Someone I know in Croatia is a physicist, but they made first some short stories, then several personal graphic novels, drawn fairly loosely, but very successfully, very impactful books.<br />While every pro I meet always has some excuse to not make personal work ("too busy drawing this or that"), this person has done so much in their spare time. I admire that a great deal. And it was work informed by a lot of actual life experience, which can sometimes be missing.<br /><br />I hope you do tend to that fire, however small. The results can be great and always rewarding.<br /><br />thanks again for writing!tozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127703988015097535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27926121.post-65571877242994491882023-09-16T21:09:42.243+02:002023-09-16T21:09:42.243+02:00What a beautiful piece.

I understood the difficulty of making money in comics industry early on and dropped my pen for good. But that fire still burns never leaves. You want to draw comics all the time...

Whatever can be done without drawing grids...<br /><br />All the cars I drew are from the same cheap Taschen book called Car Design-- not great for drawing since it doesn't open flat, but the only one I have at home-- and obviously my preference is also older cars. They look terrific! Maybe if I were more of a car person, I'd like the recent cars more, but old cars look great even to people not interested in cars. They're just beautiful objects.<br /><br />I did try drawing some very recent BMWs yesterday and found that missing the proportions slightly makes them into a Chevrolet, or some other brand. So it has all blended together. Also, I needed to learn a different way of sketching for them that I didn't need for the old cars. Bone lines, etc. So that part's interesting, at least. It's very fun to go from not knowing how to approach it at all to getting some basics in place.<br /><br />Reverse-engineering Lobster panels -- might be tricky since my process is so chaotic!tozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127703988015097535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27926121.post-48471815652187293992015-06-13T22:10:20.044+02:002015-06-13T22:10:20.044+02:00Thanks to you Tonci - I have been enjoying all you...Thanks to you Tonci - I have been enjoying all your sketchbook posts. <br /><br />Scott's book is fantastic; I sort of coupled it with a few great and cheap lessons from Marshall Vandruff that he has on his website to refresh the basics. It is scary how much Scott insists on doing almost everything freehand, but boy, does it help as an exercise. This said, I have the disquieting feeling that drawing straight lines or ellipses freehand <i>voluntarily</i> - it seems the best ellipses I do come out when I am not thinking about it - is never going to feel easy, no matter how much you try.<br /><br />I find it interesting that many of the cars you drew are cars I tried to draw or that I would like to. Is it just me or most contemporary cars (with the exception of sports cars, maybe) tend to be rather anonymous and ugly?<br /><br />I don't know: you see photos from the 30s, the 60s, the 70s and cars seem to harmonize more with the surroundings. Which reminds me that I have been trying to copy some of your panels from Get the Lobster while doing these car studies.
