I may be pushing the boundaries of what this Forum is supposed to be about, but things are a bit quiet here at the moment (I expect people are still busy putting the finishing touches to their latest project prior to posting their amazing results) so just to fill a gap I am posting the images shown below for the passing amusement of those folks whose interest in "car-related arts and crafts" is wide-ranging. Or to put it another way, here are some pretty (?) pictures to look at.
I've been doodling cars since I was a kid. I'm not much of an artist and have never had the patience to learn the subtleties of graphical presentation (i.e. "How Grown-Up People Draw Things Properly") but I've had lots of fun trying to come up with ideas. During a recent sort-out of a drawer full of car and modelling-related stuff I pulled out these drawings and scanned them and kind of organised them. So here they are, for what it's worth. No representations of real cars, they are all originals. Well I thought they were original anyway,

You're extremely talented Graeme ! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Awesome work. Looks like a few OEMs may owe you some royalties..... I see a few Oldsmobiles in there, a Pontiac or two, a Ford Tarus, Renaults, perhaps even a Suzuki. 😎

I did ask them, but they all told me to b****r off (although Renault did give me a pencil. With an eraser on it. Were they trying to tell me something?)
Ah well, we penniless artists struggle on somehow.

so creative, well done Graeme. Quite a few could have made it to the showroom stage if given a chance.

Greats drawings Graeme! It seems, we shared the same passion when we were young. Just this year I brought some of mine from the old country, will check in the basement... I also collect original sketches from real car designers, though don't have many as they are very expensive.
PS: too bad, I only brought few ...
