Hi Nathan, great job on the truck! Just a couple of suggestions... Maybe I'm wrong with how low they sit, but it looks like it's only got about an inch clearance below the front bumper. I'd like to see a little more thickness to the tires where they meet the pavement.

Also, you might want to add a little more shading under the truck so it appears more grounded.

I find the checkered glass block? window on the building, competing with your truck for a focal point. Maybe lighten the black in the windows up a little. That will help it blend more into the background, putting the attention all on the truck. I like the comp in this, and overall it looks great. Ann

I really like the "feel" of this piece.. I get a sense of an era. Overall, good job; but I do agree with Ann about the clearance and under-shading bit. I like how clean you kept everything. I know Ann mentioned something about the window.. I think you could either lighten it or let it remain the same. I'm a big fan of contrast, and the window brings it in; you have basically three "fields" of texture here-- the light-colored curve of the sign, the jagged light-grey paint on the truck, and the rigged grid of the window; It all gives it, to me, a sense of rhythm. Nice work.
