Cars Characters- Humanized

Thanks so much again! Drawing vehicles is no easy task… I can really only draw them if I have a reference in front of me and have a lot of time on my hands :slight_smile: Once again, it means a lot having your support! I look forward to seeing more art from you, too! I’ll send you a PM when I get the chance!

so here’s my basic, how i picture everyone in town:

McQueen: taller, dirty-blonde hair, slender, slightly muscled, and usually (not on race day) red converse, jeans, and a Rust-eze, Rt 66, Radiator springs, or other random (always red) t-shirt

Sally: tall, light brown wavy or curly hair (with natural blonde & red in it), thin, but not that scary-unnatural thin (like, she has a little muscle, a natural amount), usually (not on court days, though i don’t see her getting too dressed up for court, everyone knows her except the criminal) light blue converse, jeans, Rt. 66 (or other Radiator Springs related) t-shirt (usually light blue)

Flo: about like everyone else has said, waitress outfit in her paint color, graying hair

Ramone: Tall, little mustache (like the thing above his mouth in his car-self… its not really a grill… idk what it is) paint-stained jeans and shoes

Red: i agree with whoever said “Gentle Giant” earlier, but, of course, he always has a watering can or hose with him for watering the flowers

Mater: a very Larry the cable guy- like guy

Lizzy: elderly, white hair, false teeth, asleep in a rocking chair on the porch

Luigi & Guido: both shorter (though Luigi would be a little taller than Guido), both would have a little hat, Luigi’s would be black, Guido’s Blue, Guido waring overalls over a dark blue t-shirt, both stained with grease (from the greasy bolts on tires, and dirt on old tires) and his little drill in that loop in the overalls, a rag (to clean the hubcaps and bolts) hanging from his pocket. Luigi would also have overalls, but not satined with grease, just dirt on the knees and a t-shirt under his overalls too, and Luigi would also have a mustache similar to Ramone’s (the emblem in Luigi’s case)
~random question: does anyone else think Guido’s eyes look PURPLE when he’s dressed in his Ferrari gear during the dirt race in Cars 1?

Filmore: Hippie… complete with tye-dye headband (though graying hair), tye-dye t-shirt with that vest Ken has in Toy Story 3, a peace necklace, bell-bottoms, glasses, little beard (like his licensee plate) you get the idea

Doc: i want to picture him in kakis, with a blue shirt (but that could be because everyone in my family from that time period wares kakis when they aren’t working in the garden, something about getting blue jeans at the hardware for $0.50) with greying hair and glasses, plus a mustache (like his car-slef has)

Frank: the evil rancher down the road :slight_smile: kinda like in Second Hand Lions, sitting on the porch with a gun ready for the trouble makers ~coughMaterCough~ to disturb his cattle

Hahaha! Yeah. 8D Although Frank is supposed to be a bull.

I basically agree with all of that, sally&stickers. Nice job. :wink: :mrgreen: Hahaha, I love the Frank one. :laughing:

Ha ha! sally&stickers, the idea of Frank being a crazy rancher is so funny! I wouldn’t have thought of it! Anyway, I now have a thread for my art! And I have posted a drawing of humanized McQueen that I think turned out really good! And I’m currently working on a drawing of the humanized Tuner Gang (Boost, Wingo, DJ, and SnotRod). I love this thread :smiley:

THAT is funny! 8D

LOL!
And about Francesco, i CAN’T see him walking around shirtless, i don’t know i just can’t. :confused:

Well, that would actually be pretty logical… Normal cars have fenders covering (hiding) their suspension, while Francesco’s is fully exposed, which is like if we were seeing his “musculature”.
Like John Lasseter said here: “He’s an
open-wheel car, and in the car world, an open-wheel car is like those guys who barely
button their shirts.”

i know he’s supposed to be a bull, but i don’t think of bulls chasing local troublemakers off and protecting a heard of cattle… er, tractors

Ya. But whenever I think of Francesco as a human, I always see him in his racing gear with his helmet under his arm, with a charmin smile. :slight_smile:

That’s usually how I picture McQueen at the beginning of Cars 1, in his fries suit with a Rust-eze baseball hat (with Lightning McQueen logos of course), then later in to movie I picture him in like Jeans and a t-shirt.

Just think of Francesco with his fire suit not zipped all the way up to the neck, since the lack of fenders is supposed to be him showing off.

Now i’ve given it some thought, I see Francesco as:
Tall, a little taller than Lightning would be, warm brown eyes, slightly muscled, chocolate brown hair, slightly tanned, calm with his trademark smile on his face. Basically this: [url]http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=52xrv7&s=6[/url] Some people picture him with a beard or goatie. I do not, and so its clear, that isn’t a beard in the picture, its the shadow on his neck.

Wow, Francesco Bernoulli!

His smile and look in particular are perfect. They look exactly like his expression on your signature. I see no flaws, great job Bonanna! I can’t wait to see Carla Veloso (but I will 'cause I want it to look great! :mrgreen: )

:smiley: Thanks! Thsi was the first digital thing i’ve done and i did that on my iPad. Carla is on paper though. Francesco took SO long to do (Like… 6 months!) so I stuck with the traditional way. And yes, i am thrilled with his smile!

Awesome drawing of him, Bonanna137! It’s absolutely perfect! You did a fantastic job! I love the look Lightning’s giving him XD You should make a Pixar fanart thread when you get the chance! Funny story: the reason I gave my variation of Francesco a goatee is because in my older drawings, I was having a hard time telling Lightning and Francesco apart uncolored… yes, my early 2011 stuff was that bad :stuck_out_tongue:

The goatee could make sense as a stand in for the bumper, maybe.

OWP, That is an awesome idea! I might just do that! and the look on Lightnings face! That wasn’t planned but when I was doing the template for the face, I just sorta doodled and it happened! :smiley:
Spirit Of Adventure, that would make sense but I tried with the goatee and it didn’t look as good :confused:

No, your version doesn’t need it. I’m impressed by it.

You were able to make him look human and yet the shape of his face is unmistakeable. He looks just like Bernoulli.

:slight_smile: Thanks! To be honest I went through several shapes for his face, I settled on that one because it… just looks like him I guess. I can’t explain it, I drew it and i’m like “This is the one.”

The same thing happened to me when I looked at your design. My kudos again :slight_smile:

Lol yes! Love the new sig by the way! :smiley:
