Who DOESN'T love concept drawings, post your favorite pics here!

Sorry but Nope! Just my daily coffee… Then a lil' beer, or wine a couple times a week… and aspirin when questions like that give me a headache… LOL!

I happen to like detail!

 

Here's some detail:

Ive got a few, but these are the only ones I have on the computer now, I have crashed a few times. Seems like I only draw trucks by looking at this. Eyebone, I really like your stuff and the pencil style.

 

That's a concept I'd like to develop. I've had some thoughts along those lines.

 

Thanks Ned. I'd like to know how! Your piece is amazing BTW. Great fun working out how it goes together, what drives what etc.. Love the Helicopter blades..
I did the Merc in reaction against the 'period' perfectionism of the Merc scene. I threw the kitchen sink at it, a Ford from each of various decades, as a bit of a laugh.
Out of this comes a front with a Mk. 7 Jag type of aura. The sides would probably resolve quite effectively with fade aways. Dreams..
BTW speaking of Jags that a pert lil' E- job done there Mr. Norwell..

 

Who doesn't love Hamb Andy's concept drawing by Conder? R.I.P - Andy

 

How do ya'lls do dis stuff? I iz just a bum pinstriper. Anyone got any sedan delivery draws?

Mikey

 

This to me is AWESOME!!! The style is great!

 

While not exactly a 'concept'...this '37 Dodge got built here in Denver...belonged to good friends of mine...actually, Harry built it for his wife, Pat (note wording on the side)...the delivery was black with dark green interior and accents and ran a Mopar engine...

BTW, this is all ink on paper, done by hand with a Rapidograph...no computer work here (other than the scan) and was done in 1982...!!!

40StudeDude Looks great, reminds me of the "Idiot's guide" Volkswagen manual

Nice job ynottayblock

Nice work zombie, reminds me of those velvet paintings, are you using colored pencil?

Awesome work! Jeff Norwell

eye bone your stuff is the sh*t!!!! Love it.

That concept by Hamb Andy is sweet.

 

Thanks Cory. I'm a big fan of you stuff too! You just ooze cool ideas!

Cool art everyone!

 

I remember seeing this one and also in color along with a full size drawing at Johnson's Hot Rods several years ago. The guy paid $125K for the Lincoln at auction! Don't know where it went but it wasn't finished when it left the shop.

 

When I saw this I needed one it's a 1946 Ford Torpedo Speedster


So I did some cutting and pasting and came up with this


Some more playing


Streach the front


And a Friends Photoshop


Its got to be long and lean - str8 8 or 6 - with a front mount Huffer
All put on a 46 chassis with pinched rails and sucide front and real axle.

 

Here's one I did that's being built right now.

 

Fantastic work... I'll throw one in. Troy at Hollywood Hot Rods and I collaborated on a '32 coupe for a design article in Rod and Custom Magazine. I'll show some early idea sketches that got the gears turning. What we ended up with is the European inspired '32 Coupe.


Early Concept/Profile


Some early development - Idea is still coming to us...


Stance starting to come together.


"European Inspired" idea is generated and the details start to bring it to life.


3/4 Aerial for the Rod and Custom gang.


Detail.

 

Here are some I came up with then I was about 15 - 18. Hope I'm not muddying up the thread with all the talent already posted. This was just pencil on notebook paper. I'd like to find a way to get the lines of the paper off the background. I'm not a graphic artist so I don't know what all tricks are possible.

 

In 1955 I was 15 and I drew this and built in a year, wish I had it now but the crusher got it. It is a 49 dodge

 

really cool stuff so far guys, thanks binga, i will ad some more. jetter, i love your stuff. i have a bunch of it on my hard drive alreay too. ha ha. eye bone keep those thing coming. i really dig your suff. whats up mr norwell, lets see some more.

Thanx Zombie, that means a lot to me...guess I'll have to scan a bunch more then and post them to the FAS...

Thanks Spoggie. I'd been thinking if my coachbuilt "aristocratic" formula - hood stretch, Z'd frame, raised fenders - could be made to work on a '49 Merc. I'd most recently been moving to a '34 truck shell, and extending the front fenders ahead of it. Perhaps it'd need something like a WWII aircraft engine to justify the resulting silly wheelbase, and I'm still worried about the proportions with that amount of length. If I get a free moment I'll try it.

Oh yes.

 

Here's Bob Thomas' rendering of one of the Nanook paint schemes. It was given to my Dad to follow as the guideline for the paint scheme in '72.

 

Thanks Zombie, you are a true master! When I saw this one in Rod and Kulture my jaw dropped (hell it always does when I see your work) but this one was right up my alley, a green bubble top with a y-block way too cool.

 

Here are couple of my custom concepts in R&C:

1950 Baby Lincoln/ Buick Dream Car - Custom Blend

1954 Buick

Thank you Zombie, I am a fan of you stuff too!
Yeah, & I need to sit down & do some more… it's been a while…

 

Ok, so you all remember this? Posted a few pages ago it was the original concept sketch for my 53 Kaiser Manhattan...



Well the future wifey and i got to talking and i brought up the idea of a surf style wagon since we will be moving out to california where she is originally from. She loved it and a 2 days later we now have the current revised concept. We're gonna convert it from a 4 door sedan to a 2 door wagon, should be fun for me i gotta build it now!

Forgive the crappy quality i had to take a pic in a poorly lit hotel room.

 

You ain't kiddin'… kind of, Rube Goldburg, meets Popeye… bang bang… or some shit like that… LOL Seriously, nice original piece of cartooning.

 

Thanks! Po'boy… sorry I missed this before now…

 

Thanks. It's actually a re-interpretation of Professor Pat Pending's Convert-A-Car (I've done the other ten too ...) And if you look closely you'll see it's in correct scale and perspective, so despite appearances it isn't really a cartoon!
