Chrome Rim Drawing Tutorial

Chrome Rim Drawing Tutorial
Hi everyone :)

In this tutorial you can learn how to draw a realistic chrome rim!
The tutorial consists of a video at the start where I draw the rim,
and a step by step picture guide with explanation. I have also
included a drawingvideo at the last step, where I draw an entire
chopper bike. Remember to have fun drawing, and I will gladly
comment you if you send a photo of your rim drawing
(contact me via my website).

Estimated time to finish: 3, 5 hours
Tools: Mechanical pencil 0, 5
pencils HB, 2B, 4B, 5B
Blending stick or a Q-tip

Step 1Reference photo

Reference photo
I have chosen a car from the movie 2 fast 2 furious as reference picture. This rim is very
detailed and quite shiny, so it's a good picture to draw. The photo that I found was not too big,
so I made the drawing a bit lager. That's why I have written the numbers on the drawing in the
next step, and then you can check if you have the size and geometrics worked out right :)

Without being very good at art to begin with, these instructions don't help. Being the mediocre artist wanna-be that I am, this helps me none at all. However an experienced artist may find this very useful. 4 *

Dang. Usually I don't like Metacafe, but you deserve props for this one. It makes me ashamed to call what I do 'Art' (for which I'm hoping to post some instructables soon) I totally understand how long it takes to finish a work, too. You could start on a drawing, then when you're almost done with just the most basic line art, an hour is gone. Great job.

You're just amazing buddy. Didn't know you still did stuff here. :D I love how you create the lighting effects. They are absolutely amazing, its what brings the drawing to life. Ive been drawing alot more and taking some of your advice, but still got a long way to go until im close to your skill level. But i recently did draw a graffiti/calligraphy piece for this girl, it was good stuff :D Do you do any other art styles?

Oh yeah, those 3D programs take forever to master. I've got a friend who is just stunning with the free 3D rendering program Blender. I do some acrylic painting and oil painting too :D
