need help...350z

[crisby06]

first off, what category would this chop be considered? auto chop or a toon chop? it looks to real to be toon, but not real enough for auto chop..but anyways, to my topic..i've done the whole car, but interior and front bumper, don't need any help for interior cuz i plan to tint it pretty dark, but i really need help with the shading on front bumper. btw, the black lines are just a reference for me and they are not how i've done the chop, just need them for where i will put the color. anyways, can anyone help me on which parts should be the darkest, and then which should be the lightest? once i get those 2 i can go on from there...but yea, didn't think it would be this long, but any help is GREATLY appreciated!

sorry bout that, didn't notice til after you posted..also, you think that it's a good chop? it's only my 5th one...

Definately looks too toony to be real, I'd call it a toon....as far as where the light is coming from, looks to me like it's coming from the top left, almost right above the car...high noon maybe?

Anyways, post the original and we can get a better idea of the light source even if it is totally different from what you've done already. I'm thinking that the front bumper is gonna be darker than everything else but it's possible that light may have been added to the front of te car for the shot...

that's what i thought also, but in the orig, it looks like the sun is setting from behind the camera, which threw my shading off..
