Started something new.

Hi John, I think it's coming along nicely.
To give the tailplane more depth, try doubling up the shading by duplicating the layer. Adding the cast shadow from the tailplane will help a lot too.

I wouldn't worry about it too much at this stage, though, keep going as you are and then add the extra shading and stuff later. If you try and make it look perfect now, standing alone, it might look out of place later with the rest of the plane done.

hi grubby,

yep still lots to do, including the cast shadow, i wonder if thats why it don't look right, will try to get the main wing on this week, then do all the cast shadows together.

question!

my Jasac PSP7 only lets me see 9 layers, how do i find the rest, i have to keep going into PSP10 to move the layers!!!!

[Otterkins2]

PSP7??? Well, you solve the problem by uninstalling it. Find a newer version or switch to Photoshop. I have PSP7 & 10 both and they aren't good for much. All in what you get used to I guess. You've pushed it further than I ever thought it was capable of.

hi otter,

i have PSP7 and the newer Corel X, also i have illustrator CS3, but that might as well be about quantum mechanics for what sence i can make out of it

just to show i ain't just jumping on you guys, here is where i am at the moment, not happy with the wheel, looks too flat, must find a way of showing the wheel hubs as it should be.

Last time I'll say it John. If you need help figuring out the basics of Illustrator, just message me.
