“Coloured paper” is in quotes – as this is entirely digital. This is an old Industrial Design rendering technique I teach my students (for “real” examples of this see my website under “renderings”). It’s a tricky one to learn and hard to do correctly – however, it works amazingly in the digital format. Essentially youContinue reading “300SL – “Coloured Paper” Rendering”

Polski Fiat (Colour)
A rather “too careful” colour rendition of the earlier Polski Fiat sketch.
Fiat Mephistopheles
Monstrous car. Overworked sketch, too… ah well – Happy Canada Day!
Messerschmitt K175
…I’ll bet you that if McDonnell Douglas ever built a car, it won’t be this cute… another Messerschmitt tomorrow, but this time a plane…
TR6 Concept (TR9?)
A quick sketch of a car I’d like to see updated… I’m pretty sure that this was one of the cars upon which the Miata (Mazda MX5) was based – but, although I love the Miata, it lacks the hairy chested brutishness of the TR6… and thus, this offering…
D-Type Photoshop, in progress
Thought I’d update the sketch I did earlier this week. The sketch was imported into photoshop and I began rendering – one of the toughest things to do is to determine and limit your colour palette, I wanted this to be primarily green/blue with some minimal beige and indian red to warm it up. PlayingContinue reading “D-Type Photoshop, in progress”
Jaguar D-Type
Ahhhhh – one of the most beautiful of cars…This is an overlay of an overlay. I sketched this from an internet reference (lacking a D-Type of my own 😦 ) and traced the “successful” result onto vellum. I’m hoping to get time to do a proper digital painting of this…
Bentley Speed Six
The inspiration for yesterday’s sketch, this is a blower Bentley, or “Speed Six” – these won the 24 hours of Le mans in 1929 and 1930.
Concept Retro-racer
Not really sure what this is, except for me having a little fun. Loosely – VERY loosely based upon the Bentley Speed Six…
Fangio, Maserati
Juan manuel Fangio driving the legendary Maserati 250F. Astonishingly, different versions of this car competed in F1 from 1954 to 1960… 7 years – most cars today last (as distinct “designs, or iterations) for about 3 races… how times have changed. Fangio won 2 championships with this car – but this comes with an hugeContinue reading “Fangio, Maserati”
