Looks good, im sure if you started selling them for like $20 you would sell quite a few.

You know, I was going to do the same thing! People love car art and it makes a great gift for women trying to find a nice gift for their VW men. Or if you just want a nice drawing of your car.

You could just draw a series of VWs (different years and models) and people would by them I think.

It would be easy for you (talent). You have a paypal account? If you get one or got one, I'd pay $20 for a pic of my 62 beetle. Be cool for you to customize the ride (lower, change wheels, roof rack, etc...) to give the owner a concept to go after or get a pic of the car they really want. Any drawing with your actual plates, scratches, stickers, etc..would be worth $20 easy. And you can get started right away, because most people here have pics in their gallery. Someone did this with the avatars last year and i think made some cash for their efforts. Let me know if you'd like to do my car as a test bed, and i'll shoot you some cash.

Are you doing just VW's or are you willing to do other things as well?
Can you work from a photo?
Can you do larger then 8 1/2 x 11?
What about adding color?

A poster size print (pencil or charcoal) could probably get you $30-40.

The images are of high quality, but there are a few technical issues-- I'll address those since you already know they're representationally sound.

Work on your value scale. Get a set of pencils(either in a tin as a set or you could start on-the-cheap by just getting 2H, HB, 2B, 4B and 6B) and make a gradation of 10 values from ground(paper) white to full black with each pencil. Also remember that an eraser is as effective a drawing tool as a pencil is! The images are washed-out(Did you use a 2B pencil exclusively?,) and having a rich black would make them more than good!!

Try to work from life on some preparatory studies-- it'll help your drawings from photographs possess a more 3-Dimensional quality.

You've a great start with these-- keep working!!

A good way to learn to work Black and White values is to convert digital photos to Grayscale in Photoshop or in any photo editing software.
