Biography

As a predominantly self-taught artist, Andy Lenton has been producing drawings for many years. Early work featured mainly transport and architectural subjects, later including technical illustrations for his studies to become a professional engineer.

After working in engineering for a number of years, Andy has finally transferred his draughtsmanship and illustration skills to work principally in art and graphics.

Working from a series of photographs, Andy has specialised in producing detailed illustrations of motoring subjects. Using graphite pencil allows him to maintain technical accuracy while giving his work it’s own distinctive style.

Of the artwork that Andy produces, the majority is by commission from owners of classic and vintage cars from across the United Kingdom and beyond. You can find more samples of previous illustrations, along with information on commissioning an original artwork by navigating through the pages of this website.

Along with the professional recognition of guild membership is the opportunity to exhibit artwork along side some of the most highly acclaimed current automotive artists of the country.
