Sharpie Artwork

Just thought I'd share what me and co worker have been working on. We're in communication with Active Autowerke for making a custom Active wheel cover for one of their cars. What do you guys think? This one isnt done yet, but you get the idea. If theres anything any of you guys want done, feel free to ask. I'm probably gonna have some done to my interior

The middle and most of the left looks decent, but it looks like a different person did the right side. I actually really like the middle. As it goes up on the right it just looks worse and worse to me. The lines are pretty shaky and uneven there. Having most of it scribbled in and not totally filled on the right side just makes it look worse.

Better than I could do. I wouldn't normally say something bad about it for that reason, but you asked.

Well this one isnt fully finished. All the spots where the looks like it wasnt fully filled in, will be in the end.

And this where the cover would go. Ideally, most of the interior trim would match with the sharpie work

I know it is not fully finished, and thank you for taking the criticism well. I figure you posted this wanting honest thoughts, so I gave you some.

Like I said I really do like the middle part. Some of it is a bit jagged or not straight but that lends itself to making it look like a real drawing. If it all turns out like that it should look pretty good.

As for the drawing skills i like. as for the interior looking like a huge graffiti mural, I can't say that I would want my interior having tags everywhere.

You would probably make more money in a tattoo parlor.

I don't mind people giving their opinion, as long as they also give a reason for it. I hate when people blow up on you, saying its the most disgusting thing in the world....just because its not their style.

And it would really be alot of the interior that would look like this. If you look at like a 135i or a 335i, it'd basically be where the wood grain trim is. Thats what WOULD be done if some asked us.

More money probably could be made at a tattoo parlor, but I'm not the one did the actual sharpie work. I vinyl wrap or paint the parts, then my co worker does the sharpie.
