• Question

  How do I draw an officer in the car?

  

  Try focusing on one thing at a time. So, do the outline of the window first, then do the officer inside the car. Or, you can skip the detail in the window, do the entire outline of the car, then move on to the inside. looking at references helps with figuring out placement and shading.

• Question

  On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it?

  

  It's about a 5.
