i opened photoshop for the first time in ages, and did a couple easy manips of photos i took, and an update on a picture some of you may remember. Figured this is the only place i could share and get feed back.

 

 

A random lancer

 

My 1980 Camaro :D

 

And a image i have been working on for ever, but still havent completed. A mustang 427R

Are you using the pen tool?

You might want to make those blurs cleaner around the car edges, because the blur effect is let down as some parts are still sharp. Love the vetor/vexel piece, keep working on it, looks mint!

I don't care much for the photos, but that Mustang is starting to look freakin' awesome!

If you're going to blur, leave the foreground sharp and create a depth of field effect. Now it looks like those cars were pasted on a blurry picture.

Nice vector though.

The photos were quick manips, i know i can do better than that :P

 

As for the mustang, you probably wont see it done in the near future, i have so many hours into it, and its still not done. Im having troubles with the shading, making it look like its a real car, rather than an image i made. I am using the Pentool and a brush really.

 

 

Here is what it looked like before i made it red, you can see the shading a bit better.

I want your god damn car.

 

Try using layer masks for the blur. Duplicate the image, blur it, add a layer mask to it, then use a black to white gradient going from one corner to another.

hi :D

Ooh, are you making that Mustang from scratch?

 

EDIT: I should make that clearer, is it freehand or do you have an image of a Mustang you're going over?
