#291 – Crosstour? Crossed out.
We went to test drive a Honda Accord Crosstour today. That V6 sure is nice, with 100+ more horses than I’m used to. And the sweeping (albeit polarizing) body styling and larger wheels are good too — but unfortunately they combine to sabotage the rear storage compartment (which is pretty disappointing for a car of that size). And there, folks, is my first printed car review, clocking in at a powerfully informative three sentences. Take that, Edmunds.com! I shall soon be crowned king of online automotive advice!

It looks so professional. What are you using to shade the car? It’s not those water brush thingies, right?

Thanks — this is done with neutral gray copic markers like this:

Used here are just N2, N4, N6 & N8 (plus a red one of course, for the lettering.) Also, the bleedproof Letraset paper makes a big difference too.

They’re great for sketching with. I dig ’em. Actually, here’s a link to view all the posts here that are done with them:
