Get In The Van!

A 1972 Ford Econoline panel van – with side pipes! Again, I forgot to take many progress pictures, but here’s one:

The Mystery Machine

Like, Zoiks, Scoob! A hot rod take on a classic van – The Mystery Machine was a total hippie-mobile in the cartoon, but how cool would it be as a street van? I’m continuing to explore side profile views on toned-tan paper, which is perfect for a livery as lively as The Mystery Machine. The…

Lincoln Continental, Part II

This is part II of the two-part Continental project, a 1957 Mark-2. Also on toned tan, to really push the vintagy engineering drawing-esque feel. This one started the same way, with the front wheel and measuring out 4.5 wheel widths to the rear. From there, it was just blocked in using wheel diameters, and adding…

Lincoln Continental, Part I

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…

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge

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…

The aircraft now resides at Grimes Field in Urbana, Ohio. The drawing shows the aircraft at twilight with all the lights illuminated. This drawing is done on toned tan paper using…

1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst DRAG CAR!

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…

1965 Plymouth Fury III Wagon

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…

1978 VW Westfalia

This bus is owned by my friend Derek – he fully restored it and uses it to tour the country. This project started with the intent to be a quick side-view sketch, but as I got in to it, it ended up with increasing detail. I picked toned tan paper to start on because I…

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…
