As you can tell, I’ve really been into 1950’s hot rods lately, and to continue on with that theme, here’s a 1950 Olds 88 marker drawing – in hot rod style. I don’t know if I was just really not feeling it yesterday or what, but it took me a solid three tries to get…

Gassers are cool. I drew this 1956 Ford Fairlane drawing gasser to honor my Mamaw’s birthday yesterday. ’56 was only the second year of the Fairlane! She had a ’56 Ford back when they were regular transportation, though I have suspicions about whether her’s could do a wheelie. I created this 1956 Ford Fairlane drawing…

I wanted to try a new technique out using only a Micron brush pen, so I sketched out this Tiny Brush Pen Cuda. Brush pens are interesting because they change width based on the pressure applied. So, instead of using different size pens for different tasks, a single brush pen will do the same job,…

My friend Dan owns a sweet ’68 California Special in Tahoe Turquoise, so here’s a sweet Mustang GT/CS marker sketch! Sketched out on toned tan paper, I started with Micron pen – 005 & 03 weights – from this low horizon perspective. From there, I used light blue and Ice Ocean Copic markers for the…

Those who know me know how much of a Mustang fan I am (I have two!). Here is a Shelby GT350R marker sketch using the Copic Wide markers for background aesthetic. First, I sketched the car out using pencil. The perspective on this sketch offers a little more of a challenge. On most drawings, I…

I recently picked up some Copic Wide cool gray makers that I thought would be cool for doing some background stuff. Here’s my first shot, on an old Ford Coupe, similar to what you might find at The Race of Gentlemen. Here’s the rough sketch, just using pencil on printer paper. Then moving to line…

Yesterday, I made this Hupmobile Classic Car Drawing. Prior to WWII, the US was over-saturated with hundreds of car companies – most of which are now defunct. One was the Hupp Motor Company, which made the reasonably well-known Hupmobile. The Hupmobile changed shapes dramatically over its 30-year run. The mid-30s version, the Hupmobile Aero, was…

I saw this sweet Cougar in an old Hot Rod Magazine from 2011 that featured Mercury race cars in an article right after Ford closed Mercury down. I started this one off as a very rough pencil sketch, and rather than re-lining the drawing with ink, I just went straight off to markers. I used…

Now for something completely different – muscle cars and hot rods are usually more my thing, but an early ’60s Impala lowrider will get me. It’s not too obnoxious – it’s got a reasonably subtle paint job and five-spoke wheels. It’s chopped – VERY chopped – and very dropped. The line drawing is available for…
