From PhotoChop to Bubble-top
I then focused my attention on the bumper corner for some reshaping. I tested the idea of stretching it and extending the set of slots back over the area where the wheel well once was.
********************************************************************************************************************
I use Adobe Illustrator® to make a perspective grid, but it can be done inside the p-shop image by increasing the canvas’ width; Menu-Image/Canvas Size, and double the width number.
********************************************************************************************************************
As with any work-in-progress, there’s always the possibility of changes. Here I decided to delete this section of chrome:
********************************************************************************************************************
I really didn’t want to paint another red car, so, Menu-Image/Adjust/Hue Saturation, and moved the Hue slider, Saturation slider and Lightness slider around until this dull green interested me enough to move on. I turned the original photo layer on in the background to use as a shading reference.
********************************************************************************************************************
Establishing the car’s color allows me to move on, to experiment with the background and get rid of that cotton candy color!

Below, I painted the far headlight tube.

WOW! Charlie! This demo came out great. I am so honored with the attention. Thank you for the opportunity to show off. I have continued fine tuning ELROYDORADO, but it’s not quite finished. Everybody will have to visit the \Tips, Techniques and Tutorials\ in Motorburg’s terrific artists forum to stay caught up. Thanks again (Problem Child, too).
Great tutorial Keith! I love the final artwork.
Very good tutorial!!!! I’m not sure, but I think this could be applied to a program I have on my computer called Xara Xtreme 5….Do you know anything about this program? I use this program to set up my drawings for building my vehicles as described in my web sit at modelsbyken.com
Hi Ken, I visited the XARA website on Saturday evening and I must say that the software looks powerful. I can’t say if you can get the same results. Their website building software looks really great for anyone who knows not HTML. Thanks for the compliments. You should post your models in Motorburg’s Modeling Agency sometime soon.
My fanship has been galvanized by this one man.
Wow
Absolutely fantastic.
Lemorris, thank you. Great new word; fanship. I immediately pictured a fan-ship. How about, fandom? Fanhood?
Awesome tutorial, Keith, it took me back to Step By Step Magazine from the late 80’s and through the 90’s, absolute top quality!
