Here's a random doodle I did today.
The time is a few years beyond 1960 (During 1960, the Beatniks were still around) and several hippie animals who presently live in the van are admiring the artwork paintings a friend had decorated the van with for them...Though the artwork is rather crude, everyone still seems to be cool with it.
________________________________________________________________

Besides this being a random doodle, there was also an inspiration behind it, with a bit of a rant in mind.
...To start with, how many of you all have completed and posted a drawing, then later discovered several bloopers in it that you as the artist were displeased with?...That happens to me a lot, which is why I have often re-posted existing submissions with corrections made to them...I've re-posted corrected versions of my recent fuel truck drawings for that reason...Found several bloopers.

Some of of those bloopers often get discovered in submissions such as;
An item in the drawing drawn to big or too small.
A pose on a character that didn't quite look natural (like the character had a broken leg).
A part of an object looking like it is turned sideways, such as on a car, truck, plane, etc.
Something out of proportion.
Perspective being off...or way off.
Or something you drew you've found out didn't yet exist in the time era you are depicting.

As an expression of thought regarding this scenario, when ever that happens with me, it makes me feel like an element of "Hippie Volkswagen Van Art" (like depicted on the Volkswagen van in this posting) somehow crept it's way into my drawing only for me to discover it after I had posted it...Which does tend to irritate me until I get those "Hippie Volkswagen Van Art" bloopers corrected out of my drawings.

I guess I'm particular about getting things just right in my artwork...But hey, I guess that's a good thing.

When I get some spare time, I might add a pic with the hippie animals characters in it.

In Pic # 3...I've recreated the blooper with the steering wheel I found in the fuel truck drawing just in time before I would have posted it...The several other bloopers I had fixed, though not immediately noticeable, were to me bad enough.

The door windows being lower than the windshield was not a blooper by the way...On a 1957 GMC big truck, they actually are that way.

You all having that same kind of tag is quite a coincidence.

as a gerymuzzle who grew up in the 1960's who lived next door to a 'Hippie commune'  (who missed out on going to Woodstock because the hippies left an hour early but that is another story) i saw plenty of these hippie vans and converted school buses,  as to errors in artwork.... Remember You are NOT rendering "Photo-realistic" artwork.  a reference piece helps for accuracy but id "you forgot to draw the break lines on the trailer"  or "the mirrors are too big" or "you missed the running lights along the side of the truck..."

So what? it is an ARTISTIC IMPRESSION NOT A POT-REALISTIC RENDERING!  i get that you want to render as realistic an image  as your skills will allow (for some photo realism is the ultimate goal of their art.) but be happy with what you draw! and know that with each drawing, your skills are improving try finding better reference images if the small details are important look to engineering or repair manuals they show you in exacting details where everything is in exploded detail how it all fits together.
an example of this was me trying to draw a "star lily" from memory. i thought it came out "okay" then I looked up a reference and drew from that and the difference is quite notable. i posted it as "With and without as an example here: https://inkbunny.net/s/1604978

I was hyper critical of my own artwork for Years going so far as to shred perfectly good drawing that i didn't like because i would comparer them to the top artists in the fandom. Here as an example is one of the First ZIGZAG drawings Max Blkackrabbit Drew https://inkbunny.net/s/245105 (I keep this around to remind me that knowing where he is NOW he was once at this level)  i scan it and keep it so i can see how far i have come in my development as an artiest. each drawing is a step along the path Only compare Yourself to Yourself: to see ho you are improving. and you ARE!
keep it going my friend

@ GreenFur

Actually for small details, I have images and photos, and sometimes a scale model in which I study the details then draw what I see.

was out of time to edit but here is a little HISTORY LESSON FOR YOU:
"Windo Payne" was 'Blotter acid' or LSD applied to blotter paper and dried in sheets of window glass and cut into small squares. as a kid growing up next to a hippie commune, you learn all sorts of interesting things from back in the day.) not just about music or growing a garden which my folks had to teach these stupid hippies or they would have starved to death. you don't move out to the country with no knowledge of gardening. but my folks were what i liked to call "hippie friendly" and passed on some useful information so I as a young kid got to hang out at the commune and learn some interesting things from these college drop-outs.

@ GreenFur

I appreciate your input. Thank you.

The one advantage I do have when it comes to being particular about my artwork is that I draw digitally...Thus making corrections is very easy to do, unlike on paper that shows traces of what can't be erased completely before it was changed.
Back before I began using a drawing tablet, if I wasn't completely satisfied with how something turned out, I had to just be happy with it the way it was.

I have done drawings before that basically started out conventional drawn, then I'd finish the details digitally (mixed media). Some drawings are where I used a copy of one of my scenery photos as either a background or a scene looking outside a window.
The drawing of the fuel truck started out as a photo I took in New Mexico in 2013. The original photo didn't have a road, route sign or vehicles until I digitally added them.

Speaking about the 4 way window pane, I first heard about that from a fellow co-worker at a landscaping company I worked for in 1973. He was a surfer. And he told me of a story when he and a fellow surfer friend of his lived on the east coast.
One evening he and his friend were walking the beach after they had been surfing that day. When it was getting dark, they decided to go half on a 4 way window pane..."Decided to get brave and go double dose", as he worded it.
When they were tripping, they saw this big orange thing way out over the ocean that was bobbing and dancing about, and they couldn't figure out what it was.
They finally met an old man walking the beach and asked him. "Sir. We were watching that orange thing out there and don't know what it is. Have you heard anything about?".
The old man replied, "What's wrong with you idiots? That's the moon".
