Time for another in my 8x10 acrylic series, this time my own 1972 VW Beetle. I’ve christened her Sibylle. Taken from a photo of my own.

High Rollers (Coloured Pencil)
Further to my recent project where I recreated an ad while illustrating a vehicle from the Movin On TV series, http://opticalodysseys.blogspot.com/2020/05/freightliner-ad.html I am hoping to create a piece in coloured pencil following the same theme. This is the start of it, the White Freightliner is just about complete. The episode I am basing this drawing on was from season one, and that episode was titled “High Rollers”. The final rendering will depict this truck and the W900 of Sonny and Will and the two main characters, Sonny and Will, as well.
Daydream (Complete)
Thanks again to Erin Mercer for modelling and to Nathan Cyprus for his expertise as a photographer. I added a roe for interest and settled on Daydream as a title. Acrylic on masonite. 24” x 18”.
Contemplation (WIP)
Based on a recent prep drawing this is the start of my acrylic on masonite. 24” x 18”. Model is Erin Mercer. Not sure if I will stick to the title or change it to something else, we’ll see.
Chevy Titan 90
This one is complete. I made an ad out of the drawing as well. Coloured pencil on Strathmore Vellum paper. 11 x 14.
Chevy Titan 90 WIP
Another coloured pencil project, this is a depiction of a Chevy Titan 90, cousin of the GMC Astro 95. Trucks made an early impression on me and has stayed with me ever since my childhood fascination with them. 11 x 14.
Ayrton Senna - 1991 F1 World Champion
This one is home and cooled I think. Graphite and Colored Pencils on Strathmore Vellum Drawing Paper. 11 x 14
A New Ayrton Senna Work
I managed to start on a new portrayal of Ayrton Senna. This will be a collage with a couple of head images and his MP4/7. The pen drawing of his car is from 20 years ago and I will recycle it into this image, likely in colour.
1969 Kenworth K-100 in Pencil
A small drawing of what I think is a ’69 K-100 because the grab bar is short and there is no stepladder behind the cab door, only the foot support under the door. My favourite era is basically before the Nineties, especially when Cabovers were plentiful. 7.5" x 5". Pencil on paper.
Ein Kunstwerke
Another experiment with digital work. This image was made from several individual images composed together and then stylized with photoshop.
Digital Vette Completed
Had some time today to complete this. Added the emblems, steering wheel license plate, tweaked the rims. Included a shot sans wheels just because it looks neat, lol.
