sin would be a beautiful job to do full time: D

No, A4 is my preferred size! Only job!, no, I have a regular full time job and just draw in the little spare time I have so only a few hours a week :)

Well good luck with that, I'm sure it will turn out spectacular if you are willing to put in the effort. Your F-16 was my first fav on this site and I expect the next one will be better than that!

I thought that u used bigger paper.
Is this your only job?

p.s: thank you very much for the add and fav.
~Boss429:iconBoss429: May 9, 2008, 12:11:37 PM
Thank you, I like your work also, very impressive.
The paper size I usually work with is A4 (29.7x21cm) but occasionally use bigger A3 (29.7x42cm).
I prefer the smaller A4 size because drawings take less time (around 15 hours) but the bigger more detailed work like the A3 size VW beetle commission took probably 60 - 100 hours!!

Hi Cody, thanks! well, did a fairly quick hot rod drawing which I'll post up soon and there's a Mustang that didn't really go too well :(
It was the last one I did on Daler Rowney heavyweight paper which I have used for years but have now changed to much smoother Bristol board which I love, not sure why but it just didn't work out so will end up as 'unfinished'.
As for aircraft, none in the pipeline yet but I'm sure I'll get round to it, even if it is just so I get a break from drawing cars! :)

Wow! Impressive gallery! Compliments!

Your gallery is unbelievable. These are the sketches to pencil more beautiful than I have seen. I wanted to ask you a pair of things. On that measures of sheet you work?? How long do you employ for doing one of it?
~Raptorguy:iconRaptorguy: May 8, 2008, 8:18:15 PM
Your work is top-notch as always there Alan, can we expect to see any new projects in the near future? (possibly aircraft)

The '66 is a nice car. And I can see your point about your roads.

Cool. I raved about the new Mustang when I saw what it was gonna look like and still do like it but guess I'm a classic man at heart, don't think I'd ever buy a 'new' car!!
With you on the other fasty's too, just that a '66 is a little more practical for Englands small roads and garages :)

Anytime again!^^
Your pics are really cool!
I'm a very big car-freak and love good shots and drawings of them.
*Jbak:iconJbak: May 2, 2008, 5:05:53 PM
Yeah, you and me both as far as the Boss 429 is concerned. I did manage however to get a 2005 Mustang GT. But I would give anything for a 66 2+2, 67 fastback, 68 fastback.....well you get the idea. But you know I know a few people who would probably give anything for your 56 VW Bus.

No problem. Been a big fan of American muscle since I was a schoolkid, as for a 429, hell I wish!!
if my lottery numbers came up though you could say I'd be in the market for one :)
I currently own the old '56 VW bus (photo in gallery) but got it up for sale as I'm on the lookout for a '66 Mustang fastback...

Thanks for the add to your friends list. We appear to have the same likes in cars. Do you own a Boss 429?
