Artist | Student | Traditional Art

Hello there I am Ryan Sardachuk... probably the biggest person who is stuck in time warp, that you'll ever meet. I am a full hearted retro lover, and even a bit of a redneck, and that has influenced me greatly in what i draw, and how i draw it. I draw mostly vintage american cars, from the days when the automakers made beautiful cars for every buyer segment. You know... the days when even the average american could afford to drive a car that could turn heads (The 57 Chevy is a fine example of this). Today ordinary people can only afford the bland lumps that we sadly call quality vehicles. you know... the ones that have no thought put into their design, and have less torque from the engine than they do in the lugnuts, and horsepower outputs similar to that of a sewing machine. What really surprises me about some of these new cars, is that you don't have to mix the oil and the gas like you do with your lawnmower haha. anyway i'm done ranting... this is my drawing style: I draw alot of existing cars, as well as some of my own... i prefer to use art pencils, watercolor paints, and watercolor pencil crayons. and sometimes oil pastels, but those can be a real pain... with that said, that pretty much summarizes my style, and presentation
