Auto Review: Supercars |Three supercars deliver fun at 200-plus mph
For the final for this class, we combined everything we learned about drawing with Illustrator, using the pen tool especially, and adding the gradient and mesh tools for 3-D effect. Also, using global colors (which I may have forgotten to do throughout, but used most).
I had a lot more fun with this one and it took less time than The Potted Plant because I had a better idea of what I was doing. The toughest was knowing where to start, and whether to draw the car in segments or draw the whole outline and add the detail. I opted for the latter and I don't know whether it made a difference in the end, but I am very happy with the result.
I was showing my husband (a super-car mega fan) my progress and at first, he was just nodding and saying "nice"; when I started adding details and mesh for the shine effect, he had a big smile on his face and the "nice" became "NIIIIIIIIICE!" haha :). It's great to have a fan club. Hope you guys like it too!
Here is the final product :)
