my finished kia before I submit just want to get some feed back see if I can improve on it.

good luck to all others.

every one knows the base I hope so here's the chop:


I hope you like it, it is my first attempt at reflections (rebrushing and brushing) and changing the background. do let me know what you think.

Thanks for all the comments, did some updates but wont have time to do more.

its pretty nice chop, and bg is changed nicely, brushing is good

Wow, that's very noce chop ! The brush is nice, bg changed perfectly, not a big fan of that front but that's amazing especially the LED lights hehehe maybe just the rear wheel is off

best advice i can give you at this point is work on your selections ..
you needs to play with the feather settings , try a feather setting of 0,2 for sharp selections...
i see a lot of jagged lines on the hr

also the inner arch shapes are just not flowing and round in the bends , so either take more time or maybe change the way you select

now i use the polygonal lasso tool and freehand my selections , but (and i think most people will say this) in most cases people cant get great selections that way ...
so what do you use polygonal or the pen tool ?

i know the pen tool will give a great result if you master it , its easyer to make nice bend and all .. so if you never used it try to look for a tutorial on the pen tool
and try selections with that , after your done you can choose the feather for your selection

but like i said , i have 10/10 vision and a steady hand and i just work best with the polygonal ..
key on that is to really zoom in so you see what you do best ...

then there is the angle thing , i guess at this point you need to use moe reference material when brushing

all ment well and helpfull its also a very simple explanation , copuld write so much more info here but sometimes it either takes to much time or is hard to explain with just words

keep it up

Guessing hr means High Res
I normally use the polygon lasso and then erase with a hardnes of 98%....I have used the pen tool before so I might give that a go. I see what you mean though with the jagged edges especially on the arcs. I'll also try the feather seams way easier to select correctly with the pen and just feather

Thanks a lot. Actually it's this kind of constructive criticism which pushes me to do better. Don't get me wrong I love the praise but if everyone tells you its perfect then you'll keep doing it wrong. This place is great for that!

I still have a couple of days so hopefully I can work on it

Thanks!

you can also set the feather with the polygonal btw , do it before selecting
there is a small box and try 0,2 then click ounce with the polygonal so its set
maybe yuou knew his but .....

i knew it just never used it...didn't come to mind to try and make things easier for myself

I'd say both wheels could use some turning counter-clockwise.
Shame the grille at the bonnet has no mesh or anything to fill it up.
Also the reflections on the window are too blue, look at how orange the sky is
Entire car could use some colour like that too.

I tried to copying the reflections on the window of the car that was underneath. But I do understand what you mean. i'll give it a shot this weekend and let you guys know how it goes.

thanks

if its your first brushing then its very good...but your selections are bad...don't hurry man...keep it easy and you will have better selections...KEEP IT UP
