Sorry guys – no cartoon this week. For technical reasons, I have been unable to actually watch the race – and I can’t really do a cartoon from reading race reports.
A real pain this is – first F1 race I’ve missed in decades…
The rough and the smooth – The SMOOTH
Overlay of the previous drawing. Not perfect – car could be “wider”… still quite happy with the result. Total time spent on both drawings – about 1.25 hours. Reference taken from screen.
the rough and the smooth – the ROUGH
My students don’t, I think, believe me that drawings, sketches, renderings, paintings etc, need planning. So – I submit – a rough. This is typical of the work I do prior to attempting a “good” sketch. I will sometimes use this as an underlay (as I did in this case) or as a plan rough…
Rolls Royce sketch
Trying to make up for lost time… here is the original sketch – almost feels as though I’ve done a post a day for the past week now – eh???
🙂
Rolls Royce Headlamp close up (see next post)
Thought it was worth posting this too – this give you an idea of the technique I used – overlayed the sketch and simply starting layering in opaque and semi-opaque brushstrokes, using , for the most part, “hard” brushes” and the odd “soft” smudge blend (especially in the grill).
Rolls Royce Headlamp
Sketched this a while back after the British car day, and thought it was an interesting subject – so I decided to give this a “photoshop paint” … took far too long on it, but am happy with the result.
Japanese Grand Prix
Japanese GP Cartoon Preview
Hi All – I’m away for the long weekend with my family. I hope that this weekend’s race will be fascinating though I can’t help but suspect that that fascination will likely focus around 3rd, 4th or 5th place – ah well – beggars can’t be choosers.
I write this to indicate that I WILL watch the race, and as ever I will offer my interpretation of things, but it will be a tad later than usual. I will endeavour to have the cartoon printed here by Midnight, (EST) Tuesday October 15th. Hope you enjoy (enjoyed!) the race!
Austin Healey Sprite
Another sketch from this year’s British car day. This was a lovely off-white/cream 1959 bug-eye sprite.
