New MS Paint art

Here is my latest work. Took more than 10 hours.

I hope you all like it.

Very cool.

STUNNING! You've got skills!

Are you taking requests? I would love one... it's a 1st gen cabrio so not too much different... change a couple of colors and add one or two things. Let me know. I'd like to commemorate my first MINI... the Chili Red '05.

Oh yeah, I've got the chrome line interior... how do you do that?

edit: ok, cartar... keep in mind i have no art training at all, and I'm known around here for my crude ms paint work.


Thanks everyone.

Requests? Probably not right now. After May 5th... maybe.

I used a dark gray for chrome, then added some lighter shades to show some glint. Like on the toggles and the shifter. I'd do a 'chrome line' the same way.

Were you sitting in the back seat for 10 hours with some beer and your laptop?

Looks great! I love the detail on the central console and speedo!

It's the style of the drawing.

I was working on this off and on for awhile. 10 hours is my best estimation. I just used my visual memory and several close up shots of the console and speedo.

I used to draw like that with my Etch-A-Sketch! Very nice work, it is immediately recognizable as a MINI, super job!

Yeah, with my G9 Laser. Plus I zoom in with paint and can get a steadier line.

Wow thats pretty crazy for a mouse, I can't even draw a remotely straight line with a mouse. This is what I use:

Painted this with it in Photoshop:


You could do work with a tablet

That's a nice tablet. I'd like to try one, but they are pricey. Also, I can't draw with a pencil.

I got a new toy today:



Hopefully my drawings will retain some of their crude charm.
