48 Buick car#2

Here's the preline drawing of the 48 Buick for that same stupid Buick thing I'm doin. (kidding). I'm going to transfer this at least one more time maybe twice before I transfer it to my inking paper and start the inking process.

I'm still indicating shapes and seeing how I want it to flow. I want it to look like it belongs with the other 2 cars in the design so I'm trying to use some of the same techniques and style-bits.

In the next transfer I'll really start to simplify some shapes and define the car overall. I like the broken line look and I know the car sits back so being more graphic is a plus in this case.

Here it is:

Here's a detail so you can see how the shapes help define the objects.

Looks real nice!

Man, There is no limit to the creativeness (word?) you've got is there... WOW

Looking good

nice, i like the detail

welp, you hit a bulls-eye again. and you're not even in the thick of it yet.

Wut up Lemorris,

Looking awesome,
Can't wait to see some more ink work. Hey, I am going to try using the Micron pens w/ water color, thx to you.

That will work great AL.

Remember to let the WCs dry completely and then micron, and then erase.

I use a very similar method on some of my people toons.

Finally get to ink this 48.

This is convention week for my job and for the past 2 weeks I have been buried prepping stuff for the show.

Anyway here's the inking start. Before you ask yes I am using tools. I used a ruler, a pen, paper, an eraser, curves, ellipse set, a plate, a chewed off fingernail, and some funyuns. Whatever it takes is what it takes. Whatever you have is what you use....everything is a tool...(including some of you hahahahaha)

Sometimes I'll fill a large black area like the shadow because it makes me think I'm closer to being done, but I may save the big fills till the end so you can see how the fat blacks lock everything down.

Here's a detail of that back tire again.

Since the blacks aren't filled yet It's a little rough, but I know it'll lock down once I drop the K in. (CMYK....anybody????) I like how the little shapes flow into each other and help to form the larger object.

CMYK, yep. Graphic artist right here. Why not make the wheel C or M? If its M it could look like a barbie bike.

I got beat on being a graphics guy this past week. People were crawling out of the woodwork, but I got a lot done. I hope to finish this entire design including the 69 Buick this week.

I also landed a job for a VW club in Alaska and they want a Cartoon design. I grew up in Anchorage (19 years), and I'm really looking forward to getting on that job, but I gotta finish this for the Buick club first.

Oh well.
