how is it possible to draw freehand in PS? I can never figure it out

Daggernite · 05-04-2006, 09:36 PM

well you can get one of the pen things? tablets there called I think. OR you can trace an actually image of the car and paint it giving it the toon look.

There is a tool you can use that makes lines and you can bend them a little to make them look smooth circles. MUCH more precise then hand. You draw those lines and select STROKE PATH and thats it.

Making some progress, this will probably be the last update for tonight.

nice, since its a scetch, colors can be changed easily right? I'd like to see it in black =D

Manik those are awesome, please make some more...!

this can also be done with a technique that´s called "cell shading" which let´s you create cartoon like images from photos...

Good stuff, you should post a tutorial so we can know all of your secrets

keep up the good work..

Great work, Manik890. Since you said you are using PS, I am going to assume you are using the pen tool? I would recommend using Illustrator (It was designed for this type of art). You can achieve the same result, but have far more options. However long it is taking you to pull these off in PS, you have cut that time in half in Illustrator. I used to teach classes in Vector graphics so I am glad to see someone utilizing the technique for car stuff.

Yes, they are called Tablets, with the most popular brand being Wacom.

Thanks Minacious, actually I don't use the pen tool. I use the line tool, but you cannot curve a line with a line tool. To make the curves you just do alot of short lines, to form a curve. Right now these toons are taking me around 3 hours a piece, the lotus has taken me about 4, but it is the most detialed yet. I would like to acomplish them in shorter time in the future, maybe cut them down to 2 hours, without losing quality.

Alright, I've finished the lotus. I'm still liking the Porsche more though...

Oh and about the tutorial, I used the one from digimods.co.uk *Although I don't lasso around everything I drew, I just fill right away.

*That was my old technique, I do lasso everything now...

Pretty nice work. Well done Manik890.

Manik890 · 05-05-2006, 09:42 PM

Thanks Mr.Vercetti,

I've started into my next toon, any guesses? Just onto the rims than painting!

Great work Manik, the detail is amazing. Even the little lotus badges in the center of the alloys look great, I would have thought they would have been to small to get at. Are these your first 3 attempts? If so you seem to have mastered is right away. Sounds like your going to be doing more? Any idea what your next project will be? Maybe two cars in the same picture, or a car in drift? Id love to see that.
