Tooning a '63 Impala

Another one in the process. Here's a rough drawing of it. It dosen't look too bad, but I'd like your opinion.

Re: Tooning a '63 Impala

Cool start--like that down low, wormy viewing angle.
Great detailing work on the front chrome.

The one thing that stands out to me is the roof height above the top
of the side glass.
Seems like it might work to be a bit lower down to the glass as the roof line trails away.

Re: Tooning a '63 Impala

It's higher on the real car. The top of the roof is higher than the side windows. I just made it a bit higher to exagerate the whole thing
Here's the last sketch of it. I'll be drawing the line art soon.
I tried to figure out how you guys (Blip,Lemorris,greg-ory for example) do your shading/coloring with photoshop !? It's really nice. Each time \I use the burn tool it dosen't turn out as good as you guys. I also try playing with gradient tools, but it dosent turn out as good also...I'm probably still a ''newbie'' with photoshop, but I guess I'll learn in time.

Re: Tooning a '63 Impala

psstgh

you're already past me

I render in channels but it's the same in PS layers. If you do your lineart in Illustrator and open it with photoshop you can use the magic wand tool to select in areas the fill colors on layers below your lineart. Set your lineart layer on top and set it's properties to Multiply.

Re: Tooning a '63 Impala

Got it, don't know the model of Chevy very well, and the roof line was something that caught my eye.
Like the wheels and "slammed lower rider" look of the final pencil.

For coloring, I take a bit of a different track then most and do all of it (line art and color/gradient fill)
in a vector program called Expression 3.
Never got a good handle on coloring with PhotoShop, but lemorris has made some great tutorials
and greg-ory makes cool toons too.

Re: Tooning a '63 Impala

Very nice, giving it some black makes it pop.
Color should make it jump!

Re: Tooning a '63 Impala

Update. Redid the front grill and added some colours. I did mess around a bit with option. Anyhow, next update will be final.

( restarted )

Re: Tooning a '63 Impala

K, so I've slowly restarted the Impala. I'm a bit busy with other projects but I took a couple of minute to add basic color to it.
I will have to do a little touch up on the front lights and shadowing on the whole bumper area.
