Lightning McQueen - finished

Well, it took another 6 months to actually get back to completing this drawing. It's obviously been a busy year, with not much time to sit down and pick up a pencil.

The side of Lightning McQueen was probably the most difficult to draw. I've seen others' attempts of this same picture, and they've left a lot of the detail out - but I was keen to keep as much in as I could.

I'm using Strathmore paper (Bristol - smooth), and Prismacolor soft-core coloured pencils. 
I've also been experimenting with applying some odourless mineral spirits to sections of the drawing to blend the wax of the pencils to a point where you can't see the tooth of the paper. I feel like there is mixed success with that technique here.
