Ronnie's Automotive.

I went out to do this sketch for a friend on Sunday, but my wife wants to keep it for her...so it will stay at home (sorry James). Next time I won't show it to her and send it to you.

I drive by Ronnie's Automotive everyday (see older post), they have so many incredible cars there and the petrol station is so beautiful.

This is a Buick 8 1938, this car is HUGE! (look how small is this average modern car parked next to it) it looks like a boat; very impressive to seat right in front of it and draw it.

(I included the sketch before the colour)

wow, the color version turned out amazing! I especially like how you did that shadow in the foreground. I'll have to check that place out, so I'm sure I'll see you there!

- Thanks James! I really appreciate.

- Thanks Bufi! I wanted to create some depth by sketching the background in pencil and the foreground with a black pen.

- Stacey! get out of Dorota's cube!

Very nice.

Petrea Burchard said...

Your iPhone paintings are terrific, but I prefer this kind of work. I guess I'm old-fashioned. I really love this. And it's so cool that you got the Coffee Gallery building in the background.

Beautiful Stef. Amazing depth in this. The result is spectacular in spite of the issues you claimed to have had with the ink.

Lucie G said...

Just found your blog; it's really good!

BEN said...

magnifica!
your cars roar even when are stationary!
great sketches!!!!!

miguel taborda said...

wowhohohoho! sooo old-school

Tash said...

I'd wanna keep them too! Will you book include all types of your sketches?

Unknown said...

- Thanks Nathan.

- Me too Petrea, I love drawing, get my hands dirty and most of all, to get an original in your hands at the end, a unique piece, that's my problem with digital, you end up with a print out and that's it. But the Iphone is a great tool for me sometimes to capture color moods quickly, a good practice to think different.

- Merci mon Ami! now that I have your great secret ink, that won't happen anymore.

- Thanks a lot Lucie.

Thanks Ben!

- Thanks Miguel.

- If I publish a book, yes Tash, I will do a mix of traditional and a bit of digital. But when...I don't know.
