Jon020 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Blimey Pete, you've kept that skill quiet! Very nice... not a duff Duff at all... did you keep this skill going, or did it all go technical and architectural? Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted November 23, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2011 Blimey Pete, you've kept that skill quiet! Very nice... not a duff Duff at all... did you keep this skill going, or did it all go technical and architectural? Many thanks Jon...i guess it went the way of the parallel motion...but I still keep drawing everyday if I can in my sketchbook. Looking back at the drawing now I can see a few perspective issues with the cabside of the 47! Still waiting for you to do a Deltic in pencil... Really enjoying seeing the variety of mediums on this thread 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Still waiting for you to do a Deltic in pencil... Yes, it's on the list... near the top in fact. Just trying to prioritise all these little tasks that keep getting put off by life in general. As for the perspective... yea, ok.... I see that now, but you're criticising the work of a 15 year old whose work has subsequently become astonishing; I think a little perspective is needed in the reviewer here ... as I certainly need to do when I look back at my old works.. a big bucketfull of salt is always on standby.

M Graff Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 I found these two oldies, 15 maybe 20 years old. This was a sketch for a commission. I have somehow lost the pics of the finished work.... Rather funny to go back and watch the older pieces as well.... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I did many sketches on location in pencil outline and finished them at home with a mapping pen and indian ink. This was completed just before the rail service ended in 1959 but was started a year earlier. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon020 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Okay, I said I'd show something of mine. Please be gentle... Ok.. so why do I like this... apart from the obvious, it was the train that I spent my 40th Birthday on travelling from York to London... well done for braving the crowds at 't cross! What a day... thanks for the memories (must put my photos on my flick account!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke_T Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Rich B, you're obviously a Man from the Midlands, I recognise Round Oak and Netherton off hand, and that one of 9603 looks familiar. A couple of my own pieces: None within the realms of the quality as shown elsewhere in this thread, but I thought I'd share... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hadyn Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 In 1996 I was Assistant Verger at St Michael's Church, Aberystwyth and ran the car park from 8am to 1pm every day. I had a sketch pad for the slow times and bashed a few out like this one: 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted November 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2014 Oh, go on then... three more from me, all South Wales scenes, again adapted from photographs. I forget the location of this one, Cwm Bargoed or somewhere, but it's a pair of 56xxs on a coal train, oil on board. The second one is Crumlin Viaduct, acrylic this time, and based around a Colin Gifford photo. Finally, back to oils for this Barry Docks scene: Some of us just can't get enough trains! 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class 74 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I've made a couple of pix with 3D (Poser) models. I also created texture maps for some 3D passenger and freight cars. The steam tram is complete made by me in Hexagon. All pix are created in Poser/Bryce plus Photoshop. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
