This is page 26 of a cartooning tutorial titled "How to Draw: Muscle Cars Two," signed by the artist Bosley. It teaches readers how to draw a hot-rod cartoon of a 427 cubic-inch 1965 Ford Fairlane in three illustrated steps. Step one shows blocking the car from two basic boxes, tapering the front and rear fenders down to a side body line, roughing in tires, and dividing the front end. Step two adds the grill, headlights, bumper detail, a blower poking through the hood, hood lines, windshield and roofline, side windows, a driver, a side scoop above the wheel well with trim toward the front, wheel contour, and side pipes. Step three covers inking: outlining with a thick line, adding details with a finer line, working out the grill in pencil then inking with a ruler, and using solid blacks to create the illusion of a glossy paint job, plus shadow and tire lighting for flash. Each step is accompanied by a progressively more detailed drawing, ending in a fully inked cartoon of the blown Fairlane doing a burnout. A reader learns a complete pencil-to-ink workflow for drawing a cartoon muscle car.
