Need Help! Need to See Brush Painted Pin Up Girls on Cars

I'm doing a 63 Chevy truck for a guy and he wants pin ups. I have never done one before and would like to see others to get an idea of how the finished product should look. I think in his mind he sees the girl painted like the Mona Lisa with all of the paint blending for lights and shadows but I see World War II nose art in my mind. This will be done with brush applied One Shot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bud.

paint some old sailor jerry tattoo girl on there.

 

these are from a guy named jime' litwalk, it's one shot.

 

those are cool! ^^^

 

Thanks for the pics.

 

Here's what I ended up with. I'll let the Hamb be the judge on the looks.

 

Works for me.

 

I like the one with down syndrome

 

That made me spit up my coffee.

 

HAAAA! Dude, you're killing me!!

 

I was having a crappy morning until I read that...... thx

 

holly shit thats funny. Painting some bitches is hard. Next time use a projector and trace them.

 

Did this for a friend/customer Trey Ganem's Garage in Edna Tx.

 

It's called "nose art"

 

maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but here's my airbrushed pinup on my 40 Ford. My favorite part of the car.

 

Here's one I did a couple of years ago, using one shot...Those early girlies are fun.

 

Hahaha! Thats great!

 

Brian Papa did these for me when he was still in Atlanta.

 

I made the mistake of painting the likeness of my girlfriend on the hood of my truck:



Things with her went south, so had to take care of that "blemish" in my paint:



Moral of the story, the fink won't double cross ya!

 

Awww. Thanks for the kind words. It's cool. I asked for it. I told the guy that I had never done one before now and he still wanted to hand over cash so it is what it is. I did my best and that's all that matters to me. Practice makes perfect. Now let me see your work. < Kiddin.

 

Faces are a sumbitch! the secret that I was taught in art class, never do a full straight on, or side view, always have that half turn thing. Helps a lot with proportions. Also, the way I do mine when I'm striping one, I find a photo of a gal in the pose I want, then trace the main lines to paper and transfer it to my design. So much easier to get proportions right that way!

 

You didn't offend me. Your original post made me laugh too. Like I said earlier, I asked for the Hamb to judge knowing it wouldn't be sugar coated. No worries.

 

Thanks for the info.
