Google-Eyed Hot Rod

Did I really make that large of a mistake in perspective to put one head-light so much out of line? Yeah, I'm afraid so, but he's so cute I decided he needed a little color and a home here in my blog. Maybe I'm a closeted cartoonist? Hmmmmmm.

  1. I agree he is too cute not to post, and the dodgy headlight makes him look cheeky!

  2. Agree - great sketch/painting and I'm not sure that I would have focused on the headlight. There is a certain amount of wonkiness that makes our work so much more personal. Wish I could remember that when I'm being hypercritical of my drawings.

  3. I think it looks fine, gives the old car character... perhaps there was an accident, or maybe a rust spot that caused the droop of one... or it's "Creative License" and exactly what you planned... I LOVE it.

  4. It's great! I love the yellow shading on the side of the car.

  5. As a kid I had this book of car illustrations. Mostly cars from the beginning up to the 40s. This drawing very much makes me think of that book. Fond memory.
