Photoshop editing...

[Kell]

Many, many years ago I wanted to teach myself a little about Photoshop.

It was pre-all those tutorials on YouTube, so I had to set myself a bit of a project.

I like cars. Specifically I like Audis. And I'd seen someone do a 'minicar' as I called it.

This was my very first attempt. File says it was from Feb 2006. I didn't know anything about layers, blending or anything so everything I did, I did over the top of the original file, so couldn't go back and edit it.

Came out alright... but I had a lot to learn.

This was the first one I did when I started to learn more about layers. And I think I went backwards several stages as it looks awful.




Over the years, I've done a few more - normally of cars I really like.

Below.

One of the strangest things about this project is seeing the original cars again as they look w-a-a-a-a-a-y longer than they should.

 

[wornish]

Certainly different. You have created your own genre.
Think you have also cracked the use of Photoshop.

I like them

 

[dancook]

cute!

 

[garryknight]

Excellent idea and excellent execution of that idea.

 

[Kell]

Thanks all.

I can see several things wrong with some of my earlier ones. It wasn't till much later I worked out how to create new door shut lines.

And I've always been rubbish at creating shadows.

But I quite liked it as a project.

I haven't examined them in detail, but now that you mention it - that last one has extra circles of shadow around the tyres which don't belong.

These are fun. I've tried to do them before but given up, usually due to lack of time.

These are so cool, I love `em. Great work

 

[Bristolian]

I think these are great

 

[GeeJay57]

Good work, love it.

That last one clearly has a layer which I forgot to switch off somewhere as I've just noticed it actually has an extra bit of tyre in it.

Oops

I foolishly promised I could put her on a motorbike I didn't have . . . . .
