Photoshopping Cars


Timotheus

Recommended Posts

As some of you may know, I'm trying to have a bit of fun with photoshop at the moment.

Now, the thing that sparked my interest on Photoshop, were contests on different Dutch forums I visited over the years.

These involved signatures, avatars, but also one of the big favorites: photoshopping cars.

 

What does it involve?

It involves 4 things. One: a picture of a car. 2. Photoshop or a similar program. 3. The internet for parts. And 4. your imagination.

 

Some examples of others:

I'm currently working on a Jaguar XF.

Here's the original:

And here's my progress (slow! lol):

What's been done?

-Lowered the car

-Cleaned the front bumper a bit

 

What am I doing now?

-Prepping for a color change

-Looking for parts

 

What's on the to do list?

-Modifications to the bumpers, side skirts and maybe a spoiler

-Color change

 

So, share your thoughts :)

Looks good but the car has been lowered to much.. if that were to be driven the wheels would go into the metal... = not good xD

It looks like the version you got is a photoshoped version of the original that you're photoshoping again ;p shadows dun really make sense (maybe just my wierd eyes)

Shadows don't make sense? How?

 

And the original should be just that, original.

 

I'm not that happy on the lowering of the car either, but that's also due to the fact that it's pretty much in perspective and I don't really know how to handle that yet. Because if you look closer, the front is way less lowered than the back... Got some reading to do on that :)

 

EDIT

OK it turned to be a bit of a chop-job but I tried fixing the wheel arches so it looks more realistic.

thats cool Timo! :)

and about being the ''orginal'' the orginal is probebly photoshopped a bit with dimming the lightsource to make the car stand out more.. so the shadows are correct me thinks.

by ''-colour change'' do you intend to change the colour of the hwole car? :D

Bravo Timo!

I saw this at work and was thinking how jealous I was of peeps that are good with images. Cars lately have been a bit of a draw for me, so your pic took me in.

Nice Timo!

This seems pretty fun, and I have time on my hands (probably) as it's half term

So I'm going to try this too

Also @ Erling, what's that grid you have on that picture?

just to get the angle right :devil: its ''vanishing point'' (but for drawing... drawing in your own vanishing point setup is faster and easier, lol)

I am always envious of folks with 1) Photoshop talent 2) the funds to buy Photoshop.

 

I treated myself to PSP Photo X2 Ultimate a few months ago, but it still not photoshop. As for the talent part, I just don't have the patience to do custom work on cars and such. My claim to fame is my series of edited Kaiser Permente ads, though I have only posted my first on this site.

 

Keep up the good work.

OK, here's a rough end product.

Not finished because I'm not satisfied with the front lip, side skirt.
