    32 Roadster

    This is one I did a few years ago using pen and ink but a different technique. It drove me dotty (LOL) and I said I wouldn't ever do another one like this.

    That looks good Graham, it`s fascinating how dots can be formatted to form an image. I have a similar `dot` portrait of my old roadster that my ex had commissioned for a Xmas present in the `80s, the guy who did it was trained in Tech Drawing but got bored so got a job as a council road sweeper!...very talented...

    I too started as a draughtsman back in the pre-CAD days of the 70's. I was always doodling hot rods with my pens when I got the chance. I did a few of these dot images back then but they take much longer to do than drawing lines the conventional way.

    My old roadster by Ron Newton, early `80s. The glass is opaque which tends to hide some of the detail!...
