1967 Camaro Progress

OK, I've decided to make this drawing a lot more detailed than usual. I've done the outline so far.

To do the outline I used a ruler to measure the placement of the basic lines, then the detail is freehand. Took me about 2-3 hours. Hopefully I can get somewhere near the standard of Al's and Alex's drawings.

Do you like it so far?

Thanks,

Ross.

Looks good!

Looking good!

I like it, it looks like you kept that kids head in the drawing...

Yeah, lol. I was on the edge of taking it out, when I decided to keep it in. Don't know why, just kept everthing on the ref pic the same on the drawing I suppose

Looking very nice.

mice, i'm also gonna draw this car=)

Cool :). Good luck! It will be interesting to see how they both look.

looks more like a stuffbyalex drawing

remember when he did the prelude, looked exactly like that

looks good, i really like it

looking perfect so far. Good luck with the detailing. Im sure it will be awesome :iceslolan

thats a really nice looking 68 camaro :naughty:

nice detail O_o.... looks good.

very nice! can't wait to c progress!

Awesome! especially for freehand!:)

Will it be in colour or b/w?

aww man thats awesome, reminds me of my dads :(

Quarter Mile, I'm doing it B/w. I've done about 3 hours shading so far, so I better post it!

Hey, MoneyMike, what was the sad face for?

Here's the update:

I still need to go over the shading I've allready done, plus the front tyre at the bottom left needs fixing. Great pic by the way Al!

nbw, is it a 86 camaro?

wow, im loving the rims. keep it up!

noo its a 68 not a 86=)
thats great but the shading doesnt look so smooth and the frontyre i a litlle weird but u already mentioned it=)

Ra15,

It looks great. :iceslolan

I know you are not done shading but make sure to have the front rim and tire darker than the back rim.

"fuck me wif a boat anchor" *jkin* awesome job man once u'll finish im gna put it as my b/g pic!

Thanks BuLLDoGG! I'll do 1024 by 768, or whatever size your screen is. Thanks Al, I'll do that wheel thing. By the way Zwofurti, I said I hadn't finished the shading, so I'll fix that also :). O yeah I meant to say 68! Got it the wrong way round.

Also, i noticed that you showed the other cars in the background through the driver side window, are you going to do the whole background?? or just through the car?

yea 1024 pix pls btw u received PS yet?

you did you really have to post twice, why dont you just edit


i frikin love it, cant stop looking at this thread, haha

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

it soo hard trying to make those go simultaniously(spelling?)

Looks very good. I love the camaros. My father has an 68. I wish he could get it done.

you are a good cardrawer ross!

damn thats insane man, you have alot of skill

lookin good! :biggrin:

Cheers you lot. Should finish it sometime today. I'll do you a 1024 by 768 BuLLDoGG, and no, PS hasnt arrived yet, so I think it will come around next wednesday. Hey you! well spotted :). When I finish the car, I'll either call it a day and rub out the cars in the window, or I'll draw the WHOLE background. Not sure what I'll do yet though.

Holy Balajaleeza! That's awesome!

looks great my man!!

thats kinda wierd that you would sign you drawing before you even started to shade it. lol :biggrin:

I know lol, don't see why not though.

OK, I've Finished! (I think) Took around 7 hours. I'm still debating whether to do the B/G.

By the way, is it a 67 camaro or a 68?

What do you think?

Fantastic!! your best yet!

As for B/G, if you are confident with it, just do it!

Thanks. The pic looks better in the flesh because my scanner made it a bit grainy. I might do the b/g tommorow, plus add a few more touches to the car.

i think its a very nice car! (pls don't forget to make 1024 pix copy for me thnx) B/G are u planning to make it as good as actual car? if yes its going to be a great drawing!

I'll do the 1024 pic now, if anyone else wants it just say. And yes, if I do the b/g, I'll make it as good as the car.

OK, here's the "Desktop Edition" for you BuLLDoGG! Its 1024 by 768. If anyone else wants to use it, like I said, feel free.

Here it is: http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/118193Camaro_Desktop.JPG

All I have to say is...

^^^ i agree! very nice Ross! thnx!

wow!! very nice Ra_15!!

I like it a lot. Good reference helps.

It occured to me that your drawing would look really cool on a shirt. Converting straight pencil to halftones or indexing is a pain, and since you loose some dot on the screen it's better to make it more of a graphic.

Hell...I'll show you what I mean. Hold on......

now no offense I of course would never try to offend you in any way. I would never take your stuff either, just giving you some food for thought. ok?

So I did a quick increase contrast, to lose some white, then I adjusted levels. I really scrunched in on it because next I converted to bitmap as a halftone. I set it to round and 55 dots per inch at a 45 degree angle....anyone know why?....That's right to eliminate moire!!

I just know it would look cool on a white shirt, or if you took the negative, trimmed it to the shape of the car and printed it with white ink on a black shirt it would be awesome!! All the black would be created by the shirt itself and the car would emerge from the fabric.

Here's the halftone up close so you can see what it looks like.

Once again no offense...just brain food.

Excellent work. I'll keep my eye on you from now on.

-Lemorris

p.s. Tell the printer to burn it on at least a 220 and to extend the black so you don't get dot gain and gum up the works.

FYI

Do you want to do it as a shirt? I would have no idea how to do it, so if you wanted to, go ahead.

If so, do you want it at a higher resolution?

p.s, would you be able to sell them?

All I have to say is...

rightclick+save picture as.. :evillol:

No nooo you got it all wrong.

rightclick+save picture as.. open Photoshop erase "Ross Allen" enter "your name"....hee heee :evillol:

Wow, Ross the car is sweet. I absolutely luv it.

Ok, w/ you an Lemorris talking about prints/shirts and all = $, what about the photographer....hee hee...Ice gots to eats too :iceslolan

Hey Lemorris I remember you mentioning half-tone printing before. Do you/will you, do a write up on that for us? I am interested.

Thx

al

PS, you know I am joking right?

WOW, I just ran spell check on my post and not a misspelled word except for the ones I meant to misspelll :)

LOLOL

I don't want to print it on a shirt. I want YOU to print it. In this case you would want to get permission from the car owner, the photographer (Al), and probably find out what Chevy has to say.

Now Chevy will try to bust you up for a license. They may not even mess with you until you try to sell your Camaro shirts at the local Chevy club show. Then they'll snatch your shirts like the cops did B-reals crops in that one song. However if you go to the Chevy club and swing a deal with them....ah-ha!!.... the car clubs are licensed and allowed to print the cars on shirts hats, buckets...whatever.

Put the clubs name around it and waa-laa!! (I know GTMike...I know...friggin grammer police) Like this:

http://www.58vw.com/af/cam3.jpg

Charge $100 bucks plus charge $1 over the cost of the shirts. If they order 100 shirts you get $200. I actually charge $2 over the shirt. Sometimes more.

Give Al $30 and thank him too.

-Lemorris

I would do it, except there are no chevy clubs near me, plus I don't know how to make the shirts.

hahahaha

The t-shirt printer makes the shirts. Look up screenprinters in the phonebook. To find out about Chevy or Camaro clubs in your area. Go to a car dealer (you got one of those right?), or look online.

Now I'm not trying to make you do this, it just looked like it would make a cool one.

You know lets just get back to drawing. What's next for you?

i wanna see some more concepts from you ross and btw your camaro is like dayum! lol

Forgive me for asking this, Lemorris.
Have you showed us how to create the tone that is needed or expected by the print shop? I mean how you converted Ross' drawing to the "dots". I know you mentioned some time ago but I cannot remember where that info is.

Give Al $30 and thank him too.

Hey that is the best advice Lemorris has given. I like that? :iceslolan

No worries the photos I post are royalty free, you guys do whatever you want to them, and if you can make lots of $ even better.

One thing I just learned, I didn't realize you needed permission from the owner of the car, I always thought just the photographer and/or manufacturer.

Thx

Al

damn lemorris

you got it ALL figured out

SHAZAM!!

I'll get into some of the halftone stuff with this Buick I'm workin on Al.

The conversion is pretty basic. Save as bitmap select the dpi and the angle.

The trick is only halftoning the fills and not the outline. I have a trick that works really good though. We'll go detail on the Buick thing.
