Hey, Ramone's is where it's at, my friend!

Finally got around to drawing this art exhibition on wheels and I'm so, so pleased with how he turned out!

Normally I don't do black and whites of my art because it just doesn't look that good but this time I decided to go in for the gusto... color was actually an afterthought I added as a bonus

Paintjob inspired by "Radiator Springs 500½" short, yet with turquoise blue as a homage to a beautiful gem of the Southwest

Hope you like!

little sketch of my MODERN oc, Cassandra. Yes I know, old-fart car-lover Gin with a newer oc. For those who don't know her… short origin story. When I was having my car serviced at the mechanic last summer I met this fascinating older guy who was newly moved to town and he showed my mom and I some photos of the dream car he finally was able to own, a 2008 Jaguar X Type

and… I fell in love at first site. First time that's ever happened with a new car and me. I think it was because that year had chrome and so much luxury it reminded me of classics

Part of a collab I'm working on with @/trilysseart (not on Tumblr)

Reblogs appreciated! ❤️

Oops, meant to upload this and looks like I didn't!

Learning how to do much more interesting types of character arts thanks to the inspirations of two very talented idols and friends <3

Was thinking of adding weekly / biweekly aggie.io group draws to my Cars discord server 🤔 so I just did a quick test doodle in it since I've never used it before!

It's kind of hard to get used to after using Clip for all my art now 😂

Not sure if it's going to happen though 😔 people are worried drawings are going to be desecrated by others. Genuinely, with our audience, I don't see it happening. Not being naive. I just don't see anyone doing dumb things like that

@mennorino

your new OC based on your IRL car is cute so I wanted to attempt sketching her xD

thanks for sharing your doodles with us in discord!

[queen-ch3rry]

seriously, I just went down the rabbit hole on google and I love this stuff so much <333

Hey I started animating not long ago, I thought it would be easier to make my comic

(I wanted to draw everything by hand at first then I tried the same on my phone)

But sadly my Characters look kinda ... Stiff? They aren't that curvy like cartoon characters but I don't know how to do it

What can I do to give them more life and let them look more like cars characters?

This Porsche is killing me with his cuteness, I want a Porsche so badly

Hi there! Thanks so much for the ask <3 It's funny you mention this topic because for the past few months.... I've been trying to figure out the same thing!! While I like how some of my older art looks, it feels rigid... like they're just images of cars with the eyes and mouth put on them. No "Pixar-feel in terms of "energy" and "emotions." I've been working on learning how to capture more energy + create my own style

Something that helps them look more "alive" and "energetic" is not following the severity of realistic lines. You can keep proportions to a point, but "warping and bending," I've learned, shows life

I have not done much beyond doodles, but here are some examples that I hope help you!

this dude is squished up with tires pointing inward for kind of a fun vibe. I altered my style around last year to include eyebrows because they add emotions!

And here, his body is kind of in an arc shape. Makes him look solid yet not rigid! Kinda... squishy xD In the (not long ago) past, I would've had him as a rigid box and the only emotion - HOPEFULLY - being in the eyes since mouths are a small annoyance I'm trying to be more flexible with

So maybe bending and warping your character's shape and giving them emotion in their from tires (since that's like their hands!) can make them feel more alive to you

In "Cars" Luigi is very expressive with his tires, as is Mater! It makes them look and feel fun

Another tip is tilting your character's bodies!

I didn't do this for ages, sadly. But thanks to the inspiration of some talented friends I'm grasping it and implementing it into my sketches

This one I'm working on now for a small project, and I am very proud of it! It incorporates tilt, expression in the eyes and mouth, and altered body shape so she's not such a stiff subject. Her headlights turn inward (not realistic, but makes her cartoonish and cute)

I am in love with how this turned out so far and it excites me to think of how my work can keep changing and improving by expanding upon this style!

Of course, if you DO want to keep proportions a bit more real, here's another example that I feel has a Pixar-type feel and isn't stiff, even though I kept the "bendier" shapes with arcs at a minimum. I feel here the mood and expression comes across best in the eyes

As someone who is still learning day by day, I'm can't give a "one size fits all, this is definitely the secret!!" bit of advice... but I hope this can help!

Don't be afraid to have fun roughly sketching your OCs until you hit on a look that just clicks in your head and feels right. That's part of the process till you find the style that makes you happy. And a helpful hint: simpler styles are going to be easier to animate at first!

Feel free to reach out if you ever have any more questions!
