This afternoon I had a chance to draw another vehicle – the Corvair, to be precise. Having completed the penciled drawing, I took it into Photoshop and tried a few experiments with the warp filter. The first is using the “Wave” warp tool. The one below is using the “Upper Arc” warp tool. I’m testing out different ideas right now – and having a blast experimenting with new techniques.
I prefer drawing older model cars, because, y’know, they are way more interesting for me than all the boring stuff out nowadays. I think cars today are much more cookie-cutter than they’ve ever been. But I digress…
So what type of classic vehicle would you like me to draw next?

I’m on an environment-drawing jag. Here’s process work for a piece I worked on this evening. I used a photo for reference. After penciling the drawing in Sketchbook Pro, I took the drawing into Photoshop where I applied colors.
Original pencils (silly me forgot to switch to a new layer before I started in with colors):

And here’s the finished piece:

In almost all of my work, backgrounds are minimal to non-existent. I think it’s because I’ve always found them intimidating to draw. I’m hoping to gain more confidence in that area, and I wanted to share the process work on a recent background I created this afternoon.
I started with a photo found on the ‘net that I used as a starting point for my drawing.
In Corel Painter, I blocked out the linework by sketching it while looking at the reference image. After a reasonable facsimile was drawn, I took the design into Photoshop. Below you can see the original sketch on the left. In the middle I added a Distort transformation. On the right I exaggerated the perspective to give a more stylized look.
Once I was satisfied with the basic structure, I used the polygon lasso tool in Photoshop to block out the major parts of the house. I first start with the overall form, then move towards detail.
Here is the final version I came up with.
I tried a few color tests to provide a different mood to the environment. The middle image was the result of adjusting the overall tint color. The image on the right was the result of combining a color tint with desaturation; giving the house a more ominous look.
As I said, I’m not really too well versed with drawing backgrounds. But it wasn’t as intimidating to work on, once I broke the steps down. (Actually, it was kinda fun!) Drawing backgrounds *is* more time-consuming, though. This piece took me 2 hours to create. As always, I look forward to your feedback.
