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.
Austin Healey Sprite
Another sketch from this year’s British car day. This was a lovely off-white/cream 1959 bug-eye sprite.

E Type Interior
Another sketch from “British Car Day” – or “How to spend an entire evening on a drawing you meant to take 20 minutes, while single-handedly contributing to an ink shortage in your area…”
Lotus 23
…drew this from a photo I took at the British Car Day in Bronte Provincial Park this past Sunday – don’t know that I have ever seen a car so “low”- if you lose the roll bar it’s only slightly above knee height… amazing.
E Type Sketch
This is a sketch I’ve taken quite a long time on – I want to do a large scale painting of this, and this is part of the preparation (taking a break from F1 cars for a bit, when I’ve finished my current piece). The sketch is based on three separate images. The spokes areContinue reading “E Type Sketch”
Autobianchi Bianchina
This is a car that I was only peripherally aware of but was reminded of recently when I watched the Peter O’Toole, Audrey Hepburn movie “How to steal a million”… in it you get to see O’toole tooling (sorry) around Paris in an E Type and Hepburn burning (sorry) around in a Bianchina convertible. Lovely.
