pull up a chair and have a moment ---from a fledgling career, from another lifetime, deep from the archives, is this mercedes mall concept drawing. customer sits and negotiates with a salesperson in f/g:

thanks. that one is cropped, too. the drawing dimensions cannot fit on my scanner. drawing is longer and taller than what you see.

Thx for sharing your work w/ us.
I look forward to seeing more, fow sho nuff. :iceslolan

Amazing. Simply amazing.
I especially liked the first picture.
BTW, how long did it take you to paint it?

i tend to hide the mediums i use so the viewer cannot tell if its paint or... what is it?
when i began coloring the sunbeam drawing, it took about 3 days to fully dial it in. it took about a week, at leisure with spurts of intensity, to get the line drawing down. the front end of that car was a bish. and i made up the view from several views of the car. in other words, no view like what i did existed of that car. i had to interpolate it and the entire street with architecture. it is therefore a composite drawing made from dozens of references.
i used about 98% ad marker to do it, with some colored pencil and gouache hi-lites. many people assume it is painted. but it is only a drawing.
on color drawings, i typically will give the entire scene rather than just the car.
lemorris, thank you.

Aside from the pixelated, bad quality scan, these look awesome. It's amazing how you achieved a perfectly proportioned drawing from "improvising" using several ref pics.
As for the sunbeam's wheels, you truly are an ellipse master.
Btw: sorry for the late reply

alex, rb26, thank you guys.
the technique of inventing views from references is from storyboarding. marker technique is from advertising. combine the two = visual homage.
rb, did you get my pm?
