Had a need to draw a beer pump handle...

... and here's the result. I only drew the one on the left, the one on the right has a label that I didn't create.
I don't get enough time to draw these days.

Egg, I can feel the weight of it.

Nice.

Thanks Acorn.

That's just fantastic, Egg.

So, the pump you drew, then cloned and added a 3rd party label to the one on the right. Is that what you're saying? Any reason why you didn't create a label yourself? Not leading anywhere, just curious.

Wonderful, Egg! That's just an exact copy (minus the label).

What a great job Egg =D> I like mine with a Youngs label on please.

Correct. The label was supplied by the client (I say that losley as it's a freebee) and apart from removing the background rectangle on the pump labels these were high quality and copyright free to the best of my knowledge and therefore no need to reinvent the wheel.

However I required a beer pump handle. I don't draw, I'm not that good, I 'trace'. I find a reference image from the net doing a search for "beer pump handle". I used one from Alamy stock as a reference to create my own vector version. I don't believe this is breach of their copyright, just using their image as a starting point.

Thanks Chris, Boy, Initiostar (mines a John Smiths) and Gary for the blast from the past.

Attached the reference image & my vector.

Here's the pump images in the final rendering. Far to much work but hey-ho I'm retired now and can spend my time as I wish. I recommend retirement!

Great drawings Egg, I knew you were good but did not fully realize till now.
