From Wiki 

The Model B is a Ford automobile produced between 1932 and 1934. It is a much updated version of the Model A and was replaced by the Model 48. The B has an improved four-cylinder Model A engine of 201 cu in (3.29 L) displacement producing 50 horsepower (37 kW; 51 PS). Ford also produced a similar car with its new flathead V‑8 engine, marketed as the Model 18, and commonly simply called the Ford V‑8; other than the engine, it was virtually indistinguishable from the B.

Although sharing a common platform, Model Bs and Model 18s came in a large variety of body styles: two-door roadster, two-door cabriolet, four-door phaeton, two-door and four-door sedans, four-door ‘woodie” station wagon, two-door Victoria, two-door convertible sedan, panel and sedan deliveries, five-window coupe, a sport coupe (stationary softtop), the three-window Deluxe Coupé, and pickup.

 

Volkswagen Beetle 1959

One of my favorite cars.

Volkswagen Beetle 1959

Although designed in the 1930s, the Beetle was only produced in significant numbers from 1945 on, when the model was internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1, and marketed simply as the “Volkswagen”. Later models were designated VW 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 or 1303, the former three indicating engine displacement and the latter two being derived from the type number and not indicative of engine capacity. The model became widely known in its home country as the Käfer (German for “beetle“) and was later marketed as such in Germany,[3] and as the Volkswagen Beetle in other countries.[1][2]

In the 1950s, the Beetle was more comfortable and powerful than most European small cars,[citation needed] having been designed for sustained high speed on the Autobahn. It remained a top seller in the U.S., owing much of its success to high build-quality and innovative advertising,[citation needed] ultimately giving rise to variants, including the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia and the Volkswagen Type 2 bus.

Vintage Car – Sunbeam

I actually managed to finish this today – I started it weeks ago!   I believe its a Sunbeam but I’ve no idea what model or year it is, should I say –  I’m not sure why I like drawing cars as I just can’t do tires and wheels – but I gave it a good try today.  Practice makes perfect so they say.  Hope you like it anyway

If I had a Beetle this  is what it would look like – drawn in illustrator

The Volkswagen Beetle, officially called the Volkswagen Type 1 (or informally the Volkswagen Bug), is an economy carproduced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. With over 21 million manufactured[6] in an air-cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform and one of most-manufacturing of a single model commonly anywhere in the world.

Sakura Haruna from Naruto

Sakura Haruna from Naruto

Drawn in Adobe Illustrator – again – a couple of years ago.

Sakura Haruno (春野サクラ, Haruno Sakura) is one of the main characters in the Naruto Series. She is a chūnin-level kunoichiof Konohagakure, a talented medical-nin, and a member ofTeam Kakashi.

Sakura is naturally hot-headed, stern and irritable, and because of that temper-mental nature, she tends hit people out of explosive anger and rage on more than one occasion (the victim usually being Naruto Uzumaki), and somewhat hyper-critical, but most of the time, she is relatively kind, cheerful, and rational. In the anime, Sakura has been shown to be a bit of a flirt and uses this to her advantage: with one such case being when Naruto asked her out for dinner, though she only agreed if he paid for her half as well. She also prefers to speak formally, very reliant on approaches of theory and principle and tends to be a heavy and calculating thinker when it comes to details on almost any matter and very analytic when on or off the job, but she is also capable of being very naive and narrow-minded on certain matters such as Naruto’s feelings for her, which went unnoticed until Sai stated it to her or when she tried to force herself to kill Sasuke twice, despite the fact that her heart wouldn’t allow her to do it, leaving her vulnerable for Sasuke’s attempts on her life, even her attempt to lie to Naruto about loving him instead of Sasuke, ignorant of the fact that Naruto personally witness Sakura’s most extreme and inimitable signs of love for Sasuke.

The Flintstones

Posted on by admin

Another very old picture that I drew in MS Paint, of the kids from the Flintstones – Bam Bam and Pebbles :)

The Flintstones is an animated, prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960 to April 1, 1966 on ABC. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The Flintstones was about a working-class Stone Age man’s life with his family and his next-door neighbor and best friend.

The show’s continuing popularity rested heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in the Stone Age setting

Italian village on the hill

Posted on by admin

This is a drawing that I did some time ago – it was an experiment, as most of my drawings are actually – when I look at it now there is a lot that I would have done differently but I still like the simplicity of it.  I’m not sure which town or village it is now, but it looks like many that you see in Italy.

The pansy or pansy violets are a large group of hybrid plants cultivated as garden flowers. Pansies are derived from Viola species Viola tricolorhybridized with other viola species, these hybrids are referred to as Viola × wittrockiana[1] or less commonly Viola tricolor hortensis. The name “pansy” also appears as part of the common name for other Viola species that are wildflowers in Europe. Some unrelated species, such as thePansy Monkeyflower, also have “pansy” in their name.
