Sketches

Ron Smith · 10-30-2006, 08:41 PM

I did this the other day just to see if I was still able to do it. It's been a while since I had the time or patience. Some of you may have seen it already. Fetterly thinks the Luger is boosted, but I didn't pay much for it.

I just finished this one and posted it on the P.38 forum for the other Nut Jobs.

I will be doing some different ones in the near future.

Ron:

Very nice indeed and a wonderful talent to have. If it weren't for drawing interior floor sketches for my appraisals I would have no artistic talent at all.

Thanks everyone,

If and when I can locate my sketch box. I'm thinking of doing larger and better quality stuff and having prints run off. I did these with a single #2 mechanical pencil.

Jim,

I am planning on using photos in the future, mainly for more accuracy in depicting equipment, etc.

Wonderful gift you have there Ron

You could certainly do illustrations for the IMA website and catalog! Your sketches are much better than theirs...

Gifted artistic talent Ron you should put a book together. I cant even take good pics much less draw anything. It seems to me you cant learn it because I have tried.
