Why are you drawing in Photoshop...?

You should be using illustrator, more precise, not resolution dependent, smaller file sizes, easier to draw, better result...

Then you can convert it to photoshop if you really have to later...

I usually draw everything in illustrator, I don't find a need to use photoshop for any part of it, even show shading or reflections are done in illustrator...

Photoshop sux for drawing

I'd have to agree, i love Photoshop, its an awesome program, but Illustrator or Corel Draw will prove far more useful for this type of art, not only is the image sharper but its vector, so the infinite scaleability comes in handy for bg's etc... keep it up

Here is one i did nearly a year ago. a bit dodgy, some of the lines arent as smooth as they could be but it was just messing around, its a small pic, but have the original somewhere at home, i think i used illustrator, i wouldnt mind doin some more of these though, a little time consuming but look great,

nice work on the above might i add, and the last of the trucks looks to be the best!

take your photo int PS and using the pen tool, run lines along the main lines of the car to give it its shape, start off with the parts that make up the shape of the car, ie: the main body, headlights, wheels etc... then move onto smaller details like the insides of the lights, indicators, and any other finer details until your happy with the end product.

you dont necessarily have to do them in that order, with practice you'll probably develop your own technique.

that is what i said in previous posts above...

the question was how do u do it in PS, hence i explained it in PS, that said...

its essentially, the process to create this type of art is the same in illustrator or PS or Corel

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
