Re: Re: csl illustration updates

Hey derekdodge
I don't know about any tutorials online
but you can find some cool books on airbrushing in the library.
I bet if you look through this site you could find some toot links.
The secret to doing it in photoshop is to get a wacom tablet.

Here it is as a flat drawing and at about 45% done

Re: Re: Re: csl illustration updates

Here it is without those friggin hard bbs wheels.
The lighting on this one was confusing because it has a
strong secondary light that makes it look weird.
Not as successful as the sti. Again - sorry if I pissed anybody off earlier.

Also here is the source photo.

Re: Re: Re: Re: csl illustration updates

Here is the final one.
Up close the wheels look bad.
okay small though. Also left off badge
and door creases and mirror shadow.
Anybody see anything I botched? Or suggestions?

Looks good grant. Maybe sharpen those wheels just a bit. Great work.

Alex holy CRAP!
Your stuff is godlike!
I can't see how you do that stuff with a friggin piece of graphite.
That speed12 is the best piece of car art I have ever seen!
I am not worthy.
You rule! Your work is very impressive.

Those wheels are gonna be tough but after looking at the time you
must put into your stuff, I can do it

That looks great! If you want it to look even better you might consider adding door lines.

Re: Re: Re: csl illustration in progress

Tried the wheels again and a new hood. Plus some color.

Is it bad form to paint in black and white then add color?

You're welcome
Nice work on the wheels, but the hood looks too dark if you're trying to match it with the body color.

Re: csl illustration in progress

Actually painting in greyscale then adding color is a great thing to do.

It's a lot like underpainting techniques. When you add the color try using a new layer and setting the layers properties to color. Looks like you might have done that but it's worth saying anyway.

Nice work.

Re: Re: csl illustration in progress

Thanks guys!
I dig color but I'm not very good at it
I did try a combination of "color" and "overlay" in parts.
Mostly I just have no feel for color.
I just got a lcd monitor with dvi in and it makes the first colors look bad
They look way artificial and flat. Will have to try again with the new stuff.

Here is the update[IMG][/IMG]
