Mercedes 540K

Mercedes 540K

Lovely car, this. I did the initial sketch, but felt, somehow, that the “roughness” of the sketch didn’t flatter the car… so what you see beneath is a “toned” photoshopped version of the sketch which I think adds a little “elegance”. These cars boasted 180 hp, and, much as I want one, I think it unlikely I’ll ever get one – only 25 of this type were ever made…

Used to do these for Autosport years ago. Figured I start them up again for this blog.

Jaguar Concept Sketch

Jaguar Concept Sketch

A pen sketch that I did envisioning what I’d like to see from a new Jaguar Coupé – this is ballpoint pen that has been taken through photoshop for some tone.

Love the look of these cars, but they’re tricky to draw – even in side view! This is a little over-photoshopped, mostly in deference to the fact that the sketch was very light and my scanner at home isn’t great… so it’s taken some “adjustment”.

Ferrari 312 T3

I was very fortunate to visit Nick Mason’s car collection in the Cotswolds back in 2006. An amazing collection of cars including this, Gilles Villeneuve’s 312 T3 from 1978. Sketched from a photo I took at the time.

Ferrari 512S

Ferrari 512S

A sketch of the Ferrari 512S as raced at le mans in 1970 – this is the Derek Bell/Ronnie Peterson SpA SEFAC Ferrari, which only made it to lap 39… Sketch is 10.5″ x 6.5″.

Sebastian Vettel, 2010 Red Bull

A sketch I did as prep for a possible painting. In the end, I never did the painting – this sort of perspective is tricky, and I was concerned that in spite of it being an interesting “viewpoint” that ultimately, the painting might have an “uncomfortable” appearance…

A Norton Dominator that has received a little “café” treatment – small pencil sketch – about 4″ x 7″.
