    I here ya Broman and have your back.
    Digital art is just using another tool......such as a brush,pencil or pastel.
    The only stuff I post here is digital stuff..... cause I am a lazy prick.I have little time to scan and my scanner is waaaay too small.I do as much traditional as I do digital......
    Using a computer is is just another tool in the box.
    But.....
    I have seen so much shit done on the computer and traditionally that sucked it makes my head spin(not so much here,but in my illustration world.)
    Too many think the computer makes it so easy......and there sooooooo wrong.
    practice,practice,practice.....
    Too many think they can scan an image and trace it out in a vector program.....no thought,no beauty.....mindless.
    Art(any style or format) needs ALOT of time.It is a selfish business....cause you need to spend so much of your time by yourself.
    A wise instructor once told our structural drawing class "Your gonna make a million mistakes in your careers.....better get started."
    And don't get me started on the abstract fine art world.......Like Robt. williams once said "The biggest scam in the 20th century"

    I apoligize for the rant now.
    :)


    Broman is a wise man

    That's pretty cool. I've been doing it for a while and still haven't got the hang of it.

    The computer may be an important tool these days, but we will never have an electronic artist with a name like Picasso, Matisse, Monet, Renoir, Ed Roth, Von Dutch etc..........

    I have been working on some 32 Roadster castings. My friends say they are mini Wanlass's. - stanleywanlass.com


    These are cast in Hydrocal - a smooth, strong art plaster, then finished with a blackened broze. I planon spraying a touch of clear to give them some added depth. I am happy with the finish and they appear to be bronze!

    Thanks Broman ,TINGLER , Brush for the info.
    It was an honest question, not meant to offend. I really dig the 'digital' drawings/art.
    I'm going to check out some of these programs this weekend.
    I've been drawing cars for 30 years , since I was 3. Always took art classes in school 'cause it was an easy grade...hahahaha. But almost exclusively with just a pencil and paper.
    I hadn't drawn much in the last 8 years or so until I found the *Friday Art Show*. All the artists here have saved me and got me back into drawing. Also helped me try new things like airbrushing and pinstriping.
    THANKS GUYS!!:D

    Viva la Art Show!!

  10. I am really envious of you "computer art" guys. I have done some stuff on corel draw (instrument faces, saw the ones I wanted, saw the price, after I stopped coughing, drew my own and put them on the existing guages it probably took about the same time as swopping them for new ones!) But just can't seem to get it right most of the time. I have photo shop but can't use it as I havn't had the time to learn but know I really must. The thought of being able to combine my hand done stuff with photos and other art really appeals. Any tips/help sites would be appreciated.
    Your stuff just rocks.

    First off great work TrucksHC, Cadillac DaddyO, and RYZART!!!!!

    exactly! Here is a sample of my roomates "digital" artwork a digital portrait of himself...first off its not traditional hot rod art...but he is way better than I, although he isn't into cars...so I guess he's not as cool...haha

    It was all done in photoshop with a wacom tablet and patience!

    [​IMG]

    ...and here is an unfinished 3D model he is woring on.

    ...so as many others have said digital art should be credited just as much as traditional artists...even though you may not get dirty while creating the art...its still just as difficult if not more!

    Hey guys,

    digital art is just not pressing some buttons and bam! You have some art. I grew up like most of the artist drawing with pencils. When I was in school in the early 90's the computer was really starting to come on strong. I still had life drawing and illustration classes. When I illustrate on the computer I still use many of the techniques and ideas as I would use on a traditional illustration. The computer just offers way too many advantages with the ease of corrections, color changes, layers, special effects and many more items. Heck, I even draw something out real quick and scan it and redraw it in the computer.

    Just recently I broke out my trustly old drawing table for the kids to use. Heck, I am kind of itching to get back on it myself...when I have the time.

    You can see the attached images, the monster drawing going to the finished computer illustration. The entire Nova except the rims was all done in Illustrator.

    Sean

    that is a extremely talented guy, i thought it was a photograph first, altough i think it looks too perfect... handsome guy btw, looks alot like me :p
    the truck done with markers is also beautiful...

    and 40studedude, i'm off to buy some sharpies now... great work!

    I'll post some art myself as soon as i get hold of a scanner or finish some real art, pencil sketches don't work well with my crappy digital camera
