Your background sounds a lot like mine. Feel free to ask questions on techniques or materials anytime. Keep posting work!!!!!
If you're interested here are a few books and links I still look through that have helped me along the way.

Thanks for the compliments. Actually, the lotus was done after reading the third book on your list. I have several others on order, I just got that one the other day.
I am using prismacolor markers, bruynzeel colored pencils, and a generic acrylic white paint. I love this book, it looks really lame by the cover but it is really great and this drawing is quite an advance for me.
I do not tend to notice style much (more talent, accuracy) and actually this was one of the first backrounds I have put on a rendering. I just started doing shadows not long ago. So no, I wasn't influenced by anyone on here, actually I was more than 60% done with it when I signed up here.
I am a member on CDN, and will be checking out Roadsters.
I'm kind of discouraged on the whole car design deal, I think I have the ideation, but lack the formal training and ability to make it as pretty as many others, so I can't get real work. I've offered to do work for free, and nothing. I'll have to redo some of my concept ideas and post them, like I have one for a Chevy sports hatch that looks really cool, and a new DeTomaso Pantera that if I can get a rendering to come out nice enough I want to send to the factory as a proposal. I think that's the next one I am going to do with the markers.
