i sure you've already heard his name: Chip foose. I think he's the best car-artist ever.
here is his page>>>>>Click Here<<<<< (http://www.wallesdator.com/Foose%20design/Foose%20design%20main.htm)
he does his drawing in like 5 mins. Really i would like to draw like that.

Oh wow that is some good art. :iceslolan
Thx for sharing

Ooops I take that back. There is no art on his site except that first page logo and 3 builds. Oh well. Those look awesome but....no art, just real builds. :dunno:

How do you know he/they spend 5 mins on rendering? I didn't see it anywhere.

I wish I could see some of those other renderings on the home page.

I saw him on a show called >>RIDES<< (http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/rides/rides.html) it plays tonight at 9:00 at tlc

he is not always there he was there in 2 episodes
http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/rides/episode/episode_04.html
and iam not sure of the other...
oh yea its the v8 in a lexus i think

I will vouch for Chip Foose's Rendering skills, he really that good! They have done a couple of specials on him on The Learning Channel, and Discovery I think. He basically uses markers and broad controlled strokes with his arm to do quick renderings. He rendered a lexus gs 400? for the head honcho at lexus in no time at all while speaking to him, to show the design for the new one they were going to modify. I mean he did not even break the conversation, it was just too easy I guess.

i think we could all learn something from foose....

good renderings dont always take forever... even though the average person might take a couple of days to make somthing amazing... people who rush through to make somethin rough (like me) make well... rough renderings....

foose is a master of both great renderings in no time at all....

i dunno about the best ever...but hes pretty darn good

tell me a better one for time/quality

I dunno, five mins that's kinda iffy...

well, if your gonna judge an artist based on how well he can draw in an alotted time frame, then ya, i guess he is the best 5-minute car artist...but as for overall skill, i dont know if it is fair to say that he is the best car-artist in history., especially since there have been so many truly amazing artists.

Anyone see the art done in the Ferrari Enzo forums, High Res photos of rare cars thread? That F40 is gooood!

Oh Wow that is very nice. :iceslolan Thx for sharing that.
Ok IC you saw him on TV. I like his style a lot. Those design guys draw very fast. I saw Thom Taylor on TV once too and he did the same thing, rendering while talking to the customer.

I wonder if they start out w/ a nice line drawing first and then just do most of the coloring in front of the customer?

that guy is awesome, but as far as rendering a good design in a short amount of time is concerned, it's not that difficult. I'm not saying that I'm that good, but it only takes me 10-15 minuits to complete a render. When I was younger I would sit down and trace over every car drawing I came in contact with like 10 times. Now the overall "flow" of a car is etched in my brain.

yeah, I saw the epidode of rides with the IS430. I remember him rendering a drawing, but it looked like he had it all outlined before he got there. I saw the real car at the Chicago auto show a few weeks ago. It looks great.

The amazing thing is - these are not only drawings, these are actually blueprints for how they build the rides.

Fabricator and artist are technically the same thing idiot. They are just using different mediums.

Dammit Steve, expand your horizon. Oh wait, its vertical so it cant expand. :evillol:

*you know Im just messing with you, but it is the truth (fabrication is an art).

I have fabricated numerous parts with real cars. So why the hell not build the whole damn thing just 1/6scale. Metal working is an art. Just like scuplting. Its not as easy as it looks either.
