Cars take a little longer because the initial line drawing and setting out takes much time. As with portraits one tiny thing that is wrong will make the whole thing look wrong with finished.
I print the subject on A4 paper then use proportional dividers to increase the size and to be as accurate as I can for all works.
Never use any form of paint. All works are in pastel sticks/pencils.
All limited prints of 50 are sold at £50.00 each. Collectors buy the originals from £650 - £4K depending on size & input hours.

Wow. 20 - 40 hours seems very little to a talentless goon like me!
That's the thing I find especially impressive, which partly motivated the question. Given long enough, I'm sure I could draw some passable things. I'm a great believer in practice, application and motivation getting you a long way.
However, it'd probably take me thousands of hours to get nowhere near your standards!
Do you ever do commissioned work?
