Ted Willams sketch artist thread
 

Hey all! First post…just sharing an almost finished Ted Williams card.

I do these in pencil and acrylics.

(edit: scroll down for all additional art postings)

Well that's one heck of a first post. Beautiful card. You are very good at what you do!

Awesome piece!

Great looking sketch.

Very impressive :)

Hi Bob, please do one of these one day, and include that Ted Williams :)

Great first post. Welcome to the forum.

Gmarutaik, fabiani, lemmer, rittdk01, Archangel & Skip: thanks to all of you :)!

Here’s a Ryno also from the 2018 set, pencil work with airbrushed acrylics…

very sharp.

I have always enjoyed your sketch cards.....especially the Star Wars.

That is fantastic.

Nice Ryno too. Now, let’s make them easier to see…

Bob I have pulled your sketches before from the non-sport cards realm.

Your work is top shelf and so are these. Glad to see you in the sports sketch world.

These are amazing! You are very talented. Just curious as to how long from start to finish does a card like the Sandberg take you to complete?

Thanks Jeff!! I enjoyed working on them all.

Hi Soey—thank you! Ryno took about a day, which is the minimum for a return card. Other returns or commissions sometimes take a few days. The tools I use are very time consuming, even more so at this small size, so a lot of extra prep and care has to be taken throughout to hopefully make it slightly more unique.

Full pic (fixed!) on the Ted Williams card :)!

That is incredible! :)!

How long to you think it would take you to do a full set for Topps? Just like these - no additional frills or embellishments. It’s all a baseball card needs to be

That's a great looking card!

Thanks Reggie & Archangel!

Hi Scooter—not sure how many cards that would be….but if they’re a little more simple with less detail it could be maybe 2-3 finished cards per day. This one is a return card, so more detail means more time & effort going into the final piece.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted this one anywhere before, but I also did this Javi Baez as a return sketchcard, same set as the Ted Williams. :)!

(Sorry for the jumbo file size! …will be fixed as soon as I get back to my laptop)
