Managed to get a few hours drawing in last week - I'm a bit rusty. I tried using Bristol board which is lovely to draw on - but not the best at taking the paint.
The car is the terrific GN Vitesse - a cyclecar chassis coupled with an enormous 8.2 litre V8 Curtiss Aero engine. In the background is the Anzani GN trials car.

Rocket Test Rig
Here's a quick sketch of what's in the workshop at the moment. It's the test-rig that will be connected to the biggest rocket ever fired in Britain. The huge tank will be filled with HTP and pumped into the rocket by the Cosworth formula 1 engine.
I did the sketch in pen, then photographed it and added the colour with the iPad. Works pretty well as a process - saves booting up the old desktop and scanner - I'll be doing it again.

Audi R18
Playing around on the iPad. It's important to say this isn't all my own work as I started with a photo (or perhaps it was a render) from the press release announcing the car. I then redrew it with Inkpad, worked into it with Artrage palette knives and finally added grunge in Photogene

Watercolour car sketch
Another little postcard-sized watercolour of a fantasy racing car - sort of Indy looking I suppose.

watercolour car sketch
Another sketch for someone who missed out at Christmas. Pretty pleased with this - it's definitely a car I'd like to own.
Nearly lost the picture this morning. I was taking it to the windowsill to take a photo, it slipped off and went behind the skirting and under the floorboards! Luckily it was only a few screws holding it down and it came out just fine once I'd dusted off the cobwebs. I must get round to attaching the skirting one day.

1925 Maxim Speedster
I was commissioned to do a sketch of this enormous Maxim Speedster - must be quite a blast to drive.

I'm doing a few more of these postcard-sized watercolour sketches for people who missed out on the Advent ones - let me know if you'd like one too.

land rover
Been a while since I've sketched anything from life so today I briefly braved the sub-zero temperatures to make a quick study of this old land rover.
