The
items below show details from completed projects. My
first love as a young boy was drawing cool cars.
Automotive illustration > It is all in the details. Knowing what the difference
is between a 1957 and 1958 Chevrolet is so important. Then
also is to make a design that appeals to a broad range of
Chevrolet buffs. Thus is the task of delivering a piece of
automotive artwork.

Final art found the girl edited out to allow more

Make it POP! Colour
choice is just as important as the line art. The goal is
for a rich, vibrant design.
It always
starts > with a sketch. Great
illustration has to start somewhere. A sketch conveys what the
customer desires and how I am interpreting it. Once down on paper-
it is straight into building the illustration as vector artwork.
Only 5 spot colours. But
with halftone blends it looks like 8.

wish to see more, just
call or email me for specific automotive illustrations.
Eventually
it becomes a finished artwork. I
prefer to build my designs as mechanical pieces, that is to build
colour separations as it develops. It really saves time later
when running films.
