    Time

    Dig it. I almost get a bit of a skull thing goin on...you might wanna explore that. Also though the focus is on the foreground if you were to add a hint of that skull-death-decayness...It might be cool to see some out of focus stones or bones in the inner watch case. Know what I'm sayin...

    Suburban toon

    thanks guys it was fun...came out clean. I'm actually inking the next one in Illy using brushes. Then I'm gonna shade in PS. Kinda like I used to do, but the line has more character. I thought I'd try it and see how it landed. On this one it went pretty well. I have a lighttable at home...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    so... The panel bus landed here: and the split window bug landed here: then the rest was cake. I just put the vehicles in the design. On the elements like the text and the scene I tried to incorporate the colors in the vehicles. This helps reduce the pallet. I also did the little make...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    So for this one it's gonna stay a bit more graphic so wrapping it up was cake. Little things like adding some back light to the door seams, and darkening the bumper back, really help. It's still not done as there is adjustments in the layout, but so far so go. I did add a hue saturation and a...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    So basically I just use low brush settings and try to follow a pattern of light and shadow. Using the paths I can select a very tight area and do things like brush in a hot edge. One important thing to never forget is your wheel well shadows. Nothing sells your wheels more. I still have...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    Now we can add some tone. First thing I do is pretty basic. Make a clipping mask in this case above my body base. It'll be for dark tones. I set my airbrush to soft edge and flow about 40% and opacity about 15% then I just brush in some tone in the shadow areas. I build it up a little so I...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    so...now that the base lines are done...I make a bunch of paths that are all closed and they represent the hilite and shadow lines. Here's the paths Then I just stroke those paths at 2 pixels on a layer above my lineart. I do this so I can see them, when we get into the render I will show...

    These rims are a Porsche style wheel called a Fuch (fook). 5x130mm bolt pattern. These will be rendered as what they call "detailed" It's kinda like black lipstick on high polished chrome. :)

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    Here's all the layers erased out. I merge them into one layer and then click the Lock Transparency box on the layers pallet. This makes the PS layer uneditable except for where there is pixel data, or where I drew something. Then I just alt+Backspace fill the layer black and there ya go. Rim...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    We can do some tire talk now. basically the entire turn indicator process is repeated. I use the pen tool and the ellipse tool and layout all the paths. I do take a lot of liberties. I could be waaaaaaaay more technical, but once again....if it feels like that's what it wants to be, who am...

    Here's the inked indicator I will go ahead and get this along over the next hour or so. I'll post up then. Any questions?

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    Here's a look at how I deal with compound objects like the indicator light. I used the ellipse tool and transformed it for the front of the indicator, and I used the pen tool and made a path for the body. I add 2 layers above my line layer. these are just working layers. I stroke the...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    click the Simulate Pressure check box. This tells PS to use those settings in the brushes pallet. and there you go... Now I get a stroked line that has a bit of a varied lineweight to it. By doing this in bits as I work around the piece, it takes on a very hand inked look. see? Kinda...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    I started the inking on the doublecab bus so I did a few screen shots that may help explain the inking stuff better. Here's the brushes pallet and the dynamics set to 43 So I use the pen tool and make a path on a layer above my blueline. In the next 4 images I will stroke that path and tell...

    How I draw cars in PS: WIPtorial?

    lololol You know I'm not near as strong with realistic animals and humans. My wife is an equine artist http://www.andreenharris.com and my daughter is an anime artist. They have real strong figure drawing backgrounds...I'm pretty much just a car and cartoon guy.
