Who can draw cars in Cars (Disney) style?

[The Creative Explorer]

We're going to have another baby in september and I found great inspiration for our babycard.

I want our family represented in Cars cars around the new addition to the family.

But my drawingskills are mediocre to say the least and I know there is drawing talent on this board. The question is logically;

Who is up for a challenge and willing to draw 4 cars in Cars style (black and white)?

I can't pay a lot for it, but will do something in return.

What kind of cars or should I say 'Cars did you have in mind?

Like having the baby represented by a Fiat 500?

[The Creative Explorer]

No, I had our own actual cars in mind. So I would be represented as a '89 Renault 5 GTTurbo, my wife as a '04 Renault Megane GrandTour and our son would be represented as a 2011 Dodge Challenger.

We do not own a Challenger, but in honor of his birth, I build a custom Challenger. So the perfect car for him. For the baby I am not sure yet, I chose the Challenger for Thomas, because that was a kit of a car from his birthyear and a good representative of the design of that year.

For the baby, it has to be something similar, but I am thinking at the moment of a GT-86 at the moment, since I want to build a model of it too.

I hope it makes some sense. Let me look for some pictures.

OK,this is a quick and dirty version. Is this what you had in mind? I need to put a 'smile' on the grille when I figure it out.

I would think the Challenger would look very much like the Camaro in the movie.

Every time I look at one of the characters from Cars, I wonder why they didn't make the headlights the eyes. To me, the "face" would have made more sense if the headlights were the eyes, and not have eyes in the windshield.

Not the world's most important issue, I know...

[pharoah]

I've wonder about that too, Harry. Like this?

Just to be different I guess.

I have read the interview at the time of the first Cars movie and it is basically to what John says; to be different. 'Everybody' already uses the headlights as the eye's. This way they had a different 'product', and my guess it looks ok.

It somewhat makes sense and it doesn't

@John; yes thank you, basically it is what I had in mind, it's just that my drawing skills are not good. I am still thinking of the right composition, but I have a global idea for that.

Exactly, Harry!

A family portrait, right?

[The Creative Explorer]

Not like a portrait, more like a scene.

The three cars next to each other in a slight curve around the new car. Let's say the baby in the middle of the clock and the three other cars at 11, 12 and 1.

Kind of like this?

i got a idea for this. do it like you said with 11, 12 and 1 but instead of a baby car have a stroller with a baby human in it holding on to a steering wheel. the cars are like "WHOO HOO We have a new (or future) driver!"

[The Creative Explorer]

Kind of like this?

Nailed it!

@Marcus; that is also a great idea. How about mixing it with the initial idea? Put the car in a stroller

[Greg Cullinan]

This is cool where it is heading. Also my respect to those who are helping Erik out.

[pharoah]

Ta - Da ...

Maybe a pacifier that looks like a wheel and tire..

Wickedly awesome John!

[pharoah]

I can go ahead and start this for you. What kind of car is the 'baby' going to be?

Do you want this in a black and white line drawing or do you want shading? Not a big deal either way.

Is it OK if I do it on the computer and email it to you? Or do you need actual paper and ink? That will take longer.

[The Creative Explorer]

I had to think and search for it, but I am going for a Toyota GT86, that is the only kit I've found of a just released car. My other option is the LaFerrari, but that thing doesn't do it for me at all. I kinda dispise what Ferrari is up to lately. Just a bunch of marketing products and way too far off of their history.

So, I ended up with the GT86.

I was thinking just black and white and fill in the colors myself on the computer. Not that I don't trust anyone with it, but this way I could contribute at least something myself . This also answers your other question; yes, it can be on the computer. It will have my preference, that way I can easily corporate the drawing in the card itself. Which needs to be send digitally to the printer.

Thanks John!

Can you sent me your e-mail? That will simplify our datatraffic a little bit.

[pharoah]

PM sent!

[The Creative Explorer]

Unfortunately, John couldn't do this because of time, but I do appreciate his effort.

Is there someone else willing to help me out?

I don't know if you're familiar with Reddit or not, but I have found success with the /picsrequest subreddit. I described what I wanted for my computer wallpapers and the next morning I woke up to 2 custom wallpapers exactly like I wanted. Cost me nothing. It's worth a shot.

Here's one person's attempt at a Challenger...

A different but somewhat similar Renault...

Maybe someone could use those for reference.

Wow, those renderings are awesome! The licensing agreements must be a nightmare!
