mate where's the fancy canvas and colors :D;)

[p38arover]

How old are you, Leon?

[Slunnie]

How old are you, Leon?
Primary school Ron, don't be a grouch! :D

[p38arover]

That's why I was asking. I wasn't sure if Leon was an adult. We don't have many primary school members and one gives different feedback to our junior members.

[Shonky]

Love the shark mate! :D

[Psimpson7]

Good drawings, the Shark is cool!:)

[MickS]

Everyone's checking out leon's public profile!! :D

Nice drawings mate :BigThumb: ... I have a few drawings and canvas paintings I have done which I will try to scan on...

[Rangier Rover]

Nice work! I like the shark in particular. With a bit of practise you will have the Landy to perfection as well:D
Don't be put off by any of the sarcasm of some of us lot here either;)
I'll see if I can dig up some of my efforts when I was around your age. I never threw anything out so they will be down at my oldies house:twisted:

I like the first one. You can see the springs, and is that a swag in the back?

[Rangier Rover]

No .....Its a large remote Turbo fitted that also acts as a cabin heater:p

[Cap]

Nice Leon, keep drawing and practising. My daughter is also very good at drawing. What helped her a lot was drawing from photos so that she could get the details in. Its a lot of fun tho :)

[Jonno_G]

Hi Leon,

You're doing a great job with those drawings!

You've clearly got a good eye for detail, and you're doing well with proportions as well. You said that you're happy to accept constructive criticism - well, this is not really a criticism as such, but a suggestion that I have for you.

When I draw by hand I struggle with getting curves right - and I'm a draughtsman, so I draw for a living (albeit on a computer these days) - and my freehand circles are not as good as yours, so I found this helps:

Try to get hold of a drawing tool called a "French Curve". (Some of us will remember using one of these at school) It is a weird looking plastic template that has a heap of different curve shapes around the outside and the inside of it that you can trace around for things like wheel arches, corners of bullbars, etc. Anywhere a curve is needed, really. Once you get used to using it, I'm sure you could even use it to help you draw an octopus if you wanted to.

Anyway, I know it used to help me a bit when I did drawings by hand.

Thanks for sharing - keep it up! :D

[Landy Leon]

How old are you, Leon?
old enough to want a landrover (12)

[Landy Leon]

I like the first one. You can see the springs, and is that a swag in the back?
Yeah its a swag and its the landrover i want

[p38arover]

old enough to want a landrover (12)

Good stuff. I bought my first car when I was 12.

[hiline]

Yeah its a swag and its the landrover i want


nah mate go the 130 ute .......

more room for a few mates when heading up the bush :D;)

[justinc]

Oh dear.

Leon, you have a sickness:o.

I, too, started EXACTLY as you have. Drawing Landies, AND sharks, (which I was and still am nuts about:twisted:), and look what it has led to, a life of landrover worship and obsession!!!!

I now eat, sleep, work and breathe the green oval. at age 42:o

Good stuff mate, I wish you a happy 'landy diseased' life too, much like mine was at your age, and still is now:D:D:D:D

(PS, there IS NO KNOWN CURE:eek::))

(And, what Jonno G said about the french curves is great, I used one all the time during tech drawing and graphic design school, very helpful tool)

Great work Leon, no need for critisism, you draw because you enjoy it. Even if you were the only person to enjoy it is no reason to stop. I enjoyed to draw when I was young, (about 100 years ago now) my specialities were Series Land Rovers and EK Holdens. I'll see if I can still draw, then learn how to post it for you.:o Keep it up mate and show us more.

PS Do you really live at the airport? It must be hard to sleep there.:p:D

[Tombie]

Good stuff. I bought my first car when I was 12.

Model T? Straight off the production line :wasntme:???

That may well be why he's drawing so much these days:angel:

[Rangier Rover]

Hey Ron..... How about a drawing of your fist ride:D Make sure you get the detail of the timber wheels :p

[Shonky]

Make sure you get the detail of the timber wheels :p

With cars back then, I'm not sure they had that bit figured out yet! :angel:

[numpty]

PS Do you really live at the airport? It must be hard to sleep there.:p:D

Not really. I used to sleep there 2 nights out of 8 a few years ago. ;)

And keep up the drawing Leon, our kids did a couple of wonderful renditions of our Stage 1 on our Cape trip last century and we still have them.

[Hoges]

"I'll see if I can dig up some of my efforts when I was around your age."

did they have Land Rovers then? :angel: :wasntme::D

[MickS]

During my teens, (early 70's) I loved to draw in the "hot rod" art style - similar to this....STP stickers etc around the bedroom, along with Farrah Fawcett...:)

http://www.purplemoon.com/Stickers/hot-rod-sm.jpg (http://www.purplemoon.com/Stickers/hot-rod-sm.jpg)

I drifted away from that in later years, and stopped drawing totally. Getting back into it now.

Keep it up Leon...

No i dont live at the airport unfortunately but just around the corner

Here an example of what I said in my earlier post. My then 14yo daughter drew this referencing a photo... so it wasnt traced, just drew her interpretation. this way she has learned the art of detail, something that is hard when drawing just from memory.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2009/09/860.jpg

[hiline]

she's a very clever girl .............

nice drawing

[dullbird]

Stooge that's how I draw from photo's much easier...the only people I have drawn though have been from life...
I mainly draw animals from photo's as they usually don't stay still long enough:)

if I had my portfolio here I would of put up some of my life drawings but its in storage due to the up and coming move

[jerryd]

I think your drawings are great landy leon ;) especially the shark. You definately have some artistic talent so if you enjoy drawing keep at it.

My art teacher wanted me to go to art college etc and thought that I'd make a career of it, but I declined :( and got a job instead.

Thirty seven years on I often wonder what might have been if I'd listened....

I've scanned a few of some vintage pics for you to view, you can criticise all you like too :D

See if you can guess who the first two were meant to be

[dullbird]

good stuff there jerry:) like the first one

We have one portrait of Clara, our dog done by her and it is fantastic :)

I normally take a photo of my drawing then download the picture off my camera to the computer i find it is the easiest way.

[Landy Leon]

Here are a couple more drawings i did. I did the first one a long time ago.

[scarry]

Leon,
keep up the good work.......looks like you are already another Land Rover tragic:D:D;)
When we were kids,i was 1 of 4 boys,we drew pictures of Landys everywhere as it was the only car we had till i was about 12:o

Problem was we drew the pictures on the house walls,in the dirt on the side of the car ,etc & drove my parents crazy.

Drawing on paper didnt seem to be the go

I can still remember my father "and who drew this on here".....:(

No one,Dad was always the answer

And if i catch one of you doing it,watch out:(

umm my eldest sons name is also Leon,& i believe someone has a S1 with the same name,on here:)

[Landy Leon]

how old is your eldest son

[scarry]

how old is your eldest son

24 in about 10 days.

And he's not the LR tradgic,the younger one is,he's 22

[Landy Leon]

I saw a video on youtube called Leon Dancing and when i watched it i saw it was a series 1 driving arouund not me dancing:D:D

[Sleepy]

Look what happens when you search for Numpty on youtube.

Very clever.

YouTube - Numpty Physics: An Addictive Crayola-istic Puzzle Game!


(Kind of follows the drawing theme:angel:)

[Landy Leon]

That's right....that's our little S1....Numpty driving :D so.....should we ask why you were searching for yourself on youtube ;)
i was'nt searching for my self on youtube i was just looking at
all different landrover and 4wding videos:)

[Fusion]

Hi Leon ! Fantastic drawings mate :D. I don't mind having a little scribble myself . Not the best artist out but i enjoy it .

Let's see your effort Mrs HH.;)

[V8Ian]

Is there a picture here?

[V8Ian]

Is there a picture here?
I can't believe how clever I'm becoming, posting pictures on the forum.:o:D:cool:
This took me less than five minutes, but when I was a kid (well a smaller kid:angel:) I used to know how many vertical and horizontal bars there were in the grill, how many slots in the windscreen vents etc etc. The EK and FB differed in these areas.

[MickS]

Is there a picture here?

My dad's EK!!! CPN-779 :Rolling: Blew a head gasket coming up Mt Ousley, Christmas Day 1973 :eek: Ahhh memories...:Thump:

[Landy Leon]

Is there a picture here?
thats a good drawing

[V8Ian]

My Dad had an EK too, from about '66 to '69, it never missed a beat. When he traded it he discovered it was a well disguised ex-Sydney cab.:o

[dullbird]

ok well here is my attempt (drawn tonight)....it is only the second time drawing a car...car's aren't really my thing but you have given me the inspiration leon:) this was not drawn pencil to paper rather than tablet to monitor.

I'm still trying to find my stuff from the 70's and 80's....may have to go for a reproduction :eek:

[Bytemrk]

Great drawings Leon,

I'm slightly less artistic than a house brick... so I'll post something drawn by my son who is about your age.

He drew this about a year ago:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Then messed around with it with Photoshop and ended up with this:

I wish I could draw like you guys.

Technical drawings no problem - anything artistic..:blush:

That's excellent...He draws in anime style...that is one of the styles my son uses as well...

[jerryd]

I did this picture way back in 1974, at the time it was my pride and joy and took quite a while to complete. I wrote to Barry White to see if he'd be interested in using it as a "greatest hits" cover on the album. ( well I was young and naive :D )

I did get a very nice letter back from him in person, but the album cover never materialised as Barry White was too busy and our stupid dog at the time decided to chew the picture :eek:

Here's the remains.......

[dullbird]

I did this when I was 18...its not a drawing but a collage (or however you spell it)..
this was A3 in size

Some good "handy" work there Lou..:D...I love collages and mixed media art...shows a lot of imagination...

[dullbird]

So I found while packing the first car I ever drew...the series further back being the second.

Think this was drawn probably about 2years ago something like that..think I may of posted it up once on here before
