Here is a flat purple escalade too.
No airbrushing on this one though.
Was used for part of a small t-shirt print.

Cool! I am glad he liked it.

Better suited to Graphic Manipulation, but very nice.

[grantrl78]

Manipulation?
I don't think so!
Explain please.
I assure you it is an airbrushed illustration

But I still love you great one with the cool avatar.

[bonzelite]

he means it is not really a sketch or a drawing in the traditional sense. did you do pre-sketches? post those, as well, if you can.

otherwise, it is an incredible digital rendering from a photo.

[grantrl78]

My opinion is that ace has a basic misunderstanding of my
work.
Manipulation means filters and no art.
You take an outline that you drew and put it into painter.
Make another layer of the photo and manipulate the photo
to look like it was your airbrush work - but it is still a photo.
An illustration is where you have a flat drawing of a car
and you use your airbrush and selection tool to transform the
2-d art into a 3-d car. Please point me to a program that
will air brush a car for me. It would make my life easier.
And would qualify my work as a manipulation.
Calling a digitally airbrushed car a manipulation is like calling
an airbrushed sorayama a minipulation because he light boxed
a friggin source photo.
It bothers me - that term.
I will post the stages of this one tonight.

[bonzelite]

right. i get it.

his comment, then, is actually an unintentional compliment. you executed it so well, it may appear to some as "manipulation."

it is obvious to me that you did not "filter" a photo. it is "hand drawn" digitally. you did it from the ground up, just like lemorris or anyone else here who works in illy.

you get props.

Very nice illustration! It looks like a picture!

I dissagree. There is no reason to move this from the sketching and drawing forum when it IS an illustration, and it was orignally posted in the correct forum.

Anyway you must look at the bright side, you will have more people viewing your thread, meaning more comments.

THANKS GUYS!
You are the best!
Hope I didn't make anybody mad with
my half assed broken down tirade.

I also see your point ran!
I get more hits. There is a good side.

Thanks for the support guys!
