More congratulations due Robert Wickens for his win in race one at Zandvoort. A little late – as you may be aware I’ve been on holiday and only saw the race yesterday, so again – better late than never! Keep it up Rob!
Quick Sketch…
A very quick sketch of the unlikely – a Jaguar Mk II with a Hawker Harrier behind it. Only at Brooklands… 🙂
View from The Old Post House
This is the only sketch I managed to finish while in the UK – have had a very busy but wonderful time. This is the view from the back yard of our bed and breakfast, “The Old Post House” in lovely Great Wishford, Wiltshire. Will post more sketches when we get home.
Rubbish Rendering 2
This I knocked out in half the time – practice makes perfect? It had been a while since I’d done this and this second image (to my mind) turned out way better. The previous (colourful) one took me about 4 hours. This took me about 1.5. Go figure. Which do you like better?
Rubbish rendering 1
This is the photoshop rendering I did for my rendering class. Shock! Horror! It’s crap. Oh well. It’s been a while since I rendered in photoshop and this shows it. I threw the kitchen sink at this when I realized it wasn’t working… “sigh”
Mustang at Street Classics Cruise Night
Went to the Cruise Night at the Canadian Tire on the Queensway last Saturday – lots of interesting stuff there. Most of the cars were American though there was another Alfa, a couple of Jags, an MG and a Mini and a Mercedes 560SL… A good evening. Met one of my students there and he educated me on all the 50s and 60s American metal. 🙂
Another Sketch Concept
Another concept sketch – this one is going to be scanned in and taken through a photoshop render in the class I’m teaching tomorrow. Will post the finished result when it’s done…
Fiat Spider in progress
Another sketch from the garage where my Alfa had its bodywork done. I got the car back last week, and they guys did a beautiful job on the dent and gave the car a clay bar treatment which really brought up the look of the pain beautifully.
And it’s sunny out – I’m off for a drive… 🙂
Another Great Weekend for Wickens
Robert Wickens had a great time at the Lausitzring last weekend, finishing third in both races and vaulting to the top of the DTM championship in the process.  Congratulations Robert!
Sorry this is a bit late – only saw the races on Wednesday. Better late than never though – eh?
Rendering Practice
A quick side view and some renders of same – did these for some of my students who are interested in doing a little early summer sketching practice – they’ve been tasked with the same thing. Next up? Front three quarter views… much more challenging.
