American Airlines Jets

Happy Father’s day, Josh! These jets are for my best friend growing up and best man at my wedding, Josh. He is an engineer at AA and his awesome wife Caitlin asked if I could do a 757 & 767. I started these a little differently than I typically would – these were roughed in…

Happy Father’s Day!

This one is for the most selfless man I know, my step dad Charlie. Our family is a group of bourbon connoisseurs, so here is a bottle from Michigan’s Journeyman Distillery. I started off roughing in the basic shapes using a straight edge, ellipses and french curves in #2 mechanical pencil. Next, filled in some…

Square Body BURB

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…

Concept Doodle

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…

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…

1970 Trans Am Marker Drawing

This 1970 T/A drawing is a commission piece, drawn in front of the owner’s house. The house is actually my favorite part of the piece – the brick work alone took about two hours but really paid off. The drawing was started with #2 pencil, roughed in: Then the house was filled in with Copic…

1966 GTO Marker Drawing

Black is always an adventure – as I’ve said before, black acts like a mirror and simply reflects whatever is nearby. This black 1966 GTO Tri-Power is a commission piece, and turned out pretty well. I started by sketching out the car with mechanical pencil, and slowly filling in the shades with cool grays, going…

Sci-Fi Ships

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything – been very busy with work and a few commissions, but I thought I’d share something I tried out last week just for fun. This is a collection of science fiction ship designs that just came out of my creative muscle. I think the bottom one is cool…
