Default Charcoal drawing

Anyone like to have a charcoal drawing of their car? I know a young lady in NJ that does a fantasic job. Her email is
79CamaroDiva@comcast.net
my vette:



I'll be framing mine...looks like about 16x20..its a good size drawing.
I was well pleased with it (and I'm picky!)

She did a nice job. I think you'll find a lot more people are working in Photoshop or software that looks like drawings or turning color into black & white.

Default $$? Charcoal drawing

I paid $100.00. But she matted it all out for framing and shipped it to me in a huge, very solid flat container, packed really well.
I'm having her do my Camaros as I get them finished

Haven't come up with enough money for Debbie though hehehe

nice drawing. You can do it with photoshop but a hand drawn image
has more feeling to it and makes it more personal. I play with photoshop, but love hand drawn, love to see the other one when you get it

Default charcoal drawing

Agreed..its all about personal taste..It was neat having someone else take the time to draw out my car vs. using the photo-tools they have now. It gives more of a personal feeling of satisfaction when the girl in this case worked on this for several days making sure it was "right" Kept in touch on her progress, and made sure everything was as advertised before she shipped the picture to me. Its just neater than a photo picture.
