    They're good, a little flat, but would go great as a series in your office someday.

    Christian, good work! Not the best, not nearly like Bugattiarts, but I would be proud to have them on my wall. I especially like the 308/288, whatever. I can't tell what it is, not a fault of your drawing, but because I don't know the differences between older models as well. Keep it up!

    I think they are what Van Gogh would paint had he been alive today :)

    I really like them, the simplicity of them :cool:

    Very stark (bare, or blunt) - in a good way. I'm partial to the 2nd and 5th of the series.

    Try painting on "found objects," and you just may corner the Ferrari Folk Art market.

    But, don't change your style or method of applying paint to canvas of any kind unless you feel like it.

    Noone should tell you to stop Christian ;)
    I'm not a Rembrandt or Van Gogh myself... but I still like to paint.... No matter what people might think of my paintings :)
    As you say, it's a good way to spend some time... and I relax a lot while painting :)
    I like your paintings... I haven't dared to try to paint a whole car yet ;)

    Paint what you love, and you'll love to paint. Words that i live by...
    My fave is the last one - a 250GT? almost a graphic-poster quality to it.

    Great work. Good luck and keep posting your projects.

    yes 250 gt but not finished (5), and also a 250 LM, (2)
    yes "Paint what you love, and you'll love to paint" smooth words and good
    representation of what i like.

    during many years i tried to paint, nobody for help, only my evaluation for my works, quite difficult. But the passion for Ferrari was so important that
    i tried to give all this passion on painting. afther i tried to do others things
    Boats or Corrida painting

    here links, last pics.

    Simple, but very unique in itself.
    The 250 SWB is sweet.

    my preference is the 360 modena GT because it was hard to draw the
    car in curve with the right "derive" , i mean the rear car view in speed and also the front car for touching in one part the piste, i spend more time on it.

    i draw only front car, rear, or profile view. For me it was the first time i tried to draw near a 3/4 in front view.

    Your style has a nice basic touch. There's really no detail in it, whatsoever. I don't know if you do that on purpose (look at Bugattiarts' stuff for detailed drawings), but it has it's creative charme. Perhaps you could do a little more in emphazising the car's shape, by put in a little more contrast in the body (color wise).

    Your cousin is obviously an exceptional artist. Great colors.

    thanks GTE, detailed or not detailed it s a big dilemma for an artist.
    every one have is personnal touch, personally in black pencil at first it
    looks detailled but afther when you put colors it deleted a lot of part of details.
