Some Car Sketches

Bentley 4 1/2 Litre

 I recently have been drawing some sketches of classic cars. All of these sketches are in graphite pencil on card. I wanted to achieve a slightly looser appearance than most of my other drawings. I wanted to do this to work on creating quicker, but effective drawings.

Rolls-Royce Phantom III

Reliant Scimitar

Willys MB

Triumph TR3A Rebuild Painting

I recently completed this painting of a Triumph TR3A which was being restored. The chassis is on the floor of a cramped garage with the body against a wall and the front end hanging from the inside of the garage door. I liked the artificial light and the shadows they cast and imagery of machinery. I wanted to exaggerate the straight, structured lines which have an industrial, man-made appearance, without it appearing as if everything had become outlined.

It was painted in goache on A3 card, 2011.

Some Drawings on Canson

Jaguar E-Type

As an automotive design student I have always been interested in cars, and I have been drawing cars for some time. This post is about some of the work I have done on coloured Canson using markers, pastels, gouache and coloured pencils.  I did the E-Type a couple of years ago and did the other ones here in 2011. A large amount of my recent work depicts cars as I sell drawings and take commissions through my website.

MGB GT V8

Ford Mustang

Jaguar XK120 FHC

The cars I draw are sometimes cars that people have commissioned drawings of, and sometimes cars drawn in my leisure. I used to draw many iconic cars as more people are familiar with certain models.
