Got some new stuff for this week.

I hate that I missed the discussion on digital artwork last week. And thanks to all the guys that agree that it does take talent to do artwork on the computer. I have all the respect in the world for the guys that do the mechanical artwork. I wish my skills were up to par w/ some of the guys on here when it comes to striping, drawing or painting. You guys are amazing. here is a new piece for this week. And thanks to Rich for posting some work I had done for him. here is a clear shot of it also. Glad you liked it!

oh yeah, redraw/trace in Illustratrator is cheating.

DAMN!
Hidden, as usual, love your stuff.

Empire32, the pinstripes on the bug are killer. And yes, I almost choked when I saw those wheels.

[HIDDEN]

Burny, 1-shot slinger. Those sketches are awsome. Thats exactly what I'm talking about. I need to dig the pencils back out and dust them off.

[Burny]

Very awesome Burny...I especially like the ones on the tan paper....what kind of paper is that?

Thanks 1 shot...The paper is just cheap pressboard. I had cut a bunch up for mailers for a project and ended up cutting 'em too small, so I have a stack of 'em laying around and figured I use em. The pro use stuff called canson paper...

Hidden, I dig yer Illustrator work. Great perpective and really nice and bold. I've done a bit myself, but I gotta admit I draw, scan, trace...

Thanks HIDDEN...I'm really diggin the dynamic angles you are portraying in both of the pieces you did. Awesome work as always!...and Burny I'll have to check into that paper and give that style a try!

i do scan a lot but what i do is draw over top of the images. w/ the trace tool i spend more time fixing things. i just draw in the vector program and it eliminates 90% of the jaggedness that come along w/ the trace tool. my sketches are pretty rough from time to time so that is the way I have found that works for me. i need to just polish out the sketches. might try that for next week.

An old Civil Defense helmet.

A miniature surfboard made of urethane foam covered in fibreglass.

A few new front license plates with a 3-D eyeball.

Thanx O & K...keep at your stuff...remember, it took me many, many years to get even half as good as my mentors...

BTW...all my illustrations are done the "old-fashioned way"...pen and ink and a good eye (that's all I've got left!!!).

Pardon the wheels, but it's a concept for a client's ride... a take on lowrider meets street custom meets good wheel sponsor.... It's an older piece, but I figured I'd share it anyway.
And Hidden, I agree... trace tool in Illustrator IS cheating. I strated using the pen tool in Illustrator after losing much of my dexterity to a degenerative nerve and muscle disorder... So now it's sketch, scan, pen tool... a bit more involved, but sometimes technology's pretty good!
BTW-- GREAT work as always everyone!

[HIDDEN]

flyingpolock - awsome! all i can say.

its great to see that you have overcome something to do the art you do. my hats off to you.

and its not that i dont use the auto trace tool. its just not that easy in most cases. every tool has a use.

Humbled by your compliment! I agree, though... there's a time and place for every tool... and that auto-trace monster is certainly a specialty tool...
Thanks again, and keep up your incredible work!!

What color was that to start with?
It might look cool in a wrinkle finish--- copper or gray?
looks bad ass in bare metal... maybe just clear it and then stripe it.

thats cool she found you a couple... I've been watching for another- never thought of egay.

looks cool Rob-

You HAMB artists are a very talented bunch!! Great art show this week.

Joel

[SinisterCustom]

Whoa!
Those are BADASS sinclair!

[50dodge4x4]

Wow, great Art Show, as usual!

I finally got a chance to finish up another Desk Top Art Work model. This one is # 76 in the series. She's all boxed up and will be heading for Roothog's to be used as a HAMB Drags give away for a door prize or something! If you want a shot at winning this one, you have to be at the HAMB Drags and be the lucky person. I will be there myself and will have a Certificate Of Originality if the winner can catch up with me (and I don't forget it...)

This one measures about 6" long, is about 3" high and is about 3" wide.

1962 Pontiac Bonneville. I did this sketch to a guy who has original Bonneville at this moment. I didn't want to do too complicated modifications to this one.

A few photochops I did for Dan, who is off fightin' fires now.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c80/Danjc/53003.jpg

No body mods. Your regular old Cragars and some sidewall sanded Sears specials, say that 3 times fast. Oh and a mild drop.

One with a "flaked" top.

[Zumo]

I have to admit I trace/redraw as well. But I don't use the "trace" tool. Not sure I have used it be for. I use the pen tool and use my anchor points to manipulate the lines. It's not easy and take patients. Over time though I have learned to do some things with out redraw and just draw "free hand" with the pen tool.

On this one I "traced" the main outlines and just eyeballed the rest.

Nice Job Nick, those are awesome!!

[Django]

Wow, there is some wicked cool stuff here this week!!

Logo I did for Kevin's and my shop. We are both into WWII aircraft and history and also have much respect for the men (and women) who went off to war (some never to come back) and came back and helped to give birth to hot rodding as we know it today. Plus, Kevin was an aircraft fabricator in the Air Force (still is in the National Guard) so the mark fit well. The wing motif was influenced from a WWII maintence group insignia.

gracias, the line work is done by hand in ink, then scanned into photoshop where it is then seperated. i used to seperate them by hand, but this is much faster and more cost effective.

nuthin new in pics this week, how 'bout some old stuff ?....my son's desk

what kinda of brush do you use to lay down the base letters? ive tried doin that with a few different brushes and i cant quite figure it out.

anyways, i had some stuff that i did this week that i was gonna post up, but forgot what day it was, so, i guess ill wait till next friday.

[rollie]

[quote=farmer_joe620]what kinda of brush do you use to lay down the base letters? ive tried doin that with a few different brushes and i cant quite figure it out.

Most of my lettering brushes are Mack series 189. but I'm not sure if I letter like "normal", I took this photo just foolin around 1 day and it shows how I hold the brush and work from the bottom of the letter to the top. I've never used a maul stick, just didn't like it so never wanted one . A lot of guys letter top to bottom , but for that kind of font, I always go backwards.

[SYNFULL]

late I know but I locked myself out of the hamb yesterday.

[BLAKE]

Blake, that piece is COOOOL! When the hell did you start doin that stuff?!:cool:

Thanks... I guess I started last night! I projected the Odd Rod card onto the canvas and outlined it, so it was basically paint-by-numbers... not exactly art, but something I wanted to try.

[sko_ford]

wow

[Zeke]

Looks good for the first car Tim!

I wanna play to . Can't draw, not much else I can do here, so I guess some digital work will have to do.
