Description
Had a sudden urge to draw the Alfetta last night. 15-20 mins; pen, marker and gauche; no reference.You can probably see the beginnings of a Lancer in the background, but I buggered it up. Plus the interweb was out and I didn't have a pic handy of 's new light setup.

I see the category as anime/manga at top, but I love the old style comic feel

Cheers mate, especially for the fav.
Heh yeah, figured I should go with "anime/manga" since that's the style I usually draw in (through no concious fault of my own I should add)
I really need to start using markers properly again.

Love how its comic book style, very intense! Alfas are very sexy cars, I can't wait for their return to the USA! I'm looking at getting a 1984 Spyder, I hope I can get it!
For no ref, the Alfa turned out fantastic! Great work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are indeed. Word of advice on the Spyder... if you have the cash, make sure the crank casting plugs are tapped in. The engines have a tendancy to throw them, resulting in low oil pressure. It's not a fun (or cheap) experience getting them replaced
As for the ref... I've got a resonable idea of how that car goes together

Oh, before I buy it the guy is rebuilding the car and fixing everything, paint and top and all.

being able to draw a perspective car within 20 mnt without reference, that's nuts

Well, my family's had Alfas since I was born. This one I've had for about 2 1/2 years now and I love it to bits, so yeah, I've had some practice drawing it 
Cheers mate

That took you 15-20 mins? That would take me wayyy longer. Guess it goes to show how good you can get if you practice.

Cheers mate.
I think using a pen all the time helps a bit. Forces you to learn how to place lines where you want them, or at least how to disguise the ones in the wrong place
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Totally right. I'm starting to practice that now, actually.

Hehe, you never fail to amaze me with your skills, especially when it comes to drawing cars.

Thanks mate. Well I've been drawing cars for far longer than I've been drawing people
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that might have something to do with it. That and you understand cars. I really don't, so I'm afraid unless I got a reference for every little part of a car in front of my face, any attempt would be dreadful.

That's some mighty impressive perspective and detail!

Cheers mate, and for the fav

You should have sudden urges to draw Alfas all the time! Fucking sweet job mate, props!

I think it's frustration at having to pootle around at under 4-grand starting to break through
Cheers mate.

Wow...this is absolutely amazing!

...it's a good way of neutralizing the balance between understeer and oversteer... so does that make it three wheel drift?

Much like this bloke

Hells yeah... man I want his light setup
WES
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I want those too!
Btw, I'll have some new lights soon... put in an order for a Hella Halogen H4 conversion kit to replace the sealed beam head lamps (want to keep the originals to preserve them) They'll come with proper old-school yellowish All Weather H4's and they have a built in park light assy. that lights up a small arc on the bottom of the lens kinda like the new BMW "angel eyes" only Old-school

Nice perspective as always, mate. The sketchiness is hard to recognise certain things, but that's Nat out the window with a machinegun, right? Reminds me of that early car chase scene from Castle of Cogliostro.
Also, no reference? Damn. Your visual memory of mechanics like that is impressive by all means.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, that's Nat... and that was an awesome car chase
As for mechanics memory... I see the car every day, eventually you remember things (though I think I've put the side-repeaters in the wrong place... again

Looks good already and hope there are a more refined version soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cheers mate. I don't know if a refined version will come or not, I kinda like leaving these as sketches... less chance of me buggering it up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fair enough and cheers to you too.

Your sketch style is very fitting for this scene. Panoramic background, along with lines for motion reference and the other car (Lancer right?) emerging behind the Alfetta definitely conveys the sense of motion.
Would love to see it finished, with all the detail, gunfire, etc.
Is it me, or is the Alfetta chasing somebody down in a mall parking lot?
Nat+P-90+Wes+Alfetta = move over Fast and the Furious, the B.A.D. is in town!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, namely this [link] Lancer. It's been awhile since I drew the two cars together.
Not really a mall, I was thinking more a sliproad or highway off-ramp
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rough and tumble model. Rugged and hard to damage, saw an accident once that had a Lancer vs. a Toyota Altis, the Altis got its whole front caved in while the Lancer just had a busted headlight, LOL. They don't make `em like they used to.
Ah, all right, hope to see the final product.

Magnificent! The contrast and sense of movement is superb! Really really excellent utilization of sketchiness to convey speed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks mate. Heh, yeah, sketching with pen seems to be good for adding that extra layer of chaos
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Nice chase scene. Would be better if add gunshots and exchange of fire, with explosions and flipping cars.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, I toyed with using some gauche to put some fire coming from the P90, but it would've obscured too much of Nat's face. Maybe next time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. Actually a flipped car behind would be nice.

Dangs man, thats pretty good fer twenty min. The way you have created that feeling of intense action is really neat-o. Props be to you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cheers mate. I think that pen sketching is good for creating action, probably 'cause you have to work so fast doing it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Agreed, pens are a lot of fun.
