Just half a week left! Here are this past week’s submissions. Day 21 – “Treasure” The 1968 Camaro from the original 1995 Treasure Hunt is considered the “Holy Grail” of Hot Wheels cars. If you can find one, they usually sell for well over $1,000. Day 22 – “Ghost” The car from “The Wraith” starring…

Man, making a sketch each day is kicking my butt – finding the time is tough. Here’s this past week’s postings: Day #13 – “Ash” For this one, I thought I’d draw the Oldsmobile that Ash drives in the Evil Dead – this car was director Sam Raimi’s high school car and it shows up…

Today’s Inktober prompt is “Misfit,” which makes me think of a very unconventional race car, Herbie the Love Bug. I chose to make this drawing on Toned Tan paper to get the white reflections and side numbers to pop. I started with just pencil outlines and filled it in with Copic markers. I really like…

We went down to Urbana, Ohio this weekend for my grandmother’s funeral. One thing that makes difficult times bearable is being with friends and family. While we were there, I had a chance to hang some new drawings at Teabaggers, among friends and family. When I was growing up in Urbana, my family went to…

Tony Stark’s hot rod from the first Iron Man film was actually owned by the director (who also played Happy), Jon Favreau. It’s the quintessential hot rod, a ’32 Ford. This drawing was different in that the rear wheels are 25% larger than the fronts, so getting proportions in terms of “number of wheels” required…

Tiny square body – brown, of course – on tan paper. I think this is my favorite perspective – 3/4 front looking up at the vehicle from the ground. It gives the impression that the truck is big and tall. You can see the two-point perspective lines trailing off to the right and left. I…
