Outlaw Late Model (My first paint!)
« on: 01/24/10, 05:25 PM »
Here is my first ever car I painted not too long ago (I'm pretty new to this) so I'd love to hear what you guys think good or bad, I realize the hoods a bit plain and empty but I wanted to keep it pretty simple. Oh and a big thanks to DawsonvilleBill9 for rendering it for me.

Just some suggestions:

Make the side numbers just a bit smaller (shorter).  They appear too tall.

Make the numbers a different color, like maybe yellow.  That white-on-white (above the blue) just doesn't look right.

Great job for a first car!!!  One thing I've found, is that after drawing the stripes, blur them slightly to get rid of the jagged edges.  If they are horizontal or vertical, it is no big deal, but on the curves like you have, it helps a little.  I agree with JMack12 that the numbers could be slightly smaller and maybe yellow.  But take these suggestions, and do your thing with them.  The more you play with these the better you will get, and the more fun it is!  But all in all, a great start for you there.  I like that car a lot!  Well, other than being a Toyota.....  heehee...   Keep asking questions!!

Yep, pretty darn nice for a first attempt. I'd agree with the suggestions already posted.

Thanks guys! yea I hadn't thought about the number size but I see that now. But the number color I had tried blue yellow and red from the stripes and none of them seemed to work well but I do agree the white on white looks a bit off, but Ill figure it out. Anyways thanks for all the comments and suggestions!!

And Skot71 haha don't worry I'm not a big toyota fan by any means, I was just excited to start painting and it was the first template I clicked on in the set of templates I downloaded lol.
