Using an existing drawing as basis for a new drawing

[Ron Duke]

On occasion, I will take a drawing I've created and use it as a basis for a new, similar drawing. In this case, I've drawn a 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup by using an existing drawing of a 1949 Chevrolet Suburban. This eliminated having to draw the front, part of the cab, wheels and tires. A lot of work already done for me.

Of course, this requires the new drawing being at the same angle/view and also additional research to draw the various aspects of the pickup that aren't represented in the original drawing.

Oh yea, and the Suburban lowrider I posted earlier was developed from the Suburban also.

Re-purposing. Excellent time saving idea.

Well, GM did the same by creating a shared platform for different models. Nice pickup, Ron!

Thanks, Gary and Boy.

Both versions look great Ron. Have you ever hot-rodded an older drawing?

[Ron Duke]

Thanks, Ross.
Sure I have. Here's one example of a 1940 Ford Coupe. I posted this a long time ago, possibly in different colors.
