The Friday Art Show

45 years as a Journeyman Modelmaker I made a lot of doodles to take my mind off the job at hand. Here are a few that I somehow hung on to.

 

Just wondering, why are you bumping a thread that is pinned to the top?

 

...my First all black sketch,...don't look too bad,...black cars are hard to draw...

 

Thanks again Good stuff as usual

A few weeks ago, it was my second time to attend the Barlow Point Invitational private car show, down at Longview Washington.

Here is the link to all of the pictures I took at that event.

Enjoy from Dennis.

A few more mindless doodles from years gone by.

 

Hey @jeepster
There is nothing mindless about those so called doodles, they are reflective of the creative element that finds its way to the paper!
Bravo!
Sometimes, even the simple "X-ACTO" knife can be instrumental in creating new art!

Hey Rusty, nice job for a first attempt!
Drawing black/dark colored cars is hard! It's a study and exercise in interpreting reflection on curved surfaces and rendering it into an image that the viewer recognizes as plausible...a couple of rendering styles on the same car...Hope this is some help...keep up the good work.

Bob, you've had some amazing work over the last few weeks. Thanks for posting

 

An art project from last Spring was the impetus for the new design that started this Summer.

Hello,

When my wife and I were in our early 20s, we wanted a hot rod of sorts. So, our search took us all over So Cal to see what was advertised in the local papers and free community flyers. One of those stops was a nice black 1950 Ford Coupe sitting in a aromatic garage. (All black, light color mohair type interior and a flathead motor with three carbs.) It had stock black rims and small round center hubcaps. Standard height and stance was how we saw it in the owner’s garage.

So, with that experience in mind, the art project started. No, we did not buy it as my wife got a weird vibe off of the garage and the owner. We left without a new project. But, over time and a newly found 327 powered 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery that we found at a small shop in Santa Ana, our adventure began together.

The old drawing of the 1950 Ford always popped up in my art files and gave me a new direction of a futuristic build.

A custom Nomad style Station Wagon to allow us to cruise and have a secure place to store stuff we bought in the back. Also, to allow us to have a nice place to sleep, protected from the elements. Ever sleep in the back of an 65 El Camino out in the open? As dreamy as it sounds and looked, we watched the stars sprinkle and glow at night. But, in the morning, we were drenched with moisture from the night time dew. Not the most pleasurable way to sleep.

A slightly chopped, lowered, made into a sedan delivery… and more privacy on our many road trips all over the California coastline adventures. An idea still burning in our older times… YRMV

 

Wow, already the month of October is here! Here is wishing you all a great happy Friday (FAS).
Thanks from Dennis.

Thank you, much appreciated .....nice to be back.

 

Love your art - but, wow how long does it take to draw all that detail?

 

Cheers, Rob
