all right well i think we should start with a simple car like this rx7
other bases like this can be found atmangacars.com
just go look in the stock manga cars section

first open the car in photo shop
you will use the pencil tool which can be found by right clicking on the paint brush
this will be used with a 1 pixel tip for the outlines of things.

ok, we will be learning how to make a custom front bumper today
open the image in photo shop


first we will be making a shade chart for the car
select the eyedropper tool(shortcut = i) and select the darkest shade that you see on the car
then switch to the pencil and make the brush size about 7 pixels and make a dot of color in the white space surrounding the car switch back to the eye dropper and repeat this until you have made a dot of all the shades


create a new layer by clicking the button
then grab the pencil tool and hit D to make the foreground color black, then draw the basic shape that you want the kit to be

(HINT: the easiest way to make the kit perfectly symmetrical is to make half of the outline then copying that layer by dragging it to the button and going up to edit>transform>flip horizontally then lining it up on the other half of the car.)
if the line is not complete then grab the pencil and fill in the empty spots


now hit ctrl+e to merge the two layers into one

the next step is to lay down a base color. this is done by clicking the button to make a new layer then grabbing the eye dropper tool (shortcut = i) and clicking on the main color of the car

now color like a coloring book(inside the lines) use the pencil to do this


now it is time for the shade chart to come to use
make a new layer again by clicking the button select the eyedropper tool (shortcut = i) and select the darkest color on the shade chart

now make a 1 pixel line of this color in the areas that would be the darkest like the bottom


repeat this with the other colors use common sense think about how the light is hitting the car and where it would be darker or lighter

here's what i came up with after using all the different shades to color the kit this is a very simple plain kit with simple shading


i bet your thinking that the kit looks funny with the car showing through the hole in the kit
here's where we will fix that. hit d on the keyboard to make the foreground color black and then click on the layer named background. color black over the car where it is showing through the hole also there is a bit of gray showing under the kit so hit x to switch to white and color that part white.

now switch back to the outline layer and erase the black line on the top of the kit


that's pretty much it. the kit is too plain right now but im going to let you try to make it look more like a kit by adding vents and what not onto it

the same technique is used for making the skirt and rear bumper
note: when making the bumper in the side view try to make it look as much like the front as possible to bake it look like its one kit.

if you’re still having trouble feel free to pm me with your questions

lol good tut, i dont do it that way....no color chart or anything like that. what i do is if i know there is going to be something in a certain place, i shave everything in that area so there is only reflections, then i go over it and make what i want. its the same thing as what hynt does, except i only use 1 layer for my whole chop and its not as organized

Are there any tutorials besides this one anywhere that you guys know of. I would like to make a manga of my car, a 2003 Honda Civic Coupe but all I can find are blueprints. Here&#39;s my attempt at the RX7 c&c are welcome. It was my first try at a manga.
