i thought i'd give a go at a digital painting (only done one serious one before) and started with a simple sideview of a car. it's meant to be f1 inspired, but isn't really meant to be anything except something fun for me to paint after work. im a pretty technical artist so i'm hoping this will help loosen me up and this will be loose and free, but i already feel myself getting into the details again and tightening up. hard for me to let go. this is about 6 hours of work. im hoping to have it look like early morning laps after a spring rain. the clouds are a photo i took of the sky where i live, the rest is painted.

I like it... especially the wet look you are trying for. I might suggest glossing the rubber up just a bit more, and intensifying the shadows. As it is, I'd say this is a fine project. I am a bit new to painting myself and can identify with the struggle of being to rigid. It's a battle, but perhaps a better battle than being clueless when it comes to shapes.

Anyhow, good going. :)

ah i totally forgot the tires would be wet. thanks for that! i ended up almost repainting the whole thing as i didn't like the shape when i reopened the file to work on it again. so here is the new shapes which i prefer. i took the spray out only temporarily while i finish the rest.

hey that's looking really good.. but I'm seeing something with the tires.. I think maybe there's too much angle diff in them... I thought maybe it's because the front tires are turned? I think if you were able to look at the car horizontally, the axles wouldn't be parallel? Maybe it's just me. :-)


Anyhow, I really like it a lot.. it's looking great.

Hey, wow...that's really nice...looks very much like Scott Robertson's style...

Are you doing a course with him? Do you know him? He's a designer for hot wheels...

i was trying to force the perspective a bit, cause side views aren't all that dynamic. perhaps it's a bit too much. i'll lessen it up cause i think you are right, as the tires aren't meant to look like the car is making a turning...

dunno scott robertson actually??? haven't looked at hot wheels in a loooong time :)
