    Hi Guys,

    I was contacted by Todd about a week ago and asked if I would do a somewhat special drawing for him of his new F430, and I accepted to have a go on that, since it sounded like a real challenge...so the gamble for me is to successfully finish this drawing and hopefully to end up with something close to what Todd had in mind!!!
    You better prepare for a loooong thread with lots of updates, because it's going to take a while to finish this piece!
    This drawing will be somewhat different from the ones you've seen from my hand earlier, I guess you'll notice that as the drawing evolves....

    Enjoy.... :):)

    PS. Sorry for this first crappy pic. better ones to come later!!!

    Best

    I am glad to hear that you made it!!! :)
    I'm really blushing now....I'm not more of an artist than you Hank, and further yet from being one of the GREAT artists, although I do feel honoured by your comment thanks :)
    I sure would have liked to see how the true GREAT masters did progress to their work!!!

    I'm affraid the next update will have to wait until it gets morning here, ....it's really a poor light I have for taking good pictures right now, and I think I have to take some detail shots of the drawing for the next update!!! :)

    It's 11.45 PM here now, so I'm off to bed soon, and will be back with another update tomorrow morning!!!
    Sleep well guys and thanks for your kind compliments :).... Good night!!

    I think Carsten has found/created some sort of photoshop program that scans a picture onto a computer and does a step-by-step process of drawing it....no person could actually draw that!



    .....only joking Carsten, amazing work! (as always) :)

    Hi Roel, :)
    Yes.....Now it's morning....Yaaaawn :) ;)
    I think I was a little behind schedule with having enough sleep lately, so I really needed sleeping long hours today!!!

    Anyway here is next update: Gambler 3.....
    Thanks to those extremely, incredibly detailed and nice pictures Todd provided for the making of this work, it will be VERY detailed....please note the front wheel/tyre/brake disc assembly.....and believe it or not, there will be even more details visible on this rim and the tyre......not a lot more, but more.....
    I really love these pictures Todd!!!

    I know what you guys will think now; "Hey.....what's going on here"???
    What I don't know is, if you guys can figure this out?!?!?
    I told you I was not getting too much sleep lately, and I really need my sleep to be able to concentrate on drawings like this!!! It is always a gamble for me to do these drawings and I know it can go wrong, although it does not happen very often!
    Please folks, don't ask!!!!.... let's just move on shall we?!
    Here we go with another attempt at an outline....I know it looks crappy still, but it will be better.....at least I will try!!

    Hi Carsten,

    Is this sort of like an idea that you and I spoke of regarding Rachel - only involving different angles? Or are you starting over - from a different angle?

    Cheers, Hank

    Hi Hank, :)
    Actually I was trying to make people believe that I F****d up the drawing ( I did not) and had a new go at a start, sorry I couldn't help it!!!

    But since you're asking.....this is intirely Todd's own wish and idea of a drawing of his car, and I think I will leave it up to Todd to reveal how it should look!
    You'll get a mail from me shortly Hank! :)
