Dirty Car that you should see

Do you hate your dirty car? So you need washing to it. But with Scott Wade, he look at the dirty car and creates a beautiful art on it. Scott Wade he known as the "Dirty Car Artist".  His early drawings were usually funny faces; his dad was an amateur cartoonist, and Scott developed his own style of cartooning. Eventually though, he became curious; could he expand the visual vocabulary from that fat line? He started experimenting with using a fingernail to get a finer line, the pads of his fingers brushed lightly to create some shading.
