Good job.   |
Thanks guys. The rendering is almost completely done in Adobe Illustrator (emblems for the stock version were done in Ps .... ok except the SS, it is a Ps Ai combo.). In some of the screen shots you can see both my monitors. The monitor on the left has a couple pencil scribbles open in Photoshop just to flip them and do a little brightness contrast. Sometimes I will put the sketch directly into Illustrator and that is what you see in the first few screen shots, and on the right monitor. But for the custom bumper I just "freehand" in Ai and then compare it to the sketch on the other screen as I go along. The perspective in the sketchs is wrong and I work with shapes much better than I work with lines, so I didn't need the sketches in Ai, just near by for me to look at. I use a digital camera to capture my pencils and dump them in my computer. It's all done with the pen tool and filled with standard gradients. I also keep all sorts of ref material open .... pictures of the new Camaro, a Cadillac CTS-V, a Chevelle, etc to get ideas.
