Anyone Good At Drawing??? I Need A Truck Sketch!
 

If anyone is good at drawing, I'd sure appreciate some help!

I need a simple cartoon or caricature like, black outline sketch to use on an invitation of the front/side of a Peterbilt cab.

Please email me at [email protected] if you can help. Thanks!!!

I did these two quickly in Photoshop.

Nope. I've always just understood computers. I taught myself CorelDraw back in college (1993) in about a week. I taught myself Excel in about a half hour, to the point that I was employed by a large bank in N.E. Wisconsin, reprogramming their accounting system with Excel spreadsheets. I taught myself HTML in a few days. I've been using Photoshop for about 6 months now.

I never did get any formal training, though. If I could do it all over again, I probably would. Unfortunately, there weren't any sort of I.T. programs available when I went to college (at least not that I could afford to go to).

Although I did own a Commodore 64 as a kid. :wink:

To be fair, the pics above were pretty easy to do. There's nothing real complex about them.

Well more power to you!!! I for one am a dummy. In fact, you know those books "____ for dummies"? Well I need a "how to use the book for dummies" book :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW, when you gonna put up one of those cleaver avatars like you used to have?

Rev-- Those are the perfect angle and the amount of truck I want........great job!!! But I'd like something simpler, more like a basic thick outline and less lifelike, kind of like a cartoon or caricature, and yes Peterbilt is the way to go, would love to have the grill have the peterbilt logo. I'm planning on putting my friends heads in the windshield spots, with big goofy grins on their face, it's for a wedding invitation.

Thanks so much everyone for all your help!!!

So what's your story, Rev? I'm curious. How'd you wind up trucking?

I always wanted a life like yours, but I've never been able to get it. Nobody would hire me, and this has been the only way I've been able to find to make a living, even though I'm an old school dyed in the wool computer dweeb from before normal people had access to the Internet and all that jazz. I just went through all of this again when I lost my job, and decided I would leverage my book and all my open source development experience into a job that never materialized.

I don't hate trucking, but I'd rather be here by choice than by a lack of other options. I've wrestled with that for a long time. I have a "Career angst" thread on here somewhere that explores that topic in depth. I've always been something of a mess reconciling all my interests and talents with what I do for a living.

Here's my story, if anyone cares:

It sounds like we have similar roots, but you are here by choice. PM me if you don't want to hijack this innocent thread any further.
