Bruce Thomson sketch – Caught in my headlights

Fiat 500, Rome

I’m a little late getting around to this sketch. This was a car I saw when I was visiting Rome last year, and it amazed me. The reason for my amazement was that it was an exceedingly beat up example that was obviously still in regular use. Where I live (in Toronto, Canada) one typicallyContinue reading “Fiat 500, Rome”

Lagonda

A quick sketch of a Lagonda – again – from British Car Day…

E Type Detail, British Car Day 2014

Another sketch from this year’s British Car Day…

The rough and the smooth – The SMOOTH

Overlay of the previous drawing. Not perfect – car could be “wider”… still quite happy with the result. Total time spent on both drawings – about 1.25 hours. Reference taken from screen.

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…”
