T206 Wagner...in pencil
Hey guys,
This is my first post on the new board! Besides grading vintage cards, I also do a little drawing. If any of you guys dabble in "new, shiny stuff" you probably know at least a little about sketch cards. Sketch cards are simply trading cards where an artist creates an original work of art on the card. Think of these as the next step in the autograph and jersey swatch card. Now when you open the shiny stuff, you can pull a unique and original piece of art! So, the baseball-related sketches I've done have all been in pen or pencil. I decided to try out some color work last night and created a Wagner. I thought some of you may enjoy seeing it. Hopefully I can get the hang of color work in future cards.

It is nice to sit down and take a break and draw. When I am flying to card shows, I draw in my sketchbook. I will take a vintage baseball photo from my collection and draw it. I did do the Wagner in one nite but don't get too excited, it's only color pencils. I only wish I had the time for watercolors.

Thanks everybody
And thanks, Leon but don't tell Mark. If he has to pay me more, he will make me draw and I can't draw and grade at the same time!
And besides, no one wants color pencil fingerprints on their T-cards! Andy

So my graders think they have "free time" at night, do they? I'll have to work them harder during the day now.
Just kidding - great work Andy. This is one of my favorites. Andy's ability to draw in so many styles and mediums is what I find most impressive. B/W, Color Pencils, Paint, Realistic, Comics, etc. I actually had Andy do a dozen paintings for me to use in a children's book I wrote when I proposed to my wife.

Andy,
Your drawing is outstaning thanks for sharing! It wasn't stated in your post, have you done sketch cards before, that were inserted in packs, or did they just motivate you to sketch players? Is the wagner the size of a modern day card? Thanks George

I was invited and submitted art for a non-sports set a couple of years ago but nothing came of that. Truthfully, I haven't submitted anything for consideration on any other set since but I would like to do so in the future.
The Wagner art is the standard modern card size of 2.5"x 3.5" I try to do most sketch cards this size as collectors prefer this. I also prefer this because the art fits standard top loaders and other holders. I would probably be up for other drawings, depending on what is wanted. I'll be up front and say I am somewhat limited on time right now.
