It took a long time coming, but it was worth the wait....
 

So, there was a thread ages ago title, 'Chocolate o Brian does it again...... this basically showed the handy work of Andy (COB) ,As soon as i saw the piece he had done, i knew i wanted him to draw my car..... so i contacted him and added my name to his long list..... little did i know i would wait 'quite' so long...!!

The pictures i sent thim were these two...

Along with a basic sketch type things of how i wanted it laid out, i wasn't too bothered about the overall cost, as i wanted the piece right, rather than cheap.... although for the hours that have gone into it, trust me, it's still stupidly cheap!!

Andy finally got round to starting it, and sent me progress pictures along the way, i have 39 pictures, but i won;t post all of them...... i am delighted with it now it's arrived, it's on A2 grainy cartridge paper, so very firm, and not bendy......

Enjoy.

So, many thanks to Andy for yet another masterpiece..... like i say, it took a long time, but was worth the wait, it's almost a shame that just a few weeks ago i decided to sell the car, which i have now done, the new owner will take the car away on tuesday, oddly the picture arrived the day before the new V5 with it's new number, meaning that he'll now be able to tax the car when he collects it.....

I hope you enjoyed the pictres, it'll hang in pride of place alongside the colage of pictures of my old Mini, i thought about getting Andy to draw that aswell, but i think i'd be retired before i got it...LOL!!!

thats a good bit of skill drawing! thnk i may need to invest in one of these at some point!


TOP job!

Top Work,

Have to agree, it's amazing!
Do you do this ofr a living? If not, you should.

How much do you charge per drawing anyway? Wouldn't mind getting one done

That looks amazing, would love to have something like this.

No mate, they take to long to earn anything from them.

££ depends on what is specifically required for each pic.

You'll have to excuse the flash glare in the middle of the picture, but this is what it looks like now it's back from the framers........... i'm well happy!!!
