At first, it was a 1908 FIAT SB4. Then, Ernest Eldridge added a FIAT plane engine and created a monster.
I decided to iIllustrate this car using a style inspired by 1940s Disney cartoons. Although this was planned more like a practice illustration, it turned out well enough to post.
My process was fairly straight-forward. I started out with a quick sketch (which I am not going to post cuz it sucks), then using reference picyures to get the details straight. I scanned the sketch and started Illustrator up.
