alright this is not my chop but from the topic starter so keep the in mind no stealing here !!!!
gonna help out here !!!!
alright i thought lets make this into a tutorial and be able to show what i mean
this is done real quick and the most important steps are viewable :
first the result :
a round wheel well with inner and outer lines that are round and not smudged / blurry.
i did not make it to sharp beause the quality of the pic is real low..
result :
again said this is done quick quick take your time and get a good quality pic and things are way better.
nice thing is on most of my chops i do these things than keep some things real simple and people say not much done but all those things that can not be seen are as important as the obvious things..
here is how it's done :
choose the eliptical tool like here :
make some sort of selection like this / u make a circle right click and then choose TRANSFORM SELECTION and transform it into the well like so :
now pick the color black from inside the wheel well and bruch it in black like so :
then select inverse , this makes the selection reverse so that not the inside of the circle can be altered but the outside is selected , but watch out with this because now all that is outside of the circle , so the whole pic is selected
now use the smudge tool and gently (with a real small size) smudge the reflection onto the circle edge (can also be brushed but ....)
i also made a new edge between fender and bumper and made selections for getting the reflections more towards teh front..
but that dousn't show here the base idea is there just try this yourself
now like you said don't say this is off point it out ...can't point it out more clearly just made a tut for you so don't complain lol hahahah
