Car Drawings


A few weeks ago I recalled that I liked Japanese cars a lot. I could stare at car pamphlets for hours. I even cut a few car pictures, glued them to a carton base, and put them on my desk. I cannot remember what exactly I liked about cars, but the recollection made me want to draw cars again.

I have never been good at drawing cars, so I took this time to improve. I sketched a few, collecting mental rules on cars.

I started off with wrong proportions: the window height is too close to the door height (see the sedans on the upper-left corner). Next, I tend to draw narrow cars, making them look cartoony.

Right now I still have difficulty drawing modern sedans. They have very complex curves (compared to the cars I drew so far, which are blocky).

Do you like cars? What do you think about cars? Let me know in the comments below :)

Cookies and Warm Milk

I started drawing this on the train on my way home from work. I had a vivid image of children happily eating cookies and drinking milk, so I started drawing. I looked for photo references afterwards, so the final look is a bit different from my mental image.

(I wondered a bit why I had this image; I never had this experience in my childhood. I think one likely reason was the comfort I had at home before this while recovering from a mild fever. I sure hope to see this scene live someday...)

Let me know what you think.
