…another F1 car rendering. For this one I wanted to evoke something of the 1950’s W156 and the much earlier W154, W125s; very difficult because of the great gulf of time/technology between now and then (and the fact the older cars were front-engined). Anyway, I had a lash at it and this is the resultContinue reading “2014 Mercedes F1 concept/fantasy”

F1 Lotus Concept
Another retro/futurist photoshop bodge-job. This is based loosely on the 2013 Lotus. I altered the shape to be a little less “noisy” and altered the graphics to reflect something more of the classic Lotus 97T/98T (1985/1986). As usual, got a little carried away – this was supposed to be a bit more “painterly” (if oneContinue reading “F1 Lotus Concept”
Sketch for possible painting
I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while – I like the nature of the subject because it is a little more abstract in flavour than what I usually do, in as much as the subject is “closed up” on, showing a detail rather than the whole car and background which would be myContinue reading “Sketch for possible painting”
F1 Ferrari concept
Worked this up in Photoshop, working off a 2013 Ferrari. This would never pass today’s rules, obviously – the wheelbase has been shortened considerably, the nose dropped, the overall height of the car lowered… I suppose that this is sort of a blend between the 2013 Ferrari F138 and the 1988 Ferrari F1/88. I hadContinue reading “F1 Ferrari concept”
Sketch and Rendering for “GP Evolved”
This is a sketch and rendering that I produced for a fellow blogger who runs a site called “GP Evolved”. It is a site that documents the history of F1 in a race by race fashion, and is really worth a visit. You can visit it at gpevolved.com
Italian Grand Prix
This cartoon is a reaction to something I’ve noticed since the advent of the “public” pit to car radio… it seems to me that almost ANYTIME a race engineer gets on the blower and tells their driver that they’re on for a possibility of a win, or a podium, or to beat their rival –Continue reading “Italian Grand Prix”
Senna Sketch
This is a sketch I did back when I was in England – about 2005, I’d guess. I found it on an old hard drive – the actual sketch is long gone. You’ll notice that the quality isn’t great – for some reason, the only image I saved was 72 dpi at 450 pixels..! IContinue reading “Senna Sketch”
Mercedes W154
This is a thumbnail sketch I did today, with the intention of doing a bigger drawing – but in the end I quite liked this and decided to leave it. The drawing is about 3 inches across, so the size you see it on the screen distorts the pencil strokes a little and makes itContinue reading “Mercedes W154”
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”
Fangio Mercedes
First pencil sketch in a while – and I’ve buggered it up quite comprehensively… I think the drawing is reasonably good, but I worked on the wrong vellum and dragged the heel of my hand all over the drawing making a real mess, which needed to be cleaned up in both analog and digital formats.Continue reading “Fangio Mercedes”
