As promised, here is part 2 of the 1963 Corvette package that I started last week. This drawing is a front view, slightly elevated above eye level, which exposes the hood, tops of the fenders, and some of the interior. I don’t do many head-on views like this anymore, but this 1963 Corvette front view…

I was blessed this week to work on another commission – this time a two-piecer! The subject is a red 1963 Corvette drawing. The 1963 Corvette is famous for being the only year for the split rear window on the hard top models, but this car is a convertible with a removable hard top. Here’s…

This week for Stefan’s Sunday Sketch Challenge, we were challenged to draw a Renault 5. They’re quirky little hatches, but the turbo version is pretty cool . Here’s my Renault 5 drawing of a turbo rally version. I used this Renault 5 Turbo from Bring a Trailer as a visual guide. The Renault 5 was…

For many – I dare even say most – 2020 was a dumpster fire of a year. However, for Jessie and I, 2020 was a great year. We had a baby, I incorporated the art business, and we achieved several exciting personal goals. One of the most exciting is the improvement I’ve made on my…

Having a new baby in the house means sleep is illusive. Time seems to speed up, while the time and effort it takes to do things seems to slow down. Having the energy to really dig into projects can be difficult. Yesterday, I just needed to blow off some steam with a loose, simple drawing.…
