Cars Again

As I mentioned in the beginning of my blog – eons ago – I used to like to draw cars. Most of these were from my imagination at the time. The other day I stumbled upon France Belleville's site 'Wagonized' via the Moleskinerie site. She has done some drawings of cars that I found really fascinating. Most are pen and ink with some watercolor or colored pencil added. I really like France’s technique so I thought I would give cars another try…and I can see that I will need to practice a lot!


We had a classic car show in town one Saturday night so I walked down to have a look. There were cars of all kinds . Restored classics and supped up hot-rods and customized cars. Here is a drawing of one of the many Cobras on display by the Cobra club.

Here is one you don't expect to see - a Studebaker with a supper charged engine!


Some detail studies of the Studebaker engine.
These were fun and as I said I need to do a lot more before I will be half as good as France. But the fun is in getting there.
