I Love Tuning : D

[Impulsive]

I Love Tuning, it's true,...

I made this photoshop piece fram a Scanned drawing I drew in class.
I first had to correct some perspective errors, due to bad sketching en the use of a Ballpoint.
Next I made the car come out better, with some Curve adjustments and Brightness/Contrast settings.
I played with overlayed colors to come to this result.
As Finishing touch I aplied some Lens flares and text.

The Original Drawing: (Due to booring lessons and enoying teachers)




My CS II Creation: (Wish I had a car like that )

Its nice but i have to say i prefer the ball point, thats seriously good... you have a talent for drawing!

[JS92]

Very good the wheels look so professional! Nice job, you should be good at line art then, and then simply colour in the areas on PS
Nice going, will want to see some more!

[Excruciating]

Hah.. that looks great. And I'm guessing no ref picture since you did it in class?
Oh yeah.. try not to draw to much in class, teachers really hate it I don't know why, but they do...
They really shouldn't though. I get frustrated about that sometimes.
I think you could have added a little more highlight on the colored version.

Wish a Had a scanner installed on this computer
I have many Ballpoint drawings like that I want to proces in PS. The reason why I started this project at the first place was to improve the perspective of the front of this car.
And that wasn't enough for me, so I continued working on this

Now I see that the line of the bottom of the bumper still has an enoying slope :s I'm going to adjust that to !

And indeed, I never use ref pictures... But it was a long way to reach this level of ballpoint drawing.

I prefer drawing with pencils, but I go to class with just a few ballpoints ^^

I have a funny story about one of my drawings I made in classroom. I'm doing my first year of industrial science on high scool btw. and I unfortunatly had to take place on the front row: right in front of my docent's prehestorical machine called 'overhead-projector'. Showing some transparents about his lesson (matals and plastics -> Name of that course) he saw me drawing one of my cars. He just stopped talking towards our class, and was staring a long period of time at my drawing... Then he said: 'I should show these ones instead of my booring slides'... And he did: he put my drawin on the beamer The paper was thin enough yo work.... I got great comments on that. Others just think I'm a freak Don't care, those people aint gone graduate anyway ...

Like this:




I worked away some of the ballpoint effect, and added more highligh (watch on the wheelskirt: what was a black surface before, definitely needed to be a highlighted one)

I did the perspectif to.
Improved ?...

Humm...
I don't like the smudging on the wheelskirt.
And you need to watch out for making things completely white. You need to try and color pick some values that fits
A good way of adding a soft glow is by dublicating the flattened image and go blur>gaussian blur and blur untill all details are gone. then got edit>fade gaussian blur (shift+ctrl+f) leave the opacity at 100 but change blending mode to screen. Do the same thing once more but leave it at soft light. Now you most likely think there's to much glow so use the opacity slider to fit your needs.
It works very well most of the times, just dont over do it...

Are you drawing with a tablet? And what brush setting are you using?

[Impulsive]

I aint got a tablet, en for this stupid blur thing I just used one single basic brush... I got bored reworking it, there fore i didn't pay much attention at highlight colors.

You know, when you're working to long at a same creation, you get so used to it, you stop seeing your own mistakes.

[Excruciating]

Yeah.. good tip on that one as well, flip it!
Just do a 180 degree flip and you'll see your mistakes 95% of the time.
I always go blind when I'm drawing...

note to new PS users...lens flare makes anything look better...
