Wow, that's a great paintjob! These windows are amazing. I'd be interested to know how you achieved this effect.

Cheers guys! :) I'm afraid there's no real trick to it. There is a few tips I can give though. 1.Make sure you use reference materials as a guide. I found this pic of a New York taxi I used and copied that. ....



....2. I've put a couple of dark glazes along the bottom half of the windows. 3.Put a pure white dot to the top right of the screen. I do the same when I paint gems/lights. 4. I think framing it all in black helps too.

Thanks very much for the nice comments gents!! :D

+1, they are outstanding (as usual, Andy)! Do you draw it with pencil and then paint it?
