Your work looks really great! I love your drawings. If you want, can you give me some advise for my drawings to make them look better...?

Well thanks!
The best advise I could possibly give is keep drawing, and work from general to specific.

Those drawings in my gallery are fairly large, and they're done with vine charcoal. You can be off in proportion in a large drawing, and it won't be as noticable as a smaller one.
The vine charcoal goes on really easy, and you can sharpen it to a point with sandpaper.

I start with a quick & messy gesture drawing, concentrating on the movement of the figure first, then iron out proportions. I block in the shadows, then refine the contours, and add the details last.

I gotta say you possess a "Wowie-Zowie gallery!
Especially all the Funeral Coaches!
Did you see my prized toys on page 2 of my gallery
when you were there? See" "Don't Walk When You Can Ride"...
Thanks for your visitation.

Thanks!

The Precision Miniatures are a wonderful substitution for the real thing, and they don't need maintenance!

Yeah, That's true. Couldn't afford the REAL thing.
These are Die-cast metal and are about 14" long.
My very favorite Model-Year for a Cadillac Funeral Coach
is the 1965 or mostly the 1966! The 1959 is "wild-assed"!
I like all the 1966 Cadillac Professional cars, Like the
1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Nine-Passenger Limousine.....
That was a standard factory-built Limousine! I prefer it to
these silly-looking "streach-jobs" we see these days.
My dream Car is the 65' or 66' Cadillac De Ville Convertible.
The 1966 Cadillac's were clean in design for being "Land Yachts"....

I've only seen them twice, but they were great shows. I missed the last Nekromantix show, but we took our kids to see the Horrorpops. They were invited on stage, but they chickened out!
