Look, it´s a car!


I am getting more and more time for sketching now (since the summer holidays start in a few days from now), which probably means more frequent posting on this blog too. The last few weeks I have been incredibly busy with work, but now, slowly, a great Calm is beginning to find it´s way into my mind.

Anyway. Cars. I´m still practicing drawing cars every now and then, and this time I think I almost got it. I tried hard with this one not to think that I was drawing a Toyota, I just compared lines and lengths and angles as I do with any other subject I draw, and I think it turned out pretty well. Now I just need to make some more successful car drawings, so I don´t have to draw the conclusion that this was just beginner´s luck...

Oh Yes i like this, I think you captured an amazing amount of detail for a fast sketch AND the perspective looks great to me - I am striving to be quick and loose - emphasis on striving.

Have I told you lately that I just love everything you do?! I forget to stop by and am always happy when I do. Also, thank you for taking the time to encourage Katie. I told her she should be flattered since you are so terrific.

Well done! You should be famous!
I have always found cars challenging, among a few other things.
