Bruce Thomson's Sketches
Thought I’d take a break from cars… lovely piece of design this.
A bit naughty of me – have been distracted by some basement renovation “excitement” that has sidetracked me, and so I am recycling a sketch that I did in the Town Square of Frankfurt last spring. An American Bloke was so fascinated by the fact that I was sketching on a pub patio that he stood me 2 beers. Lesson? Always carry your sketchbook… 🙂
As Promised (though a day late) another Messerschmitt… (a 109) it’s a quick sketch and the discriminating amongst you will complain about the elipse of the rear wheel as compared to the tail-plane… My bad. First plane I’ve sketched in a while – good fun!
Hard to believe that it’s been 19 years…
I know I’d promised a Messerschmitt today, but I’d forgotten the date. Tomorrow.
…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…
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…
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. Playing with some new brushes, as well. This is all done with my mouse, as I have yet to upgrade to the more popular tablet…
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 it seem a bit messy. Still, I like the simple graphic sensibility of it.
