Photoshop rendering tips?

[oneninesixseven]

I wanted to post this and see what you guys think. This is my first attempt of doing a rendering. I know it is rough but any comments, suggestions, tips, or web links are greatly appreciated! I was a little hesitant to even post this because some of you guys have amazing talent. Any way let me know what you think.

Not bad, it looks very shiney! Overall the shading is pretty good.

A few things:

1.wheels are out of perspective and have a realistic look rather than the cartooney look the body has
2. continue that horizonline shine to the nose, it wouldn't stop at the front wheel
3. image is small so I can't see details in the grill
4. "shut lines" (door and hood lines) are way to dark and thick
5. you left out details that describe the fenderlips, there's a flare above the wheels on 67-68 Camaros
6. nose is too long

hope this helps!

Thanks Ben! I'll make some changes and post a new pic. How long have you been doing renderings? They look really good!

Thanks Brian! My mother still has my first car drawing from 4 years old. It's a blue tow truck...LOL. So 24 years I guess. I got pretty serious about it in college but didn't show anyone my stuff until about 2 years ago.

Keep sending in work, we love to see it! :thumbsup:

One of the many reasons you have to love your mom. Thanks for your help and I'll get some more pics up.
