "BMW Facebook Superfan" ( check out the video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA4EZT… )
His story was inspirational for me, it's great to know someone whose love for cars (BMWs in this case) is so big that the brand you love itself decides to reward you with a special gift!
So, when he asked me to draw an X5 for him, I was more than happy to do it!!

Now, let's talk about the drawing... This time I extended even further the range of tools I used!! In fact, toghether with my usual 2B and H3 graphite pencils and black colored pencil, I used a black marker and a black drawing pen (I just love those two tools) and, for the first time, I also added a grey colored pencil!! It was very useful because it's easier to combine with the marker and the other colored pencil, and I used it for most of the shading of the car.
I also decided to use a white gel pen for some shiny highlights in the car body :D
The reference picture of this drawing is a combination of two different ones: Todor liked the idea of having the BMW Headquarter building in the background, so I drew it too :)

What more can I say... I think I'm very happy with the result and I will definitely use again the grey colored pencil :)
I hope you like this too!!
PS: I will upload a better picture later >_<

Oh and,... Happy new year, everyone!!! :) :) :w00t:
