Friday art show...not as early as it could have been!

[paulatxntric]

Just finished a couple of pics and no one else has started yet so....
the first is the finished pic of the sketch I put on last week
"Doris" Ratty's 32 roadster pick up (with Ratty driving and someone elses wife in the passenger seat!), remember this is England and our cars are righthand drive and so Ratty has the goatie not some ones wife!
and Louie Battencourt's 49 merc (original bodywork and chop by Gil Ayala and, as in the pic the 1st makeover by Barris) the source pic shamelessly picked from the HAMB!

[SinisterCustom]

SWEET!
I'll post some stuff later tonight.
Gotta get to work!:D

[safariknut]

Here's a few things I've been working on this week in addition to the grunt work.

I decided that I need a new hat as my other one is several years old now.This is about as close to finished as it's ever going to be.

The next piece is a trophy I'm doing for the Billetproof Michigan show.For best use of pinstriping.

The next piece is an old creeper a friend of mine bought the other day.Going to be a wall hanger.

The last is a tour pack I did(and just finished re-touching because the clear pulled the stripes).

[Belchfire8]

I always thought that a '59-'60 studebaker would make a cool gasser, so i did a quick sketch, I like it, maybe a finished drawing will follow!

[Broman]

I don't like to post my art usually, but Tingler has had me frothing every week (hat's off bro).

I was sketching a little doodle on an 11x17 sketch pad one day and I liked the lines...so I kept it up. I didn't have any colored pencils and I didn't wan to use those messy (but fun) oil pastels. Instead I started with a regular ball point pen...black I believe. Next I got out a blue one, and one thing led to another and before you knew it I had an all ink pen drawing.

I did this baby one stoke at a time guys - it took me a few weeks worth of sitting on the couch and scratching away while whating TV out of the corner of my eye.

Hope you like. Unfortunately I had to take a pic of the origional then print it out at a smaller scale - then scan that to post it to the web. I am actually surprized - it doesn't look too bad.

Enjoy:

btw, good showing as usual.

[tikEK]

safari nut - sublime as always.
something a little different to my usual design work... keeps the stress levels down - doesn't always need to make sense either:D

Dude, you need to do us all a favor and post more often. I can't believe you got that kind of texture/detail from friggin ballpoint pens. Of course, I have trouble drawing a crooked line with one. You should contact Bic or Parker and see about becoming their new pen spokesperson. Seriously.

Oh, and I hope all that "scratching away" didn't impact your television watching too much? I would kill to be able to draw 1% as good as that, with FULL concentration. (Editor's Note - full concentration would be on the drawing and not the killing). But if I did get caught, I could say that the music of The Police is to blame, because Sting spoke to me and said "you could turn a murder into art".

-murph

[DocWatson]

Broman, that is awesome, man it can be hard to get a good effect with ink, that is just spot ot.
Doc.

[Broman]

I can't say I wasn't inspired. Seeing the tikis you and a few others post regularly made me think, hmm I wonder if I could do that....


I was sketching out some things for ideas for a shift knob for my next hot-rod. I had started a few skulls and stuff but wasn't feeling it. I saw a few tikis I really liked and thought I'd give it a go.

This is my first tiki drawing. Next one will be in 1-Shot. I ran a couple of pens dry on this bad boy - it'd just be faster with paint!

So basically - just take my compliment and shut the hell up!! LOL. :P :)

...wish I had more to post, all I have on my hard drive is the paintings you've all seen before.

I've been working on doing a monster t-shirt in AutoCAD....trying to export to Illustrator to color it....

[TINGLER]

Broman is makin me jealous. :D :)

[SinisterCustom]

Shaping up to be another KILLER art show guys!
All I've got for now is this drawing. I plan to do an airbrushed T-shirt of this design with a monster driving.

The talent here is humbling.... I used to draw alot, just started again because my son(12) looked thru my old portfolio and art books, and has got me backed into a corner... all good! Hopefully your stuff will help with the momentum... Thanx fer sharing everyone!

Ho!

[63CadGuy]

HOLY COW!
That is soooooo cool. Very nice! :)




My thoughts exactly!!!

[Broman]

Ok - enough ego stroking, I'm nothing special - else I'd have landed a gig doing this stuff...

But I am into the details that go into making the art piece - I love hearing what goes into making something.

Here's a closer pic of the details of mine...

[Jimmy B]

F*ck! Broman that is cool. :cool: :D
tikEK, awesome! I like.

I have been thinking about having this printed on some T-shirts

Two t-shirt designs I've been refining over the past week. The gasser was a take on old movie posters, and the Carson-topped smoothie started with a technical rendering of Mann's Chinese theater, and a recurring dream of fadeaway fenders.

Here are some greeting cards I have recently finished. I don't know if I have posted them yet or not. Things have been going so fast that its a blur.

[STIFF]

Awesome stuff everyone!

This is my first art show post. I've been practicing my striping and this is the first attempt I've felt was worth showing everyone...what do you guys think?

[1- shot slinger]

Nice work as usual everyone! There was an amazing showing of graphic talent this week!!!

Broman...amazing oil pastel work man!

tikEK...I love the vintage popart!

rollie...amazing lines man, and the door turned out awesome!

flyingpolock...the t-shirt design rock!

KCsledz...I love the greeting cards!


Most of my art lately hasn't been H.A.M.B. worthy but here are my lastest although they are still in progress.

This is a grayscale marker rendering of the H.A.M.B.'s TXRat's truck...

Hey 1-SHot,

What are you using to bring those sketches into vector?

I am always looking for something cheap and easy. I am trying to use AutoCAD right now.....it doesn't want to play with Illustrator and I basicly have no knowledge of Illustrator even if it did....

Right now I'm using the pen tool in photoshop to make the vector shapes, then I usually transfer the paths into Illustrator...I've been told I'm crazy fro doing it this way...but I seem to be more comfortable with the pen tool in photoshop for some reason.

by the way...awesome work Dan...your style is sooo cleeean!..and brush those are some awesome business cards!

[40StudeDude]

May as well add a couple of mine...pen and ink...both local cars.

First off, DAMN!!! This show gets better and better every week!!! A humbling experience lookin at everyone's stuff to say the least!!
And hey 1-Shot, your stuff rocks even more knowing you use the pen tool in P-Shop.... I was taught that way, but became more comfortable with the pen tool in Illustrator (sketch it out, scan it in, vector the hell out of it...)

Again, EXCELLENT show again this week!!:D

[KCsledz]

Everybodys stuff is top notch!

On the vector subject. I scan it in using photoshop, place the image into illustrator and redraw it so its all vectors. That is the method that I teach my graphic design students in my intro to digital applications at the University of Missouri, KC.

Illustrator has an auto trace feature but you have to clean up a bunch of stray anchor points when its done. Takes more time than redrawing it for me.

All I've got is a bunch of pencils and markers.:o
Would like to try it sometime.

1shot - yep, crazy way - sounds like a little double handling.
Illustrator has the same pen tool as photoshop.
just take in the scan and trace it out using you photoshop method in illustrator.

Either way make sure you post the end result of the camaro, nice work.
Reminds me of my old GM aus monaro i did in the same way...

It's called progression bro....

Why get all messy and blow your whole wad on media that gets all used up when you can use the PC and it never runs out of color.

Plus it can be replicated ad nausiom to infinity!


Brush - back me up here!


I know the question was rhetorical but man it takes just as much talent and knowledge...

O'course I believe that anyone can make art - you just have to keep doing it to get good at it! I went to college to do this stuff, so I got a lot a practice way back when - but when I first got to school I realized quickly I NEEDED to practice. There are a lot of talented fuckers out there who you'll never hear from, if you want to stand out you have to be able to sacrifice some major time to hone the skills.....I was too busy drinking my body weight in beer.....

Life a bitch, right?

Ohh well - I'll get over it. The life of a tormented artist - sheesh :rolleyes:

But seriously - digital art (giclee) ( ihttp://www.gicleeprint.net/abtGclee.shtm ) is nothing to sneeze at. It's as valid as digital photography - which was scoffed at by tradtional film photogs, but now is THE medium to work from. And it makes sense for all of the same reasons.

Take it seriously...uhh just incase you weren't joking.....

Wise words.

Its my experience (what little I have) that when you are doing stuff in photoshop, you still need a good "eye". You still need talent.

However, I still like doing stuff the old fashioned way....which will NEVER go out of style.

There is just something to be said about the physical movements that go into painting or drawing. That "dance" is cool......It puts the artist into a trance.

Best drug on the planet.




The computer can do that too.....but in the end the computer is just a tool, just like the airbrush (which is skoffed at too).

Use the tool when you need it. The more tools the better....obviously.

But if we liken it to automotive work,,, a good way to look at it is this: a vacuum guage is useful, but you don't use it to loosen a lug nut.

You gotta know when to use which tools for what.


I'm rambling.


Broman still makes me jealous. :D

I here ya Broman and have your back.
Digital art is just using another tool......such as a brush,pencil or pastel.
The only stuff I post here is digital stuff..... cause I am a lazy prick.I have little time to scan and my scanner is waaaay too small.I do as much traditional as I do digital......
Using a computer is is just another tool in the box.
But.....
I have seen so much shit done on the computer and traditionally that sucked it makes my head spin(not so much here,but in my illustration world.)
Too many think the computer makes it so easy......and there sooooooo wrong.
practice,practice,practice.....
Too many think they can scan an image and trace it out in a vector program.....no thought,no beauty.....mindless.
Art(any style or format) needs ALOT of time.It is a selfish business....cause you need to spend so much of your time by yourself.
A wise instructor once told our structural drawing class "Your gonna make a million mistakes in your careers.....better get started."
And don't get me started on the abstract fine art world.......Like Robt. williams once said "The biggest scam in the 20th century"

I apoligize for the rant now.
:)


Broman is a wise man

I have been working on some 32 Roadster castings. My friends say they are mini Wanlass's. - stanleywanlass.com


These are cast in Hydrocal - a smooth, strong art plaster, then finished with a blackened broze. I planon spraying a touch of clear to give them some added depth. I am happy with the finish and they appear to be bronze!

Thanks Broman ,TINGLER , Brush for the info.
It was an honest question, not meant to offend. I really dig the 'digital' drawings/art.
I'm going to check out some of these programs this weekend.
I've been drawing cars for 30 years , since I was 3. Always took art classes in school 'cause it was an easy grade...hahahaha. But almost exclusively with just a pencil and paper.
I hadn't drawn much in the last 8 years or so until I found the *Friday Art Show*. All the artists here have saved me and got me back into drawing. Also helped me try new things like airbrushing and pinstriping.
THANKS GUYS!!:D
Viva la Art Show!!

I am really envious of you "computer art" guys. I have done some stuff on corel draw (instrument faces, saw the ones I wanted, saw the price, after I stopped coughing, drew my own and put them on the existing guages it probably took about the same time as swopping them for new ones!) But just can't seem to get it right most of the time. I have photo shop but can't use it as I havn't had the time to learn but know I really must. The thought of being able to combine my hand done stuff with photos and other art really appeals. Any tips/help sites would be appreciated.
Your stuff just rocks.

exactly! Here is a sample of my roomates "digital" artwork a digital portrait of himself...first off its not traditional hot rod art...but he is way better than I, although he isn't into cars...so I guess he's not as cool...haha

It was all done in photoshop with a wacom tablet and patience!

...so as many others have said digital art should be credited just as much as traditional artists...even though you may not get dirty while creating the art...its still just as difficult if not more!

[sean72]

Hey guys,

digital art is just not pressing some buttons and bam! You have some art. I grew up like most of the artist drawing with pencils. When I was in school in the early 90's the computer was really starting to come on strong. I still had life drawing and illustration classes. When I illustrate on the computer I still use many of the techniques and ideas as I would use on a traditional illustration. The computer just offers way too many advantages with the ease of corrections, color changes, layers, special effects and many more items. Heck, I even draw something out real quick and scan it and redraw it in the computer.

Just recently I broke out my trustly old drawing table for the kids to use. Heck, I am kind of itching to get back on it myself...when I have the time.

You can see the attached images, the monster drawing going to the finished computer illustration. The entire Nova except the rims was all done in Illustrator.

that is a extremely talented guy, i thought it was a photograph first, altough i think it looks too perfect... handsome guy btw, looks alot like me :p
the truck done with markers is also beautiful...

and 40studedude, i'm off to buy some sharpies now... great work!
