Throwback SOTW

Posted in Sketch of the Week with tags , , , , , , , , , , on February 17, 2013 by Infamousjim

Here’s an old-school Sketch of the Week, this one is a design-based print I made back in College. This is a linoleum print and I still have two available at the $20 SOTW price. What do you think? Bonus points if anyone can guess what car is making the burnout. (Good Luck)Burnout

Not a brand new one, I’ve been too busy to create a sketch this week, sorry!  Hopefully I’ll finish two for next Monday. Is everyone done with their holiday shopping? You may not be able to get a custom drawing done in time for Christmas, but you have a tiny bit of time left to get a previous week’s sketch of the week or other artwork in time.

here’s a sketch from last year to hold you over…

Hi everyone,  it’s been an incredibly busy month and unfortunately my artwork had to take the back seat for a bit,  but I’m finally back and cranking out drawings and paintings.

Here is the sketch from my Facebook free sketch contest!

Also, here is the second TOW II painting that I’ve been working on for a while.

You’ve all seen a bunch of Mustang pictures, It’s time to let Dodge and Chevy throw their hats in the ring… I’m currently working on a painting of a Dodge Challenger SRT and one of a Chevy Camaro SS.  Here’s a taste of how the final drawings may look. Also, keep checking back for a second painting of the HotRod TowII.

 

Some background behind the drawings

We have a few more paintings coming soon, until then, here’s some insight into the process behind the works you see here…

All the paintings here start with many sketches, the sketches are not only practice, but they let me try different effects and techniques for each drawing to see what fits the subject and customer best.  Sometimes the finished painting looks exactly like my very first sketch, other times I go through dozens of sketches before I find something I like enough to put my name behind. The sketch gives the owner and I something to go on before I start working on the finished drawing.

Once I complete the painting, you get not only the finished work, but all sketches I created during the process as well.

Here are some Marker sketches that may look familar…
