I was sitting in a Pub called the “G café” in Athens last year and we sat at a sort of “shelf” table that looked out onto the street… interestingly, the table height was about level with the sidewalk outside, so I got this great dogs eye view of this motorcycle and started to sketch.Continue reading “Triumph”

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…

Another sketch from this year’s British Car Day…

Royal Enfield
Another sketch from the Wacom tablet. Still a little shakier than I would like, and I’m still having a little trouble getting used to the parallax issue – but I’m much happier with this than the Datsun…!
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

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.
