In photoshop this shouldn't be so hard. I was recently taking a look at a "How to make a car" on photoshop, and it looked very hard. The level was set at experienced. I was wondering how they made the outline alone, since it was so complex. When people make logos and place them in contests, how do they do this so fast? Do they actually make there logos from scratch, or take someone else's and modify it?

There must be a trick to that, because there are a lot of contests held, and so many people in them, with real nice designs.

I think on contests like that you will find both, ppl who done it by scratch and those who modifies..

I myself have done both many times..
I dont modify other ppls work without asking .. and its from ppl I know.

Yeah I knew there had to be a reason. Some people's work are 100 % legit and beautiful. I don't know how they do it. They must do it for a living, because they are literally artists.

Ye some of them are so skilled, I get really impresed by those who make work like that ..

If you play around with photoshop enough and are artistically inclined then you can get pretty good at creating custom logos from scratch

I wish I had photoshop.

I love my photoshop best piece of software I own

Really? You'll have to teach me sometime. I have trouble with that, as I can make different types of logos, etc. I can use the effects pretty well and make unique types of things, but making cars, and humans, etc, is just too hard. I really am learning though, so I will get it I'm sure, so a little help can't hurt right?

Alittle magic with the pen tool and you will have yourself a nice outline of the car.

:drool: I'm interested! I want to learn perfectly!

Im interested in what sort of results you get here

Hehe, I should make a photoshop tutorial site or something....hmmmmmm

lol - compete with good-tutorials? good luck

Something that is maybe categorized alittle better then good-tutorials. I dont like how they organized everything on that site to much, my site could be a mix of deviantart and good-tutorials.

sounds like youve got a plan there - go for it

A plan to big to take part on without someone else hehe, are you good at coding or know anyone that is very good?

I know enough to get by with coding - Im a designer myself - not a coder

It depend what kind of car you want to trace... Hm.. For me... I use vector, to make a car, completely... Some image like this:


This is vectoring in Photoshop :P If a car, I'd do it the same way though :P
