Plymouth Cuda

[Roboduck]

I hope this is the correct forum. I am a "Newbie" and have posted several places and comments have offered advice to post to this forum...others told me something different?

I did this for a friend who has always wanted a Cuda... so, this was my gift to him. I did it in Illustrator. As all the other I have done, it is a learning process. I tried different gradients for color.. still need to work on treads (very tedious ) to get them to look like more than lines? thx

Hi Roboduck,
Welcome to da forum.

So you are using Adobe ILL. hats off to ya, holmz.
I still have a ways to go w/ that program. Been reading through my adobe bible.

Very nice rendering.

Perhaps that degree on the rear tire needs to be smaller. I am sure Bonz will help you out. He has a good eye for that kind of stuff.

thanks for plug, al.

mmmkay. rear wheel looks like it buckled as the car fell off a jack and there wasn't any lug nuts on it.

robo, before we continue with this whole thing, as i have seen several samples from you by now -- you do great except you have trouble with the rear of the car, especially the elipses, are you doing the original layouts in pencil?

if you are, post some of those and i can talk about that. you are having trouble understanding planes of foreshortening in deep perspective.

you render great. and overall you control the digital medium great. you need a bit of backtracking on foundation stuff. but not much. i promise.

Oh wow, I did notice something.

Perhaps you don't want to focus on the interior yet or as much?

But the body and wheels look very real but the interior looks a little cartoon.

Here is a link for you.
