Spent a bit of time on this. Got the idea looking at a popular automotive forum avatar photo of Sonu who sent me the larger version. Thanks again Sonu for the help. Here is the original:
I took the following photos during various stages of the drawing:
I had initially wanted to make it a watercolor but I decided to stop here before I ruined this further Did this sketch at the Tata Grande – IndiBlogger meet this afternoon in Chennai at the Hyatt. Good food and lot of bloggers from across Chennai and India ! Had a nice time meeting with Shrawan (www.indianautosblog.com) and Harish (autotechblog.org) and a whole lot of the IndiBloggers !
The Mahindra XUV 500 was launched yesterday and details of pricing and variants shared today. The pricing seems to be spot on and the buzz on the net indicates Mahindra has done their homework on the pricing very well. However there is one issue – the front jawline doesnt remind me of a Cheetah – its more of The Predator. Here is an image I mashed together – do you see the resemblance ?
Saw this Renault Koleos in heavy traffic on Anna Salai (Mount Road) near the Saidapet bus stop around 5:30 PM wearing very minimal camo – just some cover of tape on the badges at the rear. This confirms reports of its release being very near. Was able to get only two photos (taken by my wife) as I was driving and there was too much traffic.
Overall it looked good and paint quality seemed nice. Has decent road presence. Was not able to see the front due to traffic. Hope it is priced well. This color pencil sketch is dedicated to Mr. Shyam Krishnamachary (a.k.a StanHer on a certain forum). His passion and knowledge about all cars made by the Standard Motor Company is limitless and he is always ready and willing to help whenever possible with queries regarding cars (preferably Standards). For those that don’t know him he is probably one of the first to have an almost complete collection of Standard Motors cars. This is his latest (b)ride
