There are a few things that I can’t stand to draw. One of things I hate drawing are police officer hats.
All those weird folds and creases, and they all change when the perspective changes. So I made the brilliant decision a few years ago to stop drawing the hats altogether when I draw a police officer.
Done and done.
But another thing I hate drawing are cars. So imagine the terror I felt when I recently picked up a freelance gig drawing…yep, cars. Specifically classic cars. I thought about turning the work down but I thought it’d be a good thing to challenge myself. I also wanted to make some money.
So I went to the library a few weeks back and picked up a few HUGE coffee table books featuring classic cars. I wanted the drawings to look like real cars instead of drawing them from memory. I also wanted to draw actual makes and models as opposed to generic looking vehicles. I surprised myself with how much fun it was.
I thought they turned out pretty good.
