new to this site, also known as, some of my profiles

[inkworm]

Hey at least our stuff has variety, pale ales, IPAs, bitters, stouts, porters, milds. And then there are the fine ciders and perrys

Getting back on topic for a moment with the profiles, personally I prefer to see all out shading and rendering or flat colours, not a halfway house which is neither one or the other.

Hi all,

I am new to this site, but have been here a few times before to get some info and ideas for my profiles. i just started doing these a few months ago but was into flight sim re-painting years ago.

here is a link to my profiles..as well as a sample of some of my work:


Thanks for looking and ill see you around these parts,
Sean

Hi "Single"Sean

your very fat watermark is unnecessary and extremely ugly.

Yeah me too, depends on if the absence of shading is done on purpose or something that Martin is still working on.

hey come on guys,

i was easing him in gently, then hit him full tilt about the shape of his profiles

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Nice plastic models too

Why?

thanks for the comments and warm welcomes all.

as for the shading.. that is he best I could do without making the profile look odd. shading is still my weak point so I am adding just enough to give it some depth.

eventually I will go through some of the tutorials here and try to make them look better.

Well Sean never be afraid to ask, I don't think anyone here would mind giving some advice

Some thrive on it

Shading isn't too hard, it is all about understanding light and form, the way the light falls on a F-104 isn't all that different to a drink can.

Throw in some reflection and highlights according to the level of gloss you desire and that's it. Don't be afraid to try out new options and be bold about it, can always use ctrl+z (unless you're a mac type of a person but that can't be helped)

Most of it is gradients anyway
