Car drawings

[dxm8975]

A old scratchy doodle of a Ferrari 599 I did like 7 years ago when I was still a junior high-school student, not having drawn an automobile for years already so I'd be at a loss for the clues about how to draw them which is completely different from human portraits.

Quickly threw this sketch together (unfinished, as is the norm from me).

I call it the 'Mercedes F1-LM'

I think Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg should pilot it at Le Mans 24hr (team building exercise)

The headlamps of the car slightly resemble these of Enzo Ferrari, but looks pretty cool in its way in my opinion.

I knowiI

I know it's been forever and I'm still not done but I've been busy. Lol.

I want to try and keep this thread alive. I enjoy seeing other peoples' work.

So, with the ongoing draw a character weekly challenge at the anime thread, I've started to scan car stuff again along with the charater thing. Sorry if some of these are reposts, I truly don't remember what I've posted here and what I haven't, and I don't have the time to go trough the thread to find out so you'll have to eat it. To (re)start off:

I had a look at your Flickr stuff the other day. There's loads of awesome drawings there that iv'e never seen before.

How dare you not post them here!

👍

Ah, yes, I migrated the stuff from crap-o-bucket to Flickr recently. I'll post/repost them in due time.

Also, don't talk me about daring! I specifically asked you to tag me whenever the heck you posted something. And not. A single. Darned. Time.

 

[Nessy]

Sorry.

I won't forget next time. 👍

 

[Cano]

I really don't remember if I've posted this before here. This will happen again several times. All ballpen, no previous pencil sketch, no reference. Pretty old too.

 

[Nessy]

Awesome sketch as usual @Cano . 👍

I knew what it was straight away (69 Camaro), and to get it that good without reference and straight in with the pen, is pure skill.

*Thread now added to watch list.. can't believe i hadn't added it before now *

Thanks dude. There are a handful of car that I know well enough to be able to draw them by memory and almost nail them right in the head, and they obviously are a recurring subject of mine. The 69 Camaro is one of them.

However, today's thing I have drawn only once, and also by total memory. It more or less looks like one, so I'm happy. Specially because this is old. But old-OLD, like 15 years old. Abandoned bullet-nose Studebaker, circa 2000.

The contrast is way too high thanks to the camera app I used. This is my own car, a 1999 Mazda 626 GW 2.0 DITD. In real life it is silver. The rims are 'Radius 3' from the Mazda 6 GG/GY.

Here is the original photo that I drew from.

I can say that precision, and pencil hardness are important to copy specific shading from a picture.

But my technique is to take shading a portion at a time.

So I'll pick a section and stick with it, like this...

Excuse the terrible lighting, but I began shading the bottom of the front bumper first then I moved upwards and back gradually, like this...

You have to have finesse, and take time to adjust the sharpness of your pencil to the shade you need for the best result.

I'm not great at shading from scratch, I'm only good at mimicking from an actual picture.

Did this one a few years ago with the intention of colouring in Photoshop, but that hasn't happened. Feel free to try.

Nice! Love the Panasports!

Ah, it's awesome that they are recognizable as indeed 3-piece Panasports (I don't remember their name now), it's one of the few times I've tried to draw them 👍

Have a '46 Ford Business street freak to counteract the Miata cuteness:

All pen, no reference, and one of the very very few times I've nailed a '46 Ford.

Getting into drawing cars with a tablet in Photoshop. Here's some design sketches from 1900. Proportions are not quite right but it was good practice.

Wow they had photoshop in 1900?

They look good, a great practise attempt 👍

Yes.

 

[R5]

Yes.

I should really have saw that one coming

Ah, dude, these are awesome! 👍

Also, have an original-design thingamabob:

That is what the C3 Corvette should have looked more like.

Complete with fender mirrors. Ohyeh.

Double post because yet another weird thing that popped outta my head:

An odd Porsche-esque VW roadster thingy

I love that. 👍 It vaguely reminds me of an old silver Tonka car i had when i was younger, (probably around 1/43 scale). It was a cool looking fantasy car. I wish i still had it. Awesome sketches as always man. 👍



I did this a short while back, for another GTP member. It was really hard to make sense of, and i guess a bit of it was open to interpretation. Some of it doesn't sit easy with me but i did my best i suppose..

Original sketches the GTP member gave me to work off:

And what i managed to come up with:





I'm not 100% pleased with it and it was quite rushed (took about 5 hrs), though in fairness the guy gave me more than enough time to do it (several months infact), i just couldn't motivate myself to do it..

 

[Cano]

That is awesome Doc, you really managed to translate the rough sketch to a possible true form. I love the mirrors and triangle door handles... and the wheels as usual are dynamite.

Thanks man. 👍

TBH i was more pleased with the slight overhaul of the logo:

This is a model the guy did of the same car, a good while after i was shown the initial sketches. I didn't incorporate any of the design elements of this though. Thought i'd just stick to the original sketches.

 

[Cano]

The one you rendered looks a lot less generic than this one 👍

 

[Nessy]

That's the exact reason i gave to the guy, why i didn't use the model as reference.

I think the model was done in a game called Automation, which in itself seems quite limited to what can be done (design wise).

Did this yesterday on a whim:

 

[Nessy]

Truly awesome. 👍

Bel Air?
