CARS & ART

CARS AND ART, presented by Drawing LA and Leen Customs!

LIGHT INSTRUCTION ONLY (this is a session, not a class).
Hosted by Cynthia Halley & Omar Rehman

For car enthusiasts and artists alike! This is a chance to draw unique vehicles in a casual, controlled, and chill environment, with cool people and no pressure. Think figure drawing sessions - but for cars! All you need is a pen or pencil and sketchpad, plus your enthusiasm. No prior experience or knowledge necessary. We will have 1 or two vehicles available to draw per session.

Your hosts are Cynthia Halley (Marvel’s What If & Zombies, SpiderVerse) and Omar Rehman (HotWheels, Ford, Nasa). Cynthia & Omar will be on hand to socialize and answer basic questions about drawing techniques and the cars themselves.

Why join us? Car shows are tons of fun with tons of great cars to draw, but they can be hot, loud, and tiring. There’s no one guiding the mission, and somebody always stands exactly in your view!

Drawing LA & Leen Customs want to provide artists and enthusiasts a chance to draw and and study cars in a comfortable, intimate setting, where you can actually relax, get a little feedback if you want it, and enjoy the company of other likeminded creative folks.

Leen Customs is a fun and spunky space in LA’s Car District, perfect for drawing and hanging out. Picture a clean and comfortable indoor garage that opens up to the outdoors, with a lift for the car so we can look underneath, a ramp walkway with two levels for different viewing angles, a gift shop area, and private restroom.

Keep in mind this is a LIGHTLY instructed event. Cynthia & Omar will NOT be giving full instruction, but are happy to answer casual questions. For structured classes, keep an eye out for Drawing LA’s formal workshops, which will also be announced here on Meetup & Instagram!
