robcooper's drawings

[robcooper]

this thread is just for my drawings that i have done over the last 3 years. You will notice that some of them are just line drawings - this is because i have only just become confident with colour and i still cant shade. Please say whatever you feel about them. Cheers!

The first pic is a '54 300SL Gullwing. I did this about 2 years ago.
The second pic is a Ferrari Dino. I drew it about 2 years ago.
The third is an '03 DB7 Volante. This was done about 3 years ago.
Fourth is a '53 Ferrari 500 A which i drew last year. yep the left rear wheel is wrong (sorry for blurry pic)
None of them are good drawings and the phots i took are wobbly.

[RazaBlade]

Some of these pics are really good dude.

As a side note to other members in the know, what would be the best way to colour these? Using pencils, or go as far as paints? If so, what type etc. Im just interested, as Ive always wanted to make a large car 'picture', but wouldnt have a clue what to do once I had the lines done (its not happening in the near future, thats for sure!!!)

[robcooper]

'Ferraris at Goodwood'. 9 hours, not yet finished.

[robcooper]

i dont really know much about colours im afraid RazaBlade as i have only just bought my first proper set. the ones i have are called Derwent AQUAtone and the others, supracolor. Sorry, thats all the help i can give. I am an amateur.

[tuk3410]

alot neater lines than my Koenigsegg!

[robcooper]

i have now added the wire wheels......and a B&W photo (looks like a sketch). Currently 10 hours......

the wheels look bloody awesome!!
keep going buddy

[robcooper]

the back one does not have enough spokes though i think.......and i am in the process of adjusting the tyre at the back which goes in too far......

[tuk3410]

ok
what you going to do in the background?

[robcooper]

im not sure, for me the background on the reference pic is v complicated. The drawing looks nothing like the reference pic but looks OK on its own i suppose.....

[tuk3410]

In the referance picture there are people ain't there. that would be very hard to draw m8. maybe find some car pictures that would fit in. it'll be hard to find a car that fits in the pictures though as the 250 GTO is in a league of its own.

[robcooper]

yes it is! i love that car!
yes there are bloody loads of people in the reference pic!

[tuk3410]

i would like to draw the new civic type r. its looks well good. ben said that he would draw it tomorrow. i might try it after i have drawn the sagaris.

keep going with the ferrari's at goodwood rob!

[robcooper]

here is the reference pic...i know, i told you it looked nothing like it!
it is a pic i took myself........

the only difference i can spot (might be blind) is on the photo the GTO in the foreground is taller at the back.
tell me what you think the differences are

[robcooper]

thats exactly what i think.

[tuk3410]

thats exactly what i think.
i think the one you have drawn looks better with the slightly lower back but i suppose if you want it to look right. anyway you can't really notice it unless you have a look at the referance pic.

[d-quik]

This thread is about cars.thats nice

[NSXType-R]

They're good drawings but the scannings are a bit light. :( If they were darker I would have enjoyed it more. :)

[robcooper]

they are actually photographs and i will get better ones later....
cheers
rob

[robcooper]

here is the ref pic.....http://photobucket.com/albums/f172/db9volante99/?action=view&current=FerrarisatGoodwoodreferencepic.jpg

[robcooper]

Please tell me what you think. Cheers!

very nice mate.
keep going with it!
have you drawn the people and the trucks in the background of 'ferrari's at goodwood' yet?

[robcooper]

not all of them, liam we should private message things like that as we can stir things up as you know.

[tuk3410]

i know i should.
but 1. its a forum about your car drawings and 2. i was trying to get people talking again as it was a bit dead yesterday

[robcooper]

While finishing my previous drawing, 'Ferraris at Goodwood', i decided to start another one. the reference pic was not a photo taken by me like the other one was. i have spentabout 3.5 hours on it so far, and i still need to complete the line drawing.I am going to colour this one too. please tell me what you think.

Cheers!

[:Exige:]

The first thing that strikes me is that the 250 GTOs in the picture have different shaped and positioned exhausts.

[persona123]

draw some pics of protons

[Birdman]

I like it. Should be great when it's complete.

[robcooper]

cheers for your comments.
update - 4 hours.
i have now done all the line drawing (and also tried to clear up the exhausts Exige) I will need to buy some new colours so next update probably in a week or so. I have tried to include detail as i could and i would say it is fairly accurate to the ref. pic.

tell me what you think, cheers!

[Zondaboy1]

[robcooper]

i am waiting to purchase a set of some decent coloured pencils which i will get next saturday. i allready have 2 sketches to complete but while im waiting for the pencils i might aswell draw all the pics i want to first. so, this is one i started earlier today which has had 3 hours put into it so far; however i dont know what to call this one. i was wondering if anyone could think of a name so here are some details that may help you decide.
Location: Zolder
Year: 1980
Drivers: 1st Pironi, 2nd Reutemann, 3rd N. Piquet and 4th Jones.
thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

nice drawing rob, i agree about the reflections, i think the car looks too bold..id thats the word but i think your'll know what i mean. I think the paper looks ok but in real life it may differ. keep going, its going to be very good when it's finished.

[persona123]

[mattobaros08]

[bensewell29]

[robcooper]

as i want to be a car designer i thought i should start doing some designs. this is my 1st design ever. it's a 30 minute sketch of a fiat 500. tell me what you think, cheers!

[mattobaros08]

Gosh they are mind blowing especially being a big fan of fiat 500 keep going you are on to something here p.s hows my astra coming along

[Ali Baba]

Good beginning!,I like the highlights on the'Ferrari'.

[robcooper]

mattobaros your astra just needs to be coloured....need to get some more colours so i can render my designs.....

[robcooper]

this is a 40 minute sketch i did of what i think the new Europa should look like. i tried a bit harder with shading but my camera doesnt really show it. please c&c, cheers!

[robcooper]

here is a drawing i started this morning, of Enzo Ferrari. It has taken 3 hours so far. please c&c, cheers! sorry for blurry pic.

i havent drawn the hair yet as im afraid ill ruin it.
( it is the second person ive ever drawn, the 1st was my gran for an art project in my first year of secondary school.)

[robcooper]

i drew the hair on. im happy with it as its my 2nd portrait. please c&c it, cheers!

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f172/db9volante99/DSCF3523.jpg

[Vaigra]

It's looking good so far. Just keep in mind the maximum width for inline images is 800px, it'd be better if you used the UCP attachement system more often. It'll ensure the images are always visible :)

[robcooper]

sorry ill bear that in mind. i posted it on a different site so i took the fast route and did it here too. Cheers for your comment

[robcooper]

[tuk3410]

yea!
shading is 10 times easier as well. I can't draw to save my life but i think my CCR drawing turned out quite good.
post some more drawings soon!

[robcooper]

Hi, i was hoping you guys could gather all the (large) pics of Juan Manuel Fangio in b&w and post them here. I have quite a few but i would like a larger choice. thanks in advance!!

[robcooper]

XJ 120 outline. 1 hours work so far and this will be shaded.....

[robcooper]

[robcooper]

Just started a 190 SL, I know the wheels are crap but ill sort that when i shade it.

[robcooper]

update...

[robcooper]

Finished.....I know the wheels still aren't fixed up too much but as i say I've always had trouble with drawing wheels.

please c&c, cheers!

that looks really good rob keep going with the drawings

[Ali Baba]

Robert Cooper,You're doing fine,You should consider giving free tutorials to some folks here!.
At This age You've some good hopes.

[robcooper]

cheers for your comment Ali, but i dont think I have the correct technique to teach people, i have an unusual style of shading. Here is a new one that someone asked me to do on anothre forum. It has taken 2.5 hours so far and will be shaded like my other few. The wheels will get done when it comes to shading the drawing. Please tell me what you think, cheers!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the nearest swooping panel that leads up to the headlights has been lowered as it was too high and through the perspective off slighty....

Hi Rob, sorry for replying to a dead thread but you should do some more drawings. You need to get back in the habit as you haven't done one are ages :o

[LotusLocost]

I wasn't spamming it, I was getting the thread going again because I think his drawings are awesome! I think he has improved a little bit and think he should show his talent on here. is that ok?

He can post some complete drawings to show his skills of course:)
But you can go back to page one and read through all the six pages...
See all the useless posts you and him made, msn-style..
And since then we have a set of rules written down in the FAQ section, where it's stated that a post without meaning and usefulness is forbidden..

[robcooper]

Hey guys
Although this is an extremely old thread, there is infact one drawing that i completely forgot to post - my latest, which i completed towards the end of 'O6.

That looks like the photocopy you did. Do you know what happened to the original?

[robcooper]

You're right, this is the photocopy - i uploaded this one as it is darker and you can see more detail :D
Yeah, the original is at home. I like to keep them clean and out of harms way ....:P
