1967 Cadillac Eldorado - This is a near copy of a photo, experimenting with shadows and shading techniques on illustrator. Im particularly happy with the interior. It uses the same image format as the next few, this is more of a centre-piece.
1962 Chevrolet Impala - Really pleased with this - spent a lot more time than usual getting the reflections and high/low lights working well on the car, then put together a bit of a sixties film poster and car advert inspired background.
1950 Chevrolet - I was so happy with the look and format of the '62 that i carried it over onto this drawing. Love the shape of the early fifties Chevys - this has the lines cleaned up, and lamps mounted under the trunk for a more upmarket look.
Supervan Revival - '72 Chevy Van - Ive always loved the 70s custom van scene - muscle car inspiration with some practicality and a few stripes thrown in for good measure. This scene must be due for a revival soon! I really enjoyed getting the colours sorted on this image.
1971 Dodge Challenger - As much as i love Challengers in Vanishing Point white, seventies yellow just pops off the page better! The later '71 model had a nicer grille and hood vents, but ive removed the splitter and rear wing, cleaned the lines and lowered it over some suitable five spokes...
1960 Ford Starliner - I seem to be drawn to this model Starliner. Ive done a drawing of it, in a high contrast green at least three times now (one of these in my 2009 folder on here...). Its one of my favourite finned motors from that period.
1975 VW Polo / Audi 50 - I realised I hadn't done a watercooled vw in quite a while, so decided to do my favourite, the mk1 polo. Ive dropped it on some fuch style wheels taking influences from the aircooled vw scene. The rest is more muscle car inspired - bumpers off and duckbill added, lines cleaned up, and bright orange paint with a black side stripe to finish.
Mustang concept - Mustang concept, harking back to the style of the '69 model.
Really love doing front end drawings - mirror functions make using digital drawing methods such a blast!

The stealth coupe - Cross between a shelby daytona and a stealth plane. Loved this as soon as i came up with it, just couldnt get any wheels to work after trying over forty designs. Thanks to Gurmukh Singh Sagoo for his help!
1951 Chevrolet Fleetline - Started and finished this while trying to work on wheels for the stealth coupe. Was going to have a lot more chrome and big carbs poking through the hood but i prefered it like this. First flames ive tried on illustrator too!
