Jaguar Drawings

XK120

 I was commissioned last summer to do a series of drawings for a classic Jaguar showroom close to where I live. The company has quite a few E-Types and XK120s in their showroom, and also restore classic Jaguars. They wanted 4 drawings: one of 2 E-Types, one of 2 XK120s, one of a D-Type and XKSS, and one of a C-Type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D-Type & XKSS

E-Type

 These are by far the biggest drawings I have ever done.. they are more than 130cm across and around 85cm high. I drew them on card, which came as a 10m roll, using markers, pastels, gouache, pencils and fineliners.
The C-Type drawing did get finished, but I have not currently got a good quality photo.

BMW 2002 Turbo

My latest drawing is of a BMW 2002 Turbo. It is done in markers, pastels, pencils and gouache on A3 paper. I finished it today. I took photos, showing the progression as I was doing it so I will also upload them soon.

I find rendering white cars very difficult so I am happy with this attempt.

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.
