I think it's time that I started a sketchbook with this great community! I draw mainly cars but I'm going back to fundamentals to learn more.

Hey crankshaft, didn't say welcome on the powerplant work in progress.. so "Welcome!"
Nice car sketches especially like the perspective and shading on the PS3.

Thanks Kodabble! I'm currently studying the fundamentals so I'll post those up soon. By the way, your artwork is great! There's a good sense of story in them. I really like the monster rising one - really has a nice menacing look to it.

First time drawing anatomy. Coming from a background of drawing mainly machines and cars these were very hard. Definitely need to work on my speed and getting cleaner lines.

Some very old drawings/rough quick sketches. I didn't pay much attention to the fundamentals back then.

A big car collage I did for my uncle. This piece is 22.5 by 28.5 in dimensions.

Some still life studies. My focus here was on rendering form using light and shadows, getting the values right.

The Ragnarark from FF8. Old artwork.

Nice to see some more branching out Shaft. Some nice diversity here.

The technical stuff looks really interesting. Keep the posts coming!

(Don't know why you couldn't see it before Crank. Hopefully you can see it now)

Everything's on the right!!!

It's like driving abroad!

Gesture studies. Working on getting more confident lines and accuracy.

More studies! Wohoo! These are actually quite fun to do even though they can get very technical. Right now I'm doing mainly studies but I'll try to get some personal work uploaded. I just wish I had the time!
