Very cool!

Love the Guppy how it sits!!!!

The guppy reminds me of the work of Dermot Walsh's cartoony stuff

He also has a book out on how to draw vehicles.

He is a big motorcycle guy!

(for some reason I couldn't add this info as and edit to my last post-?-)

lemorris and PDQ VW: Thank you very much.

LTD--nice line work. Not over done with the lines, sometimes with toons
the lesser amount of line work makes for a better toon.

Blip- Thanks

LTD:

I really like these. I find it hard to break things down into such bold shapes. Great job.

2HB- Thanks

Had some free time in class so I sketched these out on some notebook paper.

Need to work on my proportion:eek7:

I love seeing everyones work on here. It's very inspiring and helped me get back into drawing after a brief hiatus.

Hi
It's been a while since I posted anything
This is a sketch of a 1973 Lincoln Continental Mark IV coupe
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/5180873contmarkiv0001.jpg

This is my quick tooned rendering (maybe an hour) of James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder. What do ya think? I may post this as my first real attempt as a toon too just to see the comments on only this.

that's very nice

thanks bonze appreciate that :)

thanks bonze appreciate that :)

sure anytime

that's very nice
wow! a quicky? i like this.

rexsins-art--amazed are what you call a "quickie."
Very nice doodle--even if it's a Holden, I think.:naughty: :cwm27::grinyes:

Great stuff guys, this thread is very inspiring. For me, sketches are more worth than a finished rendering.

This is a practise I did a few weeks ago: I drew cars that I could imagine from my mind, without any references. I failed on a few, but others went quite well. I can really recommend that, its a fun and very interesting challenge.

LOL!!!! I love that sketch!!! :evillol:

This thread is the equivalent to Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth Jammin in the early 80's.

Knight--the composite doodle of all those vehicles is just amazing
A fun bit of eye candy.

lemorris--luv the squished proportions of the Bus toon.

Thanks for your comments guys! I have a some kind of personal relationship to each of those cars. Many of them are cars I've driven on my own, or friends cars, or my favorite racing game cars... and when i drew the Bug and the VW T1, it reminded me of lemorris haha...

Knightvision--What a fun drawing--I love that!
It would make a great screen saver!

Lemorris---hack!

Thanks. This thread should be continued forever so that you can later see everybody's development!

Generic early 90ies JDM-Style drifter, no reference, just my view of how such cars look like.

Knight--nice one, has a designer/concept art look to it.


Was doodling a bit the other night and thought I post a couple of pages.

On this first one was playing around with proportions and viewing angles.
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z130/Darkblip/Artwork/CAR-toons/Nov08Doodles01.jpg

Changed things up after the top row and worked on what I consider my
weakest area, drawing a toon with a strong side profile view.
I tend to screw up this view too easily ...
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z130/Darkblip/Artwork/CAR-toons/Nov08Doodles02.jpg

I love the proportions and I think you concentrated on perspective on the first sheet, the one at the lower right is excellent.

These are great!
Nothing screwy there and they look really planted!

Thanks--these were fun to do, probably because I had no reason to do them.
Just some doodling craziness.

Knight--the first sheet was focused on trying more toony proportions/perspectives.
The wheel/tire ellipses on that coupe just wouldn't work right, took may tries.
That's why there a stand alone wheel beside it,
had to box a practice one first before redrawing it on the toon.

Yeah and drawing sheets full of ellipses one after the other just helps so much! You got them nice in shape finally.

This is a great thread--luvs the roughs--and there is plenty of eye candy here! I learn alot here to!
A member of another forum asked me to do a sketch of his cars in the same manner as this sketch I posted on in another thread. Of course VWs!!!!! http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k81/PDQVW/aprik08-9.jpg
So here are some roughs I've sent him--I haven't drawn in a while so I really have to limber up <=+) And he is only looking for a rough sketch anyway so I lucked out hahaha!
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k81/PDQVW/LINE-UP.jpg
The bug and notch have been enlarged and moved for a bit better framing
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k81/PDQVW/revisedCARS.jpg
Ghia detail--I love this car

Playing in color-erase blue
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k81/PDQVW/blue.jpg
Comments are always welcome--I ain't no pro that's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PDQ - Your roughs are very nice, i love the last two pieces, expecially the ghia, the stance you gave it is awesome.

PDQ--luv seeing your design thumbnails and "car profile" roughs.
There are so many nuggets spread thru your doodles to see how you go about
developing each CAR-toon.
Thanks for sharing, it's this kind of stuff that can help me to get better.

Amazing PDQ! That#s what sketching is all about!

Here's a set of doodles I set to a client to see what kind of view/pose he wanted.

The CAR-toon will be of his father's 65 Mustang fitted with all the Shelby goodies.
He's looking for the big tires/crazy hot rod pose, sort of a Trosley/Roth/Newton look, I think.

some more "quicky" ink stuff i really dig using ball point lately lol ,im obsessed with this car ....

^^^
Good gravy man!!!!!
How many ball points did you go thru for that????!?

Blip---can I have some of that talent of your's??? Just a bit!!!

rexsins--quit posting your finished artwork in the sketch thread...:uhoh: :p

...I wish some of my finished work looked that good and all done with pens, wow.
(And I didn't make a single Holden comment.)

PDQ--thanks and it's easy to find what little talent I have, it's just laying around on the floor.:grinyes:
It is being sucked out of me by my two sons who just don't want to give me much quiet time to draw anymore,
so somebody should come by, pick it up and put it to good use.:)

edit: to correct one of my too common spelling errors.

im sorry blip :grinyes: to me these are sketchs ,i draw a bit more unconventional to the majority i think ,you all have these nice flowing loose lines where as i tend to be more precise straight off the bat ,im sorry lol....:smokin:

when my stuffs in the outline stages i get too excited to finish them and i tend to not take photos till they are done :nono: tsk tsk naughty naughty :)

PDQVW -just the one pen for each :)

if these arent deemed as sketchs please feel free to remove them im cool with that :)

rexsins--just having fun, luv your stuff and the confidence you have with a pen. :thumbsup:
Wish I could draw a sketch that strong, please keep posting in this thread, even
if it is just more Holden vehicles.:sly: :biggrin:

i know mate all good :smokin: thanks :)

Here's a couple for a non VW thing I got on deck. Shows in Oregon in like July but the organizers decided they wanted stuff soon so....20 minutes each while listening to Dada which I recommend.

50 Olds
http://www.dhphut.com/images/ang_2.jpg

49 Caddy
http://www.dhphut.com/images/ang_3.jpg

Note: I think the 49 Caddy is one of the sexiest cars I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to the drawing on it.

Gotta agree, while the buggy is very cool, the "sleds" are gorgeous.
Will any of them make it to Illy/PS level?

I have been working on this off and on for awhile now.. this is my 61 Econoline (toon'ed) eventually this will be applied to the wall of the shop, next to the corvette and malibu renderings... hope you like

Thanks for watch! :)

I know no one posted here for along time but I like this threat and found a quick sketch I did during my german lesson ;). It took me perhaps an hour to complete it. The car in the front is completely out of perspective but i painted the out lines with a biro and had no chance to correct it. http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3627/1042239ia2.jpg

decided to do another one for fun when I can

http://www.dhphut.com/images/jd_1.jpg

snakes and sparklers

:)

Very cool, me thinks that be one very twisted, big winged Daytona.

http://www.dhphut.com/images/jd_2.jpg

it'll sit for a while. Maybe I can get to it at some point.

What a great hilite (ass end) piece!!!!
So much good stuff and lots to look at!

Okay, finally scanned these doodles. Used a ref article about stock car racing at the
old Riverside road course track for the first set and a book on racing in the 60's for the second one.

Played around with lots of differing viewing angles/perspectives and levels of exaggeration/proportions.

This was my favorite era of stock car racing, after which I lost interest in the kind of racing.
These were drawn over several days, not sure if I'll take any to a finished digital version.
