Art & Inspiration <<<< Spooktacular FAS 10/28/16 >>>>

It looks similar to the work of an artist here in KC. Pretty cool!

Here are a few works in progress for the kustom kulture Christmas party in Witchita Kansas this December at Mcphail's shop artist at large. Had a massive turn out of artists and patrons last year. Had a blast!


Hard to get good photos because they are so shiney but they sure glow in person because of the layers of glaze

Lots of inspiration this week, thanks guys!

 

Love the title, love the artwork ..........

 

My wife and I got married on 10/31 , because marriage is a scary thing. My wife copied this , and is my favorite,off the FAS and put it on my pc as a screen saver . She says it fits us us to a t or should I say a Duce . Blue ( think it was done by Bob )

 

Good, scary stuff today! Here's a couple of my "Hollow Weenies".....

 

Gotta tell ya'll...Ive never drawn a whole bunch but this is one of my favorite posts every week....you guys are so talented. Well I decided to give it a try and have come to realize just how tuff this craft is...I did these this week while sitting around and have struggled with getting the perspectives correct, especially the tires and wheels and the hood on the 55 doesn't look correct...any how, Im not gonna give up yet and will mess around some more as I work thru the ones Ive started here. You guys impress me!

 

Winner of last week's FAS drawing for the "HAMB Drag Nationals" sign was xderelict. Congrats!

Happy Halloween!

 

wanted to draw something this week, but backed up at work...........trying to get things done with a skeleton crew.

 

..."Dark" and "Sinister"...

 

A few weeks ago I posted a cake cutter I made for my daughter here's her cake work . Sorry its not with the Halloween theme . But it was sweet tasting.

 

Rusty1 , Thanks for the catch on the Chevrolet Emblem. I must have reversed it when I added it to the wallpaper.
I corrected it and will repost it correctly. GOOD CATCH!!!

 

This has always been one of my favorite times of year - always look forward to see creation or two from Bob. Great stuff today!

Not spooky - a few more from the Hot Rod Hill Climb last month:

Make your 55' windshield wider and it'll make the hood look right hopefully that's enough explanation but if not feel free to ask more. Drawing cars is actually very hard to get right, and drawing a 32 is nothing like drawing a merc.

Best advice I can offer is to use good reference and to start out by "building" the car out of transparent cubes to make up the correct shapes. It helps you keep things in scale/ proportion and everything at the same angle.

Well that and keep going it's something that
you really only get better at by doing it a million times. Eventually you say "hey that's pretty good!" And then you try another kind of car or funny angle and you suck all over again lol.

That being said your drawings look great and I would absolutely encourage you to keep going!

 

Thanks for the tip on the 55...ive been staring at that off and on for two days now trying to figure it out but now I see what you mean...the hood is actually too long and making the windshield wider will bring the hood back into proportion...ill play with it a little after coming out of the shop tomorrow ....thanks again..........Ron

 

Franky probably drives a nail head. Nice pic!

 

Yeah it's all a little give and take. Maybe for next week I'll do a time lapse of me doing a hotrod drawing. I learn a lot watching other people work so maybe it'll be useful.

 

Indeed that is one I did a few years ago ......glad it works for you and your wife, and happy anniversary......

 

Love these Bill ...........very cool.

 

Great captures Mike ..........

 

Still my favorite post to go with my Saturday morning coffee! Thanks for all the contributions!

Halloween colors... Black and Orange. Nice subtle hint. Ha Ha. Looks tasty.

 

Better late than never...

 

benzjohn...ahh,..mucho better, looks rite now...jus tryin to help.
...everybody did a great job on this FAS.

 

Thrown in a spook. Happy Halloween.

 

Gives the trick-or-treaters something to take a picture with. Clearly Disney Cars inspired. Made with poster paper. Just having fun with it.

 

Pretty late for the show. My son wanted to be a motor for Halloween this year. Not entirely historically accurate but looked pretty cool I think.
