This is part 1 of a 2-part set that was just commissioned – I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with toned tan paper, and these were to be profile views, so I thought the toned tan would give it a good engineering drawing / vintage feel. This is a 1963 Continental 4-door (suicide…

A friend asked if I could draw the ’69 Judge, which is his favorite car. I prefer the ’70 with the Endura-bumpers, but the ’69 is definitely more iconic. Toned tan paper was selected for this one – Usually these cars are seen in orange, so I thought it would be fun to draw in…

Sticking with the toned tan theme… I love the brickiness of the ’69-71 Chrysler 300 – it’s such a huge land barge – and the idea of making a drag car out of one sounds excellent. This one was roughed in with pencil, again like the others, but I jumped straight to white charcoal prior…

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the toned tan paper lately. I’m a sucker for wagons, especially the very square, sharp edge wagons of the mid-sixties. Among them is the Fury III which looks great in all body styles, especially wagon. Like the bus, this one started off as a pencil sketch using…

I love square bodies. Here’s an elevation view of a square body Suburban on really big smoothies. Also, a mohawk. I started off with a simple line sketch in pencil, starting with the wheels. From there, I measured out the distances around the truck and filled in the shades with Copic markers, finishing off the…

What happened to finned cars? Imagine how great automotive design would be if we reincorporated some character back into our cars. Anyway, here’s one I played around with the other day. The fins are very batman-esque. I added some sky blue into the wheels and windows. I started by roughing out the general shape with…

Special Delivery! I was very excited to deliver the 1970 Trans Am drawing to Corey this weekend. He was excited, too – we went over the details together – checking out the bricks and stone work on the house and the shadowing on the Firebird. It’s a lot of fun to see someone else have…

May is my one-year anniversary of making marker sketches – I started in May of 2018 with an old Toyota Corolla and some cheap Artist Loft grays. I had been planning for awhile to do a one-year anniversary comparison of the same car to show off how I’ve improved, change in techniques, how I’ve started…
