Hello everyone, Once again I will share with you the making of one of my Ferrari drawings. And once again I'm drawing for my buddy, Roel Bieshaar (Dino_208gt4) from the Netherlands, and this time I'm doing his recently bought Mondial! Earlier I made a drawing for Roel of his old Dino 208GT4, but shortly after he got the drawing, he decided to sell the Dino and buy a Mondial instead, so now I have to make him a new drawing of the Mondial as well, and to make a nice partner for the Dino 208GT4 drawing, already hanging in Roel and Lenny's livingroom.....he promised me to keep the Mondial..... at least until I have finished the drawing Here we go with the first pic......a very roughly outlined Mondial!!! Hope you like the angle Roel ???......And the new aerodynamic "disc wheels"???? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Man.....it gives me the same feeling again as with the Dino. It is so excited to see your own "baby" growing on paper out of your hands. Can't really discripe the feeling........................it's just amazing.
I think so I was just about to send you a link to this thread.... and then I saw that you had already replied
My mouth goes all the way from ear to ear right now...... and I'm blushing a little I guess.......I'm happy you like it buddy, and I'm proud to make you a second drawing
Thanks Jurgen, It's far, far from finished, and in real it looks a lot more rough than I can show on a photo @Roel, Thanks, so this time I could perhaps be lucky enough to see the car myself !!! I'm looking forward to the Holland trip later this summer!!! Rims have now been added to the drawing and it now looks more realistic ....also the front spoiler has been "shaped" a little.......but It's too dark here now to make decent photos, so I guess you will have to wait until tomorrow with update 2!!!
Absolutely fabulous - you capture the subtleness of Mondial line and proportion far better than photographs! Brilliant
Yes I know, and I can't wait I just snapped this.....hmmmmm rather poor quality photo!!!! Update 2: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks a lot Russ No... I really don't.....*Blushing* I don't think I'll be able to keep up with the new Canon EOS 350 D .....anyway I do my best!!! Thanks again for your compliments!!!
I agree........ and what you can't see on the photo is that part of your disc-brake behind the front wheel is visible on the drawing........not much, but it's there
THe photo is a little shaky!! But still gives an imagination of what have been done (i'm sitting right next to it... and it looks very nice now .. .Also the drawing has grown a lot further as it is now )
lookin mighty fine... your line quality with the tech pen is exquisite! that perfect balance between drawing whilst retaining perfect technical accuracy... fantastic.. GT dont you just looooove herring-bone interlocking brick? Done my share of it and i always find it quite a trick to keep the pattern even and in perspectinve at the same time... looks like you really got the hang of it... congrats...
I think I say this every time. Your ability to get the shape down, correctly proportioned and kept in perspective utterly floors me.
@Grant, Thanks a lot! My lines always starts very light or weak, (because I don't draw with pencil first) and then they are drawn up again with one or more layers, which make them look more black and sharp!!! Also the line can change from light to dark by simply pressing just a touch harder on the pen while drawing a line! Using that technic, I can make numeruos different nuances with one and the same pen....a line can start completely black and then become lighter and lighter towards the end! Perfect to make tiny details with All it takes is a steady hand and some patience! Thanks again Grant, yes I do love to make patterns with bricks or simply the pattern found on a tyre, and like you say, it can be quite a challenge to control both the perspective and at the same time to hold, or keep the pattern even or to make it follow a shape/figure... whatever the subject! @Aureus, Thanks a lot! I have done these drawings since my early teen years, so I've practised a lot so to speak, but even then I do sometimes make mistakes in my drawings and have to start all over! Most mistakes however, are made in the outlines, and so it can take a couple of attemps before I hit the right line/propotion/perspective all the way round! I never start to "fill out"/color a drawing before I am satisfied with the outline!
