Thread: Austin Mini

  1. #1

    Default Austin Mini

    I missed submitting something for the XaraXone Wheels show so thought I'd post a pic here. As you can tell, drawing cars is not "my thing" but I do my best The setting for this illustration is Ireland, hence the cloudy sky.

    Well if doing cars is not your thing then doing excellent cartoons is....I love it . I really must give you credit for showing me how to actually add colour to my pictures. I read your tips on your website a few months ago and only then realised how to do it - thanks . I still have the print out.

    You're more than welcome, Christopher, or should I call you Ballpoint I'm glad someone out there has read those tips. I used to do the linework in Xara and then add color in Photoshop, but I just enjoy using Xara so much that I figured out how to do it. It's lots of fun!

    I also like your style!

    If you were inclined to make it funnier, I'd suggest making the people bigger - so they are more packed into a little car. (Here's a pic of a stuffed car -- see, its funny )

    Thumbs up Re: Austin Mini

    I don't know - looks to me as if you've captured the "essence" (unintended French pun - sorry) of the Mini pretty well. If I have one comment (and I usually do), it's that the sky doesn't really look like it's part of the picture. Perhaps some hand-drawn streaks of cloud would work better. But, hey, who am I to talk? I'd be proud of that picture.
