Paintings and Rally Vehicles

I've finally got around to doing a couple of painting studies. This is my first experience with a more painterly style and I love it! It's so much fun and I feel like I learn so much about lighting and composition when doing these studies. The sketches are some quick thumbnail vehicles I worked on while on lunch break at Black and Decker. I was thinking of an off-road rally race that's sort of open to all classes and forms of vehicles. I was really just having fun and taking a break from faucet design. I'm definitely gonna have to take one of these into a painting later!
