Sketchbook Wednesday #1

 This is the first of a weekly series sharing sketches from my sketchbooks.  Yes, this one is a day late as I intend these posts to go up every Wednesday. 

sketch pen ink classic car Mercury
1947 Mercury Convertible Sketch

The first sketch was done using a Tombow Fude pen for the line work and gray markers for the tones on bristol smooth paper and features a 1947 Mercury convertible from a reference photo I took at a local car show.

sepia pen sketch Chevy truck
"Abandoned 1950 Chevy Flatbed Truck Sketch"

The second sketch is done using brown (sepia) pens and markers.  I intended to do most of the line work using a small brush pen but it turned out to be dried out. The linework is done with a Faber Castel brown pen, the tones were added using Tombow markers all on bristol smooth paper. The subject is an old Chevy medium duty truck with wheels stacked on it's bed from a photo I took at the Erickson Ranch in Wallsburg, Utah.

hot rod ford sketch pen
"Vintage Model A Ford Hot Rod Coupe Sketch"

And the last sketch features a Model A Ford five window coupe hot rod equipped with a V8 engine with dual carbs. This sketch was done using a Tombow Fude pen for the line work and Tombow gray markers for the tones on bristol smooth paper.  I used a vintage photograph as my reference.

So, keep an eye on this blog in the future for more sketches posted every Wednesday.
