1909 REO Touring Sedan.
I did a search and I don't think I've posted this particular drawing before, but if I did I apologize. This was completed earlier this calendar year.
I don't remember seeing this drawing before. Really excellent clean looking drawing. I like the viewing angle you've chosen
Wow! Another beautiful drawing, Ron!
One of your best Ron.
Fantastic Ron.
It reminds me of the work of the late Parahandy. But that's probably just the chosen vehicle rather than the style.
I love it Ron. I just love those early cars. This drawing is truly awesome.
Well done!
Fantastic Ron. Particularly like the studded leather seats.
Just one issue, the left front mud guard doesn't appear correct?
Thank you, everyone.
Eric,
Good eye!!! I don't know how that object got on the wrong layer, but thanks to you it's been moved to its rightful place.
Spot on Ron!
Nice, Ron. I particularly like your button and tufted upholstery look.
Thank you, Eric! See, with a little help, I can get it, sometimes...
Gray,
Thanks. I was anxious about how to go about doing the upholstery. Being the lazy person I am, I was very fortunate it came out the way it did; although I know others could do a much better job of it.
Wow this is just great. I am amazed at the amount of detail you have on this drawing. This looks to be one of the more detailed drawings you have done.
Ray
Thank you, Ray. I really appreciate you saying that.Quote:

Of course, to add that kind of detail requires a lot of research to find images of small objects in the drawing so as to draw them as accurately as possible. Can be very, very time consuming!
Hi
Very sorry to hijack this thread but it seems the only way I can post a msg or contact ANYONE re talkgraphics forum. I've been a member since 2014 apparently, and have just come back (yesterday) looking for some DPX help and can't find anyway, anywhere, to post a question. Also can't find any direct way to communicate with a forum administrator for help on this.
Would appreciate anyone's direction.. i'll watch this thread.
cheers,
Shannon
123seven, look at the various forums, maybe you can find one to suite your needs. If you chose a wrong forum it's no big deal one of the mods can move it to it's proper place, that way you do not need to hijack someone else's thread.
And click the "+ Post New Thread" button at the top of the forum you chose to start a new thread. Don't forget to give your thread a title that captures the essence of what you're asking or sharing.Quote:

I must admit, I prefer the "original" pastel green shade. It seems to me to be more in keeping with the time period ... but I've no idea why it seems that way. It's probably not logical to assume they used that colour then.

Here are alterations with the colors displayed in accordance with Wikipedia's Hex numerals for the colors you mentioned. Also, I added a lighter version of "teal", as the original seemed so dark.
Will you look at that! I love the burgundy one!
I thought the color you used in post #8 was teal but, upon closer look, it's more of a grayish blue. To be honest teal is too flashy.
Just to clarify what I said earlier, some of the cars of that era were brightly colored, but very few. Mostly they were black, as black was least expensive to make and use, but when they did do colors they were of the darker shades.
So, the one with burgundy is period correct and the teal ones not, right?
Generally speaking, yes. However, I don’t know the exact policy for every manufacturer at the time. I wouldn’t know how to find information that extensive.Quote:

I decided it would look a little more interesting if the front wheels were turned.
as always a bloody masterpiece =D> =D> =D>
I agree Ron, I like the wheels turned.
Thanks, Big Frank and Gray.
Ron,
I do not like the wheels turned as much. IN the other drawing the front tires show depth because you see the tread and side of the tire but with them turned I feel the tires give a flat look. I think the original drawing has more detail.
Ray
Thanks for your observation, Ray.Quote:

Now I see that was stupid, whatever I say is heartfelt, so I will say it anyway, your work in this thread is stunning, the attention to detail, the extras, like the reflection in the windshield and the matching lady with the parasol and hat are just so perfect.
A burgundy one for me please, Ron!
Bob.
Keep the 3D comin', Mr. Ron! The eye for detail, shading, all of it...I just get drawn into these...(no pun intended, but I'm suppose it works)
Thanks, Hseiken.Quote:

Better?
P.S.
Don't worry about the color. I can change that to any color needed/wanted.
