Ack, late! Well, at least I somehow managed to catch up...
Anyway, for today I decided to try doing vectors. Almost-vectors. I was watching this video about someone drawing a vector of a car and thought, hey, I have a ton of cars in GTA Online that I'd love to try this on. Looked pretty simple too.
So I loaded up my game, pulled out my Ruiner from the garage, and took some screenies of it. I loaded the screenies in Photoshop and got to work. I thought then this wouldn't take me as long as it usually would; boy, I thought wrong. Instead of a mere three hours, this project got me for seven. 😑
Still, I found more stuff on Photoshop to fiddle around with, like the Magnetic Lasso Tool, which I had no clue of until I watched that hyperlinked video. Now I know how people manage to snap off stuff from other photos so cleanly... Really good to know. 😄
Aside from drawing the rims (which I decided not to actually do for the sake of meeting deadlines) on the tires, I think the trickiest thing on this piece was the text on the door. I couldn't figure out what the font used on the Ruiner was, so I decided to just trace the font myself. After that, I used the Select Tool to just create some really thin lines across the blue parts and erased the selections to get the same design nailed down.
