Thanks guys, much appreciated. There's always a couple people at a show who say "nice photographs!" and keep on walking. lol

I did this pencil illustration over the weekend at a car show up here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada back in April. It's 10x18. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I used to see tracing as cheating too for some reason, that's why I used to grid everything. If I think back on all the pieces that I've gridded over the years I could have completed ALOT more work by tracing with graphite paper or blowing an image up with a projector. It's all just personal preference of course. It still takes time, skill and talent to shade or color in a traced outline so I have no problem using graphite paper. The attatched piece is the last one I used a grid on. (sorry bout the mispelled "coptwrite". It's been fixed on my website lol)

I used to grid too, for years. Then a buddy of mine at work told me about graphite paper. Now I just blow up an image to the size I want, put down a sheet of stock, put the graphite paper on it and the image on that. Then trace. WAY faster than grids. I wish I would've known about the stuff 20 years ago...

Ha! Yea, goofed on the "copyright". Fixed that up on my site.

I finished this a while back.

Love your pen and ink stuff, nice work man.

Holy Harry, those are pretty nice! My brother does quite a bit on Photoshop and I've always wanted to try it. I think my brain is just analog instead of digital and I'm kinda stuck in my ways. It might be good to try something new though.
-
I appreciate the info Harry. I think I'll try the one I have and reduce an image down so it fits under my projector. I know it'll save me alot of time but this little part of my brain thinks it's cheating! Eh, I need to get with the times. Do you do any drawing Harry? You seem to know about paper and what not.

It is VERY time consuming. I did buy one of those projector thingies that you put over a photograph and it shows it on a wall or piece of paper, but the largest picture it will work on is a 5x7. Is that the same as an Artograph?? I usually take a photo and blow it up to the exact size I need, like a 16x20, and then grid it from there. Maybe I should try another way, I might get more work done that way too.

Like many others I build the cars I would love to own but could never afford. I got back into building a little while ago after about 13 years. I've been collecting old kits for about 5 years just for the box art but after a while you want to actually BUILD one instead of admire the artwork. One day not too long ago I just decided to open one and build it. The fact that my 7 year old son has shown interest in it probably has alot to do with it too.

No problem Harry. For pencils I use Staedtler 2B, 4B, 6B, and 8B. The paper is Strathmore Bristol Vellum, it has a nice "tooth" to it so the graphite spreads around easily for shading. I use the grid method to lay out my images. I go block by block and freehand sketch everything in, then erase the grid and go to town shading. I've never been one to do "studies" or test pieces, I just make sure I don't screw up the one I'm working on. I've been thinking about trying to loosen up my work a bit. With the way I draw now and the detail I put into my pieces it's really time consuming. If I'm set up at a car show I can usually count a half dozen people that say "nice photographs" and they keep on walking

Thanks for the kind words guys, I appreciate it. Gregg, I haven't done one of Pure Hell yet, although it's one of my favorites. You can email me if you would like an original piece done. Take care.

Dude, nice work. That thing is right up my alley. Awesome.

Hi guys, I'm a new guy from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and I just got back into modeling after about 13 years or so. I hope this is the right place to post my first post but I couldn't find an intro forum anywhere. I really like nostalgic drag racing stuff so I think I'm going to concentrate on those.
My first work in progress after a long hiatus is a 36 Ford with a Boss 429 shoehorned into it. The frame has been filed, cut, Dremeled, you name it, just to get the big pig to fit in there. The drivetrain is from the Monogram Boss 429 kit and the intake, carbs, and fuel pump are from the old original MPC Blue Max MustanfgFunnycar.
I'm making headers out of solder, the driveshaft has been shortened, roof cut out, brass rod rear axle, shaved to fit manifold, hollowed barrels on the carbs, and I recently added some leaf springs to the rear suspension. I had to hack out part of the ugly molded in exhaust (man I hate when they do that). I'll try to get some pics up if I can figure that part out. Alright, enough rambling!!

Hi guys, does anyone have a line on 1/16 Ford SOHC engines? I've tried to order a 3D printed one online but it fell through. Any help would be appreciated.
