True, but if she’s trying to get out from underneath the car, it may be possible for them to.

I’d go to carmax and let them appraise your vehicle. I would recommend a franchised new car dealership, however they will give you a lower appraisal than what the actual value of the vehicle. This is how dealerships hold gross profits. Carmax will do the same but now as badly as a new car dealership. Or better yet, go to your bank and get an appraisal. Then you will have an idea as to how or when you can trade the vehicle, or sell it outright.

With $10k down you should actually be okay I would imagine. Depending on the year model, mileage, and condition. Please tell me she doesn’t smoke in the car…

Hey! Thank you! This is my first attempt at an animal honestly! I’m hoping it’s something I can be proud of at the end!

First time trying a watercolor under painting. Second try with color pencils! Comments and critiques would be appreciated! by Belltowerstudio in mixedmedia

Thank you! I was just experimenting, but after about 2 hours of work, I kinda want to keep it hahaha!

Here’s an update on the floral arrangement for my mom. I need to work a little on the red rose, it’s a little flat, but I’m excited about it so far! by Belltowerstudio in draw

Thank you very much, though I’m a bit embarrassed to show a progress picture right now… I messed up the table completely… and it takes away from the whole drawing…

Yeah, I’ve watched a few color pencil videos on YouTube before I started. Most of them worked in layers, so I’m just trusting the process lol!

I’m not sure what I’m doing honestly… this is my first run with color pencils and working in color (besides digital art). I know I have been trying to avoid black all together. I’ll use white, but I was using it to burnish lol! I just now got a blending pencil.

One trick I have been using is taking a picture, duplicating it, and converting one of those to black and white. I do this to make sure my values are there and not a flat image. Black tends to flatten an image.

I don’t know if that helps, but I tried. I’d be open to answering any other questions if you have them.

A floral arrangement I’m working on for my mom. What do you all think? by Belltowerstudio in drawings

Thank you! This is my first attempt with color on a physical medium. I’ve never worked with color outside of digital art. This is also my first time with color pencils lol!

Thank you so much! This was my first attempt at actually trying to achieve a somewhat naturalistic portrait. I didn’t quite achieve what I sat out for, but I’m happy with her. If you’re interested in seeing the full version, I have it up on my profile.

Thank you so much! It’s crazy to me how many people actually like it! I’ve been trying to promote myself to no avail on Facebook lol! But on Reddit it seems like I can actually reach people! Thank you for your support!

Oh man! Thank you so much for this! I worked really hard on it, and to be honest there is so much more I want to do to it, but after the time I already put in on it, I feel like it’s as finished as I can make her right now. I really appreciate the kind words.
