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…

I don’t know about you, but I am JACKED about the trailer for the movie Ford V Ferrari coming out this November. To commemorate the Ford GT40, I made this tiny sketch of a MK1…yes, I know the LeMans winning car was an MKii and none of the three cars wore Gulf Livery, but it…

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…

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…

Here’s a quick boat sketch I made yesterday for a coworker. This sketch was first roughed out with Natural Gray N0 copic marker. XS Faber Castell pen was used to do the line work, and various Copic blues, grays, and greens were used to finish it out. Interestingly, Bronze BG78 was used for the water,…

I’m finding that sketching and art takes you to all sorts of interesting places outside of the core subject matter you focus on. In this case, I’ve connected with a client that does hard milling and has interest in some art of his machines. So…I sketched out this Makino V56 for him to hang on…
