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

Really nice. I've always envied that sort of sketch quality. I haven't got it, which is why I go about it mathematically, and draught rather than sketch.

 

That goes for me too.

Where did you learn perspective drawing Dawie? Self taught?

 

High school art class, architecture school, and then a lot of experimentation on my own.

Frank Ching is a good source: http://tinyurl.com/ybq58yt

These days I'll often begin by building a simplified computer model in AutoCAD 3d or SketchUp, then print a perspective view and trace that onto a clean sheet of paper in pencil. Knowing about vanishing points etc. helps a lot when subsequently adding all the stuff that is more easily drawn in by hand.

 

Oh, I don´t need to learn it - I´m a technical illustrator. I just wondered how you got so good at it.

 

This is old but it's something.

 

Nudder one. Sorry for all the info plastered on this, it's the only image of this I had handy.

Inkymunky- that'd look slick slidin' down to the beach.

 

Wow, it just gets better & better, I would trade any talent I have to be able to draw like some of you guys................................ keep it flowing!

 

I'll cut ya a slice in trade for some of that action in your avatar!

 

What is the going rate to have some ideas sketched out on paper??

 

Obviously shortdog, you didn't read the whole thread...I posted this on the second page in response to someone else that asked...

Or: How much does a two bedroom house cost...??? How much does it cost to run a political campaign...??? Get the "picture"...???

I just finished this preliminary line drawing for a customer. So here it is for everyone enjoying this thread. 1970 Chevelle super sport

 

Just to go along with 40StudeDude on this one the time to do these can vary. If you're looking for a quick sketch or finished multi-view renderings, or a full build style sketch pack with all the details, parts, body mods, etc.

I try to do things on my own timelines. Some of the ballpoint sketches i had up took between 15-30 min each.

A more refined one for a full car view layout may take an hour if i know all the changes.

Full renderings like that wagon, each view took about 2.5-3 hours after i had the initial sketch done.

The price can add up quick depending on what you want done. I used to do these to help people land sponsorships, with a good proposal a company really likes to see the finished project before they bite.

 

Nice job po'boy! Non photo blue pencil? Did you use an underlay?

 

Yes, I used an underlay that I created in photoshop. Using reference photos that gave me the right perspectives and creating wheels on Asantiwheels.com Photoshop lets me play around with the layout without wasting paper, supplies & time. I'm one of those guys that can't draw without references, unless I've drawn the subject a hundred times. I get envious of artists that can just draw from imagination.

 

Depending on who does it, and how detailed,
anywhere from $100 to $10,000.

 

Lets keep this one going! Don't mind the top i gotta finish that view
