QUOTE (Baza210 @ Today at 5:53 AM)
Ray, your work is amazing. I signed up on IDF just to comment in this thread (although I'm a long time ID fan).

I'd like to ask a few questions about your method though, if that's ok..

1. Do you use the pen tool to trace the object, or do you create a vector shape i.e rectangle, then edit it?

2. How do you put gradients in your vector shapes? Do you Paths>Path to Selection it or is there some other way.. How are the gradients effected by resizing?

3. Do you have any good sites/links for Illustrator tuts for this kind of work? I'm fairly familiar with using Paths in Ps CS3, but I tried Illustrator, couldn't find the paths window, and freaked out.

here's an example of my vector work (using solid colours  unsure.gif )

welcome to IDW first of all.

1. yes, i use the pen tool only to trace the car or any vector im doing.

2. gradients are done after i have made the shape. once the shape of the highlight or shadow is done i just use a layer mask.

3. only tutorial i can suggest is donbenni's tutorial in deviantart. (just click my sig, leads you to my gallery but just search the site.)

lol illustrator is somewhat different. i love illustrator but i am TERRIBLE with the mesh tool to make gradients. i just use solid shapes in illustrator.

i like your work, very clean. i've only done one anime related thing in illustrator, otherwise its been logos etc.

this is actually my very first illustrator drawing ever lol.

as for the dc2 yea it'll def. happen, just not sure when as im still deciding on the wheels to use on the FC.

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to see if I can vector Suenaga's FD.

Would you recommend a stationary or in motion car? All your work seems to be stationary, is that easier?

another example of my paths work =P

Not bad, kid. I suggest a new thread for your stuff, just so this one can stay focused on the main topic.

Dunno what you're talking about, the pics are still in the first post, along new ones... well at least I hadn't seen them in this thread before. An FD and two Lexuses.
