not been on here for a bit, been busy with other things. Getting back into the car though, and the drawing too.

Here's a couple that I did for some guys I know round my way. I know a few peeps had been wanting to see an S1, and I've not even seen a Focus RS one anywhere yet






Oh, and a cheeky portrait of Artur Boruc I done for the missus! Damn I hate that guy!!

craigybaby

you have some talent mate they are great

leader

they looks nice mate. but I want to ask a questio. why do you do men portraits? do it some girls mate

smudge_lad

Cause I'm gay mate, and I really fancy those blokes!

Lol, na, seriously though, I got paid to draw those guys. Nobody has ever paid me to draw a woman

STAFFY OWNER

Very talented mate. I'm sure you could earn a living doing portraits of kids/pets/ buildings for businesses. Have you done any pet portraits (particularly dogs)? Would be interested to see them if you have.

smudge_lad

Mate, you'd be surprisd how many times I've been asked to do a drawing for someone, that will take me about 10-12 hours, and when I tell them it's gonna be Ł80, they look at me like I've got horns!

That's about Ł8 an hour for a skill I've been working at for 27 years. I'm sure good tradesman are charging a sh*t load more than that, and probably have half as much experience.

But that's life I guess! People think that just because it's a talent, it doesn't take time and effort. They don't see it as work for me.

Anyway, rant over! I've only ever done one dog portrait, and I hated it, lol. It's a lot harder to draw animals. The photo's need to be absolutely spot on too.

What did you have in mind?

Mk1-stu

what software & equipment do you use to draw them ?

smudge_lad

all hand drawn mate.

cars are coloured in photoshop, using the mouse. Nothing fancy, but very time consuming!

portraits are all pencil/ballpoint pen
