Slow day at work, so .....

I kept myself busy with some CARtoons. I didn't have any reference photos so nothings exact. Let me know what you guys think.

Hello Elroyj25,

Those toons are very nice.

What do you use to draw them?

I like the van w/ the duel carbs. :iceslolan

alf

Very nice i might say!

I sketch them out with a colored pencil and I ink them with a Design marker and a Kopek marker. They're both markers that I use at work for caricatures. The design marker has the LH tip and the Kopek is dual tip with a brush and a block tip. I've got the day off today so I may color them in the computer. If so I'll post those aswell.

Thanks for the comments guys. Keep em' comin'.

cool man.. like the volks tthe best but theyr all good. what is ur profession? it sounds like ur a cartoonist because u said u use the markers for charitures.. we did those ( of people in 7th grade) =)

I work as a caricature and airbrush supervisor at Busch Gardens in both williamsburg, VA and Tampa, FL. Presently I'm down in Tampa.

Thx for the reply.

Wow, you have a cool job :)

Really?!?!? you would have fooled me!

is it one of those wagons you carry dead bodies in? :evillol:

duuuude!!! please color the van!!! im sooo excited to see it.

tight works

what pc progam did u color the hot rod toon on?

I used photoshop. I just picked up a copy of Painter8 and I wanna give that a try. We'll see how it goes.

thats wicked man

man they are sweet, i wish i could draw like that. i reckon that i need to get real, accurate cars first and then try caricatures...is that wot u did?

i wish i had your job

Actually, no...I don't make much of a habit of drawing "realistic" cars. While I respect those that do it well, it's the same idea that while I'm trained in portraits as well as caricatures I try to stick to doing caricatures at work. It's just more interesting to me. The idea of exaggerating the image while retaining a strong likness is cool. So i'd say just practice what you like. It's not really a need one to do the other, they're quite different beasts if you will. If you have any Q's on it I'll try and answer to the best of my ability.

i wish i had your job

Yeah it's a pretty cool gig, that can really help a persons art. If you have a theme park near ya, then ya might be able to get it.

i would looooooovvee the orange bus man, loooove i tell you. that would be awesome.
holla
