Re: Challenge 303: Dress the car

Thanks Steve. The churns were an afterthought - I'd made the grass grow all around the car. My technique for the grass cuts out laborious painting - I put the car on top of the meadow, then take the eraser, choose the brush style that looks like 3 blades of grass, then erase at random until it looks right! Much easier than painting it in!

. I am going to have to mention the perspective thing, though: the vanishing lines in the car should point in the same direction as those on the street behind. Easy enough to shear this one!

I think that's true only if it's a good driver. I went for authenticity on this one, where the car has one tire on the curb and the rear end is sticking out into the street.

Lotz,

You're image is very small. The guys taught me what to do. When you are finished, go save for Web Devices. Get the width ~800. Press quality. 60 is great, but just go lower and lower until you see the size of image <97kb. Then save, and post. Of course, you can post a link to your preferred host website too, but I don't think direct posted link will go down well. And if it complains, just ignore it at the start it will sort itself out (Sorry I forgot who we were at the moment)

Gordon GKB, Nick, et al covered this several times, my time to share our commons

Good luck,
Trevor

Oh And I like your image ...., bt love to see it larger ....
