kustmace's focus colorin'/ progress

[castback]

THANKS TIM FOR LETTING ME USE THIS!!!!
used photo shop for all of this. first i took the picture and adjusted the brightness and contrast so that it looked like a black and white picture



then i started to color the front wheel. i used the paint bucket and the "fuzzy" airbrush. i also used a picture of a real rim so that i could use the eye dropper and get the correct colors from it.



then i just did the same thing for the back wheel. remember that because this is a deep dish rim there will be some shadows. also there could be shadows from the fender.



thats as far as i got. i started with the wheels because those would be the hardest. what do yo guys want to see done next?

p.s. remember Kustmace drew this picture. i am only coloring it

Good job so far!
I would have no idea how to colour the body...just do the bit you want to do next!

[mike@af]

Looks good. I was planning on doing the same thing.

[KustmAce]

Coolio!

The wheels look good!

And thanks for the props...

Cant wait to see the next update!

hey tim, do you think you could get a better picture of the original picture? i was wanting to see how the reflections would look

[KustmAce]

Umm...If I could, I would, but my camera is still out of commission.

And is it just me, or is there a tiny section missing from the bottom of the rear bumper?

[castback]

its just you.





jk. i had to air brush out the lower left and upper right corners because after i adjusted the levels they were all dark. i think i just cut the corner off .

thats way cool, waycool9

ok. UPDATE TIME!!!!!

i did some of the sides. just did it the same way only i did it in sections.





tell me what i should change

[lemorris]

nothing...I love the taillight.

You might want to duplicate the line art layer move it to your top layer and then set the layer mode on multiply. All the white will drop out and then you'll still have KustmAce's blick lines to trap your color.

Just a thought.

Keep goin.

thanks. ive allways had trouble getting the original lines on the finished picture. ill have to try that because ive never have (also becuase you said it and you are awesome at stuff like this). before i just selected all the black color and moved it over it.

[castback]

just so everyone knows I LOVE LEMORRIS!!....jk
i tried that thing you were talking about and IT WORKED like a charm.

here is the new and improved focus. to some people it may look the same but look at the lines in this one and the one on the above post. this one is way darker

[lemorris]

coooooooool

It really cleaned it up a lot. Looks great!

I think the color of the car should be a bit different cuz you really can't tell where the rear wheels rubber is..
