Merry Christmas! As we prepare to celebrate the coming of the King, I sketched this little scene by recycling the pine tree experiment I did a few weeks ago. Here’s my Christmas sketch. I started with the pine tree that I trialed before drawing the Christmas Tree Truck, and just added a few extras. There’s…

I have this old red 2003 Mustang – it’s the car I drove to high school and college. Right now, it sits in the garage, and it’s my “some day” car. Some day, I’ll get around to doing something with it and drive it. For now, I thought It would be fun to do this…

It’s no secret that one of my absolute favorite post-war cars is the Hudson – Hornet, and all similar trims. It was such a revolutionary vehicle – one of the first unibody full size cars you could step down in, high powered “Twin H-Power” six cylinder, and a sleek streamliner design. One of the coolest…

This week, an American pioneer and hero passed away. Chuck Yeager, the Air Force pilot who first crossed the sound barrier in his Bell X-1 experimental aircraft, passed away at the age of 97. I’m a pretty big aircraft fan, and to honor Captain Yeager, I chose to make this Chuck Yeager Bell X-1 drawing.…

I love this time of year – there are so many nostalgic things that remind me of the carefree excitement of my childhood Christmases. Among them are the classic claymation Christmas specials like Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town with Fred Astaire. We were watching it this week and I thought S.D. Kluger’s Model T…

Happy Thanksgiving! This year, for Thanksgiving I thought I’d make this little pie rod drawing. Based on an early ’30s Ford sedan delivery, I chopped the top, removed the fenders, and put a blown small block Chevy up front. I started by roughing out the car with pencil on toned gray Strathmore paper. Next, I…
