Step-by-Step - Cesar Deferrari

Cesar Deferrari was born in Argentina in 1970. In 1994 he began his artistic studies in Buenos Aires (Mitre Institute), where he learned the basic drawing and painting techniques. There, he discovered the airbrush, a tool that caught him completely, and he decided to take more courses to improve this technique. In turn, he studied illustration and caricature in different places. Since 1999 he has had a studio where he regularly gives airbrushing and drawing courses. He has participated in various individual and collective exhibitions showing his art and gave airbrush workshops in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and Spain

This time, I had the pleasure of doing a caricature of a Shelby Cobra. Since, in general, I don't do so many car drawings, it was somewhat challenging. In the first image, I show you the sketch of the car. It was casual, and since I liked the result, I wanted to paint it with an airbrush on a t-shirt. I always try to have several photographic references when making the design.

2-I start by painting the car's darkest parts; for this, I prepare a relatively translucent black mixture: 20 drops of transparent base, 20 drops of reducer, and two drops of black. With this mix, I have much more control over the details and excellent precision. Next, I start to paint the front wheel. I am using Badger Sotar 2020 airbrush.

3- I keep moving towards the back of the Shelby. I try to keep the precision as high as possible.

4- In the headlight, I do some texture, small fades, and dots.

5- In this image, already assembled the entire bodywork, wheels, steering wheel, and front grill. It already looks like a car; this is just the base.

6- Now, with the same mixture, I paint more fade effect in the part of the sun visor, and I detail the frames of the windshield and rearview mirror.
