bobstevlic · 04-04-2024, 05:21 PM

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!

lemmer · 04-04-2024, 05:49 PM

Awesome piece!

fabiani12333 · 04-04-2024, 09:14 PM

Great looking sketch.

rittdk01 · 04-05-2024, 02:30 AM

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…

Bunny Hop · 04-05-2024, 02:40 PM

very sharp.

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

That is fantastic.

Skipscards · 04-05-2024, 08:15 PM

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

TimBuckTwo · 04-05-2024, 09:27 PM

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.

soey10 · 04-06-2024, 08:13 AM

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?

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

REGGIE206 · 05-21-2024, 03:50 PM

That is incredible!

ScooterD · 05-21-2024, 04:17 PM

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

Archangel1775 · 05-21-2024, 07:37 PM

That's a great looking card!

bobstevlic · 05-22-2024, 01:30 PM

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.

bobstevlic · 06-21-2024, 11:42 AM

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)

bobstevlic · 07-10-2024, 03:48 PM

File size fixed!
