WIP Hot Rod

[JeriC]

Okay, here is a WIP for another t-shirt design I am working on. Unfortunately, I will not have anything more on it for a while until the client gets back to me with an approval. It is for an event in June.

Hi Jeri,

Dang that is tight. I luv the design of the hotpeppers for flames.

Ok at this stage you are still on AI, correct?
The reflections headlights and grill, done in AI too?

What I notice about you and Lemorris is you both have a nack for removing details and simplifing reflections instead of trying to just copy the ref.

I'm taking notes, it all about observing and studying the masters...hee hee

Thank you for sharing and being so open about your techniques.

close, but not there yet, I think you have the pass the 50 post point (maybe even 25 if you're lucky).

About the shirt, it looks great, I really hope you will finish it - it has alot of potential when its in your hands!

All of this is in Illustrator. Most of the lines will stay on the final design. The only ones I will be removing are the moldings. They will be represented by darker colors to contrast the yellow (like orange and grey).

Most of the time, I don't like to see "black" lines unless there is a "black" line on the car... like a door or hood seam

I am going towards a heavier outline around the cars than I used to do. I like that look on other artist work so I think I will 'borrow' it for a while.
