It doesnt look bad but its hard to tell at this stage.
However I dont understand your method here at all.
You are doing it in sections and adding highs and lows as you go.
This is very unorthodox and not really the right approach.
I already see problems with your shading.
You can actually do this a million different ways and im not trying to discourage you but having done many fullbrush illustrations I can vouch from experiance that there are certain rules of thumb that when followed make this not only much easier but also insure better results. Your approach here seems to be like a chop instead of a full brush, wherein you add a bumper or a skirt etc. which is in fact completed in sections. A full brush is totally different. Im not going to elaborate here because it would be too lengthy, but I would suggest you research some full brush tutes.

Another update, still got one hell of alot to do tho, gonna finsih it the way that i was doing it beofre otherwise ill get confused lolz and just starting doing it the other way next time and just see what works for me

Thats sick man! Agree with PsDavinci on the shadows though! Did you make the base on your own?

Anw, that's sick man.. When you finish it you have to find some nice wheels (deep dish imo) and a nice BG.. If you get in my thinking you will know what i can see

(Maybe make a closer look of the car with a little BG to see behind it!)It's Your chop mate!

blackace · 10-23-2009, 07:16 PM

I know what PSD was saying and theres no doubt hes right, hell he's done more of them than me lolz so ya gotta listen lolz

and thanks and nah im using a base image but just havent posted it yet lolz

blackace · 10-23-2009, 07:59 PM

btw any tips on how to do reflections is welcome aswell

LPChopperz · 10-24-2009, 06:14 AM

What reflections man? First you have to finish what you are doing right? After that find a nice BG and make them to fit that environment (sun reflections, bg refs and stuff) IMO!
You got me right? You can not make the refs now because no BG is there!

blackace · 10-24-2009, 07:40 AM

Yeah i was wanting tips on it so when i manage to find a good background i could just crack on and finish it lolz

LPChopperz · 10-24-2009, 08:28 AM

Yeah man, but indipence from the image you will find to make those refs.. Then it will not be realistic enough imo..

PSDavinci · 10-24-2009, 12:23 PM

^OK I get what your doing now Black.
LP is right, you need to nail down the BG before attempting the refs.
Unless you go with the base image BG you might have some fun trying to find a suitable one to fit this low angle.
Of course you can always decide to go with a traditional illustration layout and create your own BG. Might be fun and is more forgiving from a realism standpoint. In which case you can then create your own refs.

Heres an example of what im referring to:

blackace · 10-24-2009, 12:28 PM

Dude ive found the perfect BG for it imo so let me know what ya reckon to it

so now just gonna start refs and stuff

AzZzA · 10-24-2009, 01:59 PM

blackace · 10-24-2009, 04:42 PM

Thanks dude

LPChopperz · 10-24-2009, 06:21 PM

Ok matey... Listen, i guess the car is toony for that BG! But with the right refs i think it will be awsome...If you need any help... just speak
