Haven't done much art for fun so I claim I did this for practice.
I don't do 'toons normally but wanted to give it another try.
Vector done in x3.
Feel free to critique.
Thanks for looking
Cool, I had no idea you were into all that. I love that kind of stuff. My dad was an old hot rodder, so I grew up around hot rods and dragsters and that whole scene. Make sure you share some pics from the Brush Off!!
Thanks Paul, I'm going to use this ‘toon on a panel for this years "Brush Off".
It will be hand painted and lettered and striped (haven’t figured out the design yet)
If your not familiar with this type of get together I'll give a description.
Sign Painter’s, Pinstriper's, Illustrator’s get together for a Panel Jam they bring a panel roughly 18 x 24 (any piece of custom art really any size, they even do striping on toilet seats) lettered striped 'tooned or what have you.
