Car Drawings: Pencil Sketch Hot Rod Art
November 10, 2009 by Hechtspeed
Amazing hot rod art done by Alan Brightmore. People these are NOT black and white photos, they’re hand drawn sketches that amazingly look like older photos when they’re done. Pictures and text by Alan… Check it out!

First up, this hot rod was done for a customer who saw my VW Bus parked at work! She left a note on my windscreen asking about VW parts and after getting in touch I ended up drawing this 5 window coupe for her father who owns the real thing. Very straight forward really, I enjoyed doing this one!

Next is a Lotus Sunbeam. My neighbor has a bit of an 80’s car fetish and he owns a number of Sunbeams, one of which is this example which I drew for him. Not my cup of tea to be honest but a nice car all the same and he was very pleased with the finished piece…

Here’s something I drew quite a while back. It’s called a Hillman Husky, of which I know little to nothing other than the owner dropped a Ford Cosworth engine in this one to make it go faster than it was ever intended!
Oh, and he worked (or owned) a scaffolding company hence the background I put in for him!!

This last one I did for myself for fun. It’s a 1954 VW Barn Door Kombi, pretty simple look. Typical of a custom VW Bus. This one always reminds me of California…
