well.. its not too clean, im sure u could have spent alot more time on it but good job

cpc

yea i know, i had to do it in MS Paint cuz my PSP7 wouldnt load up, i may touch it up or just do a diff car, i think it looks ok, but all criticism is welcome along with advice


although i give it this, its does look alot more cartoon-ish then cel-shaded

it looks like you just took the paintbrush and just drew all over it?

if ya wanna know how to do cel shading, it's a simple process. use the line tool to outline the car and shadows, the use the selection tool and paint bucket to fill in areas.

there's tutorials everywhere on how to actually do a true cel shade. 8ate8 has a good method that's simple to do. Technically his isn't a true cell shade, because what that entails is the following.

-Make a copy of the car layer, lighten it so you can see the lines
-Make a new layer, outline the car body lines/shadow lines.
-Copy/paste that to a new image. Choose your color.
-Do that color over the entire body of the car.
-For the darker areas, layer the color on heavier and heavier.

That's it in a nutshell. I did a cel shade using that method, and while it looked incredible, 4 hours and 36 layers later I still wasn't done. My patience went out the window. when it's done right, it looks awesome, though. But I can achieve the same quality art with a pencil, some colored pencils, and an art marker or two. :D
