Ok so it’s not remotely my best piece of work but it represents not giving up. It’s the first sketch in the past 5 weeks I have not torn up. Finished just half an hour ago - it’s late, I am tired, the noise is still there in my head, but I am still here; I am not giving up.

So Car Twitter it’s not a Porsche 911 or hypercar, or latest hot hatch or the ‘car to be seen in’ at the latest car venue, it’s not a magazine front cover star or top gear hero. No it’s a 2.2 Diesel Estate - and it positively ‘breathes’ down a B road and I love owning it.

The thing I struggle with in Depression is how it robs you of the joy of things - this sketch I finished tonight and I already want to tear it up. But I have promised Mrs Revs I am not going to and I am also saying here publicly that I won’t do it. Just putting that out there.

Sad to hear of the death of Marchello Gandini - designer of the Miura, Countach, Citroen BX, not to mention Lancia Stratos and numerous concept cars, the list is long. You could say he was father of supercar design.

So this was an experiment - marrying my use of pastels with more ‘finished’ coloured pencil. It felt huge to try, especially with me feeling fragile at the moment, the jury is still out, but I have not torn it up - it’s tucked away in a drawer.

I am thinking of writing an article on the mental health benefits of driving. For those who love their cars/bikes - have you had any experience of drives/cars that have contributed positively to your mental health. Can such things really be beneficial? Let me know.

For what its worth (and its not much I will admit) I think the Range Rover design highlight (apart from the original early ones) is still the early, fuss and frilly-free L322. But what do I know?

I just don't see Aston Martin as a Ferrari competitor - so don't see why they should try to emulate them - Aston's cars have always been better when they have done things differently, when they have been Astons and not something else.

Doodle of the day: lovely line sketches by

Final sketch post of this year - early sketch in photoshop from 6 years - I am starting to think of needing to increase skill and reach with more ‘painted’ works. Maybe current stuff too sketchy? This is something to explore in 2022? Will keep you posted and will keep posting.

Doodle of the day: D-Type - playing with photoshop - which I’ve never been truly comfortable with - it’s a great programme but I always struggle with where to start and I get impatient. It does not always do what I want it to, (or rather I can not get it to do what I want it to).
