holy shit that is fine.

Nice work, your layouts are always interesting.
Is it an older Holden model?

Are you doing two rear views of the same car or will one be different?

thanks alot for the compliments,yes it is one of the first holden commodore made a 1980 vc model ,this is the first car peter brock modified for his business,it will all be the same car in the drawing ,it came out in 3 different colours red white and black so ill be doing all 3,ive just got to get motivated again lol

Beautiful work.

thanks gman

thats an amazing drawing thats an old old shape vauxhall cavilier aint it?

another great work!

Thanks for bringing the Aussie musclecars to the site. So many great cars
that we in the states just don't know much about.

Big fan of the V8Supercar series too, hope SPEED channel will show them again doing their
break from all the NASCAR stuff.

thanks sieg,tony-tit -our early holdens were based very much on opels

blip-our v8,s are good but when we had goup a rules it was more exciting it allowed different makes and also v8,s alongside turbos,wider tyres etc etc im sure you would of got a kick out of it,now theres only ford vs holden and the cars have the same amount of power and are limited in weight etc,im glad you like our old muscle cars i didnt think anyone would lol,i love american muscle aswell, WHO DOESNT :)

Nice job man! Smooth. Lookin> 2 the completed project

thanks gb ,ive gotta draw a friends beema so this one will have to wait a while-damn luv jobs lol

Jeez that is good. Not a huge fan of Australian cars myself (despite living in Tassie), but your pictures are sooooo good. It makes a nice change from Ferrari, Porsche etc.....

Please keep us all posted with pics. This is going to be exceptional when it is finished!!!! You may also consider making a limited number of quality copies and numbering them for sale on ebay. They'd sell like hotcakes because Commodore fans are a hardcore breed as you would know......

Very good work!

I feel like I'm repeating myself in the last posts, but hey, there's really some great car art coming up here.

Honestly, your drawing looks great. The perspective is perfect and I like how you add and color the interior instead of covering it up by some cheap glas shadings/reflections. I think the headlights are the best part of all.


Don't know whether you're interested, but again, I found the german roots of this one. It was called Opel Ascona here, the predecessor of the Opel Vectra.

It's always the same. The car is developed overhere, but you Aussies are finally the only ones who managed to make it look cool and give it some charisma. There has never been any version (the guys at Opel wouldn't even had thought of it) in Germany like this one with all the spoilers and the stripes. It was only available in the "old grandpa with hat"-version.

That's great to hear! I have been wathcing your drawings and am so impressed with them. In fact, my only 'complaint' as such is that you don't draw cars that I adore!!!!! tee hee There are only a handful of Commodores that I like - the VL Walkinshaw, VN SS Group A and VR GTS-R. And even then, I am not really a fan of 'The General', but I have owned a Camira in the past (piece of crap!!!)

If you could ever bring yourself to draw any of the Skyline GT-R series especially the R32 (no rice though), or the Lancer Evos, Subaru Impreza (GC8), Honda NSX or Series VI Mazda RX-7...... And I do have a soft spot for the 993 Porsche 911 Turbo...... I loathe 'riced' cars personally.

But I think it's great that you are drawing cars that I personally see most days rather than exotics that I will only ever see in glossy magazines. And your ability is awesome. I thank you for posting pics of your work here for me to enjoy.

Are you in Sydney or Melbourne or one of the larger cities?

thanks very much for the kind words it means alot and is much appreciated ,im in sydney and being an ex wrx owner (X3) i have a soft spot for them especially the gc8 heres some pics you may like ,unfortunately they are poorly scanned and the walkinshaw is a colour copie not the original though. enjoy :)

I love your drawings. I love the GC8 Imprezas too - especially the non-riced standard WRX, WRX STi and 22bs...... But, as you may have seen from my other thread, my true love is the Skyline GT-R (R32 is a special favourite).

I'm in Hobart, but moving to Canberra to live and work in the next month or so.

Don't know whether you're interested, but again, I found the german roots of this one. It was called Opel Ascona here, the predecessor of the Opel Vectra.

No, that's a different car.

This Holden Commodore was based on the German model Opel Commodore C, where it got it's model name also. Later the Opel Commodore was dropped and the Holdens were looking like Opel Senator and then later Opel Omega for the VT Commodore (but still technically different from the Omega and still closer to the Senator).

The Opel Ascona C was known as Holden Camira in Australia and it's a smaller and FWD car, the Commodore was RWD (both Opel and Holden versions).
