Drawing

Was bored over the course of Friday and Saturday so I decided to draw Josh's old Polo GTi (smoothing the bumper and de-badging the grille. I didn't put the details on the lights etc because although I'm good, I'm not quite that good, the picture would have been the right way round and smaller had Photoshop not closed itself due to low memory, you'll have to make do with this. You'll have to rotate it to be able to see it, I'd be greatful of your comments. Thanks - Tom

Something like that, all in all it probably took about 4 or 5 hours, I have to be in a certain mood though.

Very good mate, it is indeed a valuable skill- one I think you've mastered. My sister does similar drawings for people of their cars.

Some good sketches there, impressive and also nice to see that some, even with the access to a PC still opt for pencil and paper! Always nice to see some proper old skool sketches!

I remember the days when I was a lad...(this is going to be a long story...!) we didn't have any of these fancy PC gadgets and none of these Photoshop...we did everything by hand! None of this photosshopping things just get out your pencil and some scrap paper and off you go...jeez do I sound old!

Nice one mate! I'm impressed.

I might have to have a crack at it now! (I like drawing... Just don't have enough time!).

Glad you like it Josh, I was quite impressed with the final turnout, but then I never cease to amaze myself, feel free to check out my other ones on the link I posted.

I find drawing quite relaxing when you start, crack on the music and just drift off, or I do anyway

Hey nice sketch...

Would you mind if I was to finish it on the computer?

I'd like to add wheels and colours...
