Aero-S-106-(MiG-21F-13) 1103
Too bad they don't have a PF (my fav)...

Interesting approach, do you do it all vector or move to raster later and what's the vector app, coral or illy?

Oh, yes! France, Paris and Mig-21. Three beautiful things on the world. I was in Paris, beautiful city

My method is very crazy. Simple description: complet vector + basic linear shadows(Corel Draw), export to raster (Photopait),and finish in Photoshop(some special effects). I know it is unnecessarily complicated. But do not do it professionally, just as a hobby

Not complicated or crazy, I work in a similar way, do all the flat stuff, outlines, stencils, rivets, panel lines in Illustrator and then import the whole lot as paths or smart objects into photoshop. Though I do add large areas of colour in photoshop instead of illy.

Which sounds quite similar to your method but everyone has a very different way of achieving the same results.

On the other side of the spectrum, I don't use Illustrator at all Only Photoshop!

It´s not crazy.

You need curves anyway ... so its easier to make it in AI or Corell, resize as you need (or want) and then export to PS.

But for me I easier to do all colour, shadowing and lightening works in PS

But to be fair you did only create two profiles in 1998 of a F104 and a F16 and have just been reworking those two ever since so don't need anything else

I much prefer the flexibility that curves and anchors allow personally then vector mask groups in photy.
