1930s Gas Station

Did this some time back. I apologize if I've already posted it, but in conjunction with my earlier post this week I wanted to share an example of one type of background I could use for a FEW of my car drawings.
After revisiting this file for posting today, I already see some things I'd like to add or change, i.e. adding a ceiling lamp in the office and possibly changing the buildings stone siding with a different type of texture.
I did research the type of vehicles for that decade, the type of gasoline pumps that were common then and the general style of building structure.
The rest is just my limited ability in drawing...

Well I like it Ron. Love those yesteryear themes you are dooing.

Lovely image, Ron. I like the cool garage attendant. You're right about the office light.
Bob.

Thanks Larry and Bob.
Yea, Bob, when I go back to drawings after a period of time, I ALWAYS see stuff I need/want to change, add or improve in some way.

Wow Ron. You did not need any examples on what to do, you had already knocked it out of the park my friend. Even if you posted this before, this was worth a repost. First time seeing it for me. Very well done Ron. I always enjoy seeing your work.

Reworking toehold stuff is one of the big reasons I like working with Xara. It's so easy to edit your work.

Again, great job Ron,

Paul
