mustang sketch

I haven't posted any art in a while. I've been busy working on some Buicks. (I might put something up on that this weekend). I do sketch nightly though even if it's just 20 minutes. I get a lot of thinking done between scribbles.

Last night I was scribbling thoughts for that contest that I don't have time to enter and I did this:

I was laying on the bed and half watching 24 so it's real real rough (excuse my imperfections, If I actually decide to draw it...I'll do better), but every piece doesn't have to be good. It's practice. Just being loose and letting the pen go where it wants to. Kinda peaceful. We draw something put it away and draw something else. Rinse and repeat.

i love it, AMAZING

i can't draw sumthing out of my head and make it look so precise yet.(even if it is a cartoon)

years before i can do that

i love this car

lol thanks SeCrEtMoDdEr ,

I'm not sure "precise" is the right word to use in this case. I've drawn many Mustangs in the past, and I did have reference folders with me. There is a lot that needs to be tweaked before this one becomes reality, but thanks for the kind words.

After this Buick thing I might redo this car and set it up as a coloring tutorial or something like that.

for a rough drawing (?), as you say, that is damn good! geez. that is great. you have a great sense of style and skill. i love that. one of the best kartoon kars i have yet seen. you make interesting choices. no. wait. that is the best kartoon kar i have ever seen.

looks good to me, what is rough about? I hope those are not flowers in the background?

yeah, lemorris, i'm afraid to see your tight stuff. daayyyuuummm.

It's not bad or anything, it's just that hindsight is 20/20 and if I go to draw this thing I'll make a few changes. One may be to incorporate some stippling on the car as opposed to just crosshatching. I don't mind the combo and I think it would help give me greater depth in certain areas on certain materials. I would also redo the "0" and maybe the letters in general. I might also lose the foliage (if that's what that is), and maybe put in some of the native plants from here in Tucson...you know cactus, and maybe some kind of animal.

I'd also fix the back tire and make the front tire larger. It's closer but it's smaller and it's not even turned.

I like the stance and the attitude a lot so overall I'm very pleased. If I redo it I'll set up a side by side thing so we can compare.

I may still put it on my site though.

if you do redo it, do put them side-by-side. that would reveal a lot to me.

Hey Lemorris.

I think it looks awesome, except it looks a little rough :)

I wish I could draw like that in 20 mins. too.

Dude! You watch 24? I love that show!!! I have seen everyone, except this season's 3 last eppisode. You did this during the finally? Shame on you http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_14_7.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001) lol, jk. Great Stang...I too do some quick drawings in bed too. takes me bout 10, but doesn't look nearly as good as yours.

PS do you loke 24 or was it just on?...

I love it!!.... :eek7:

Ahem, yes, loke...lol, that was good...I meant like...Too lazy to edit that post so I'll jus quick reply.
Shopaddict, did you see the finally? I thought it was great. I think we should stop hijack9ing the thread in a bit...

WOW that is nice!!! nice drawing,

oh yea try color.

I think we should stop hijack9ing the thread in a bit...

I agree :nono:

Anyway, lemorris thats sweet man. That scribbling behind it is killin me though. It makes it way too busy. But overall, I think its super!

:iagree:

you can't really mean its "real real rough"? It looks great, like all your others. Its a fantastic cartoon.

"Just being loose and letting the pen go where it wants to"

LOL if I did that my drawings would look like an enthusiastic 2 year olds

awesome. is that your sketch or did you copy again?

I sketched it in pencil then I ran over it with pens. I erased the pencil, and that's what I was left with.

Love the spider web wheels!

but every piece doesn't have to be good. It's practice. Just being loose and letting the pen go where it wants to. Kinda peaceful. We draw something put it away and draw something else. Rinse and repeat.
