Good lookin crew you've got Ben, looks like a handful.
I'm Colter. I didn't start drawing cars until I was like 17 or 18 I think. I drew everything else though. Of course at that time it was all about the comic books and I thought I was going to be a comic book artist one day ... not so much. I still go back to those days every once in awhile. I never learned to draw cars, I just started doing it once I was shown the muscle car light ... which happened to be at the same time I was in college learning to use Ai. The school I attended was across the street from the high school so I did both at the same time and got high school credit, if that helps explain the age problem with that story. Anyway, it wasn't until finding places like this a few years back that I have started to try to learn the more traditional ways of automotive art, but really I'm a commercial/graphic artist, not really a fine artist. I like to think of myself as a problem solver more than anything. So I envy you traditional artists sometimes. Before that, I was just drawing people's cars, learning their details, trying to learn what made them so appealing to me.
