New to the Forums: Introduction

[warrenkeefe]

Hey guys and gals. I was browsing the forums a while ago, fell off the map, but I'm back again and decided to sign up. There are lots of wicked artists on here which is exactly why I'm here too. Meet other artists, share my own drawings and such.

I've been drawing for most of my life and got serious into cars back in 2002. I put two and two together and have been heavy into it ever since. I didn't really get any good at it until 2004/2005 but anyway, here is my newest drawing which I just finished yesterday afternoon.

2006 Weisman GT
30-35 hours start to finish
Done with a mechanical pencil and blending stumps.



I guess thats all for now, I'm going to keep on browsing the forums to check out some other car art for a while. Nice to be here and see you all around.

Welcome. What a beautiful piece, has a very photo-realistic look.

What's the size of the image? I'm thinking it's quite large to capture all the small detailing.

[warrenkeefe]

Thanks guys, I've seen some of your work here too and its to my liking very much. The drawing isn't very big to tell you the truth, its 7.75in by 10.5 in. The largest I've done is 9x12, which took me just about 40 hours. This is the drawing here;

they look like a black and white photo. I especially love the angle of the wiesmann gt. It's one of my favourite cars.

Welcome mate! Your work is.....fabulous. Took me a while to find the word for your art. Keep us posted with your work.

[warrenkeefe]

Thanks everyone, glad to feel welcomed. I guess I'll throw up some more of my work. They more I post however, the older they get, haha. Hope you like these as well!

question:

Method?

Grid? Artograph?

It looks like there is some photo reference which is bad_ss in my opinion as great reference makes great pieces, but the rendered style is very much unlike anything I've seen in a while.

Your pencil work is fantastic. The style in your rendering leaves that pencil rendering comfort zone and really moves into a more expressive form of art.

I really like your pieces.

Thanks for sharing

Hey Lemorris, thank for the compliments!

I do use a photo reference so I can get all the details that my mind could never ever be able to tell my hand...but how I go about the drawing is I sketch it all out, usually takes an hour or two. Pretty rough, and with very little detail but take the time to make sure the proportions/perspective is bang on...Then I start from the left and go right (right handed, so I don't smudge anything).

I think of it as a paint by numbers sorta thing, haha. Rough outline, then just shade in accordingly. I never use a grid or anything because I was always worried about some of the grid not erasing away 100%.

Guess thats it, the old left-to-right method!

Your technique looks very good.

Watching you at Deviant!

Cheers!
