How long does it take to have my car drawn?

          Drawings usually take about a week to do.  I guarantee all drawings to be done within two weeks.

What do you use to draw with?

          After the car drawing is sketched in pencil, I use markers, colored pencils, stick chalk, and white paint to create the final rendering.  I often draw using erasers as well.

Can you do two different cars on the same drawing and does it cost the same?

          I can do two different vehicles on the same drawing.  The cost would be the same as a two view drawing.

What types of photos do you need to start drawing?

          Generally, a digital image is best.  Digital images are able to be sent easily over the internet and can be rather large.  Regular 3x5 photos tend to leave out a lot of detail needed for reference.  An ideal digital image size would be 8x10.

Do you sell prints of other cars you’ve done?

          No.  I only sell the prints and original drawings of the stock cars that were not originally done for customers.  No prints are ever created from previous customer car drawings.

Once I get my drawing, does it require any care?

          No long term care is needed.  Keep in mind that the chalks used on the drawings can be easily smudged and wiped off.  It is best to frame your drawing immediately.  Once protected behind a frame, they are completely safe.  All drawings are created on acid free paper.

I plan on upgrading some of the body panels on my car.  Can you put those parts into the drawing without them actually being on the car?

          Yes.  I often add stuff to the cars as the customer requests.  Some examples include the blue 1968 Camaro SS(the smoke  wheels  were not actually on the car) and the white 1991 Camaro (The hood, spoiler, wheels, and side pipes were not actually on that customers car).

Help on VIEWS:

There are basically three different levels of views which include “doggy eye”, “standing”, and “aerial”.  At these levels, you can choose any angle from a direct frontal view to a direst side view and any view in between.

Doggy view is basically viewing a vehicle from a dog’s perspective (very low view from the ground).  These are some examples:

Help on EFFECTS:

You may want me to draw your car in action which always looks fun!  I can make it look like the car is doing a sitting burnout, drifting in a turn, lifting off the ground at the start of a drag race, or even your truck launching off of a hill!  Look at some of my past works to get inspiration.  I can help you come up with ideas.

Help on PAPER COLOR:

When choosing paper color, you can’t go wrong with neutral colors such as gray or even a steel blue.  I offer white paper, but don’t recommend it.  The chalk I use stains easily, especially on white paper.  The blue and red colors do this the most.

I also like the dark greens and blues.  These darker colors really bring out the color in lighter shaded vehicles.  On these colors that are not so neutral, it is sometimes best to choose a paper color that matches the color of the car.
