T/A Racecar

Here's another more realistic style toon of an 80's Saleen Trans Am racer.

(Team trailer in the background.)

Looks really cool. I like the ground. One thing I noticed was the undershadow of the car. Could you make it fade out a bit?

Thanks, I'll play around with the shadow.
It does have a very hard edge line, see it I can soften it a little.

I like the rims reflections and the hedge in the back. cool pic!

that isn't a toon drawing. i don't know why you called it that.

Well, because it wasn't done as a photo-realistic style design.
Made changes to the proportions, dropped lots of details, just didn't exaggerrate the image as much as I normally draw toons.

The car is drawn a little longer and flater than the real one

Man! I dig your colors. :)

Thanks, tried to match the colors from the reference photos I used.

HI Blip,

Your work looks great.

I am not sure about the composition.
Is the car or the building the focus?
I think it would be better to have the car enlarged and more centered.

Can I post a mod of your work?

Thx

Al, please go ahead with your version.
I'm here to learn.
Do you want me to send you the original .xlr file?

Also, just to prove that I didn't get this design to work right--it's the team race trailer in the background, not a building.
Should have put more detail into the trailer.

I was thinking more like this.

Al, thanks.
A bigger car image gives it better balance and focus.

Squaring out the edges looks nicer too.
