Should I draw My fellow opponauts cars for $$? I am untrained and am only in my first semester of art school. would people buy it? would people want drawings of their car? If you want one they'd be worth $110 in materials and labor but for all opposite lock users the price is $55 indefinetly.

How much time does something like that take you?

Yes all day. Although if you want to do them for free that's fine too...especially for my wallet...lol. But I can see how this would be a good way to make a little extra cash

The one reason I would want to paint or draw again is to depict my car or others I like. You have a talent for this. Might as well make some money doing it. Do you only draw?

20 hours, thats why I'm unsure, becuase if I account for time in the cost it may be cost prohibitive for some people, but if enough people want it I could sell them for more reasonable price

Do it. I have friends that play an old school computer RPG. It doesn't even have modern multiplayer. Somebody I know still makes a decent bit of money drawing their characters in her spare time. Check out this time calculator to give you some idea of how you value your time, though obviously you have to go with what the market will bear.

What do you consider a reasonable price?

AthomSfere > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s 04/27/2014 at 19:37

Do it the web 2.0 way. Draw ones that interest you and the owner wants and then leave it open for a no pressure PayPal donation or something. Some will pay more than its worth, realistically some will pay nothing but give you free press...

Theoretically it would probably work out the best.

And when your done, post them to Redbubble!

You know I like you we should be friends. No, but seriously its nice to here someone else who thinks this. I use watercolor some:

50 bucks for a 9x12 drawing framed. thats cheap, if you go to an art fair you could get a 5x7 print of an automotive artistic photograph that took seconds to take and mabye an hour in processing for that price

if you added color, and did highly collectible cars (like 60's mustangs, 57 chevys, etc..) you can sell them on eBay.

ya but im not ready to do that level of production, Im thinking if I do it on a case by case basis for oppo users it wouldnt be so overwhelming

That's reasonable. I would say what the hell do it.

I think you should do it for money but if you wanted do to some promotional work for freer early on that's be pretty great?

Draw me a picture of my 66 GTO and I will tell you. (burgundy with Tri-Power.) plsz.

do you want me to draw your car and dont want to sound cheap? (btw id totally do that, I just want to make money anyway I can, if you cant pay I'd still do it just dont expect it quick)

I'd model/render/animate people's cars for $$$ if I could get anything done in a reasonable amount of time. 2-3 months per car isn't reasonable, but with two jobs and school on the way, there's not much I can do to fix that. Alas.

Dawww. It would be a pleasure being your friend. But seriously, if you have a talent/trade might as well put it to good use. If I come by money (college student, nuff said) I will definitely pay you to paint something for me.

Cool! Have you tried sketches? I find that quick design sketches make the most inspirational and sexiest drawings.

that is stunning! ya I'll totally do it, but if youre not paying me you'll have to wait for me to finish my current drawing. Is that photo of your particular car or a close twin?

Here is the engine. Neither is mine, but good representations.

I dont exactly need the engine if im just drawing the car but its nice to know so I can get the stance right

I say find someone who wants them, the draw and sell one. Why not?, you've been doing it for free this whole time right?

Used to own. Very close in everything except not convertible and not blue. Motor is the same and body style is/was 2 dr. coupe. (well, guess, that is the only way they came)

No big deal on the drawing, my Oppo friend, I cannot afford to pay now, so you don't have to spend any time on it. Just thought you might want some practice.

No, I can do it for you, Ive been wanting to do a goat anyway and Ive come to realize I dont have the wall space to keep all of my drawings

Denver Is Stuck In The 90s > Dsscats 04/27/2014 at 20:55

ya I know, I couldnt get that right, so I thought I'd just go with it. I was more worried about the engine that was only the second exposed engine vehicle I've drawn

Dsscats > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s 04/27/2014 at 21:08

No, thats actually pretty accurate. I sometimes see them with that kind of thing when people have increased the suspension travel.

I'd be interested in purchasing car-art like this! I love the Mustang lead-pic especially. I'd say it's definitely worth value! :)

do you have google plus? If so we can keep in touch, I gotta finish my friends drawing first then I can do your porsche. I would need pix from the angle you want it drawn though

I mean to draw it, I just saw your post about it taking you 20 hours and I couldn't do that to you. However this does prove my point that car guys are the best guys.

thats ok, thanks for the compliment. If you ever get the funds hit me up, I think I'll run an oppo special 55$ (half off)

yea I wish my money all goes to the above mentioned that what you get for calling a woman cheap:(

sorry about calling yo cheap, trying to make a joke over anything but voice his hard.

catkam623 misses his 944 > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s 04/27/2014 at 23:05

no I called my porsche cheap not you it was an extremely good deal so I casually remarked that I got it for cheap and I've been spending more on it ever since essentially going way over budget. You're totally in the clear sorry for the misunderstanding my wording was a bit unclear. Also I happen to be a man and just refer to my car as female.

Denver Is Stuck In The 90s > catkam623 misses his 944 04/27/2014 at 23:09

Sorry for calling you a girl then. you should call your 944 a cheap trick then because 944s are tricky vehicles

catkam623 misses his 944 > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s 04/27/2014 at 23:13

oh I don't care just thought I'd clarify. I was kinda trying to make a joke with that saying how you get what you pay for and the saying that a cheap woman always costs you the most in the end. That's a good idea though they're pretty tricky but I'd at least say worth it.

Zerofret > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s 04/27/2014 at 23:14

I feel like this is the best one out of all that you've posted. I'd pay you to draw mine, but i'm a broke college students so I voted for the free option.

Im gonna edit the post to say half off 55 bucks for oppo users forever, everyone on here is too nice to ask for a drawing free but, for that same reason no opponaut will pay full price for my drawings ever

Heyo, I'm not sure what your process is, but as a fellow art schoolian, you might want to think about scanning them and then dropping out the background. In photoshop there is a "level" tool under image adjustments.

For example these started out as paper sketches, but you don't see the paper (so to speak).

Just trying to be helpful.

Denver Is Stuck In The 90s > Milky 04/28/2014 at 00:24

I know of this technique. I was not trying to remove the fact that they are drawings on paper, in my opinion the paper is part of the art

Nice work. I used to draw, eons ago. A few of my favorites...the Diablo was from an old Pirelli poster. The McLaren was actually done with a calligraphy pen/ink. These are all, geez, 20+ years old. I never went to art school, or was formally trained or anything. I just liked to draw. Primarily for my own benefit, but I also found that for most people, they really enjoyed them as gifts. I had a few people ask to buy some, and mostly ended up giving them away.
