This was an exercise in shading and that is what I meant by doing it to see if I could do it. Actually the race cars with the sponsors and stuff all over them are easier in some ways than just straight shading. I am learning as I go.

In this case the printed piece looks better than the jpeg on the web. I think one of the things throwing it off is that the blacks are not very dark on the web version. This is due to technical reasons because I design everything in CMYK for printing and then convert to RGB for the web.

Also this is a 20"x30" original and they tend to lose a lot of detail at the tiny 600 pixel wide size I display here. It is interesting how some look better smaller and others look better larger.

I am going to have to take a break from these for a week or so, I have a motor I have to pull and rebuild on a Mercedes and I am over the cold I had so back to it for me.

Here is a bit more detail in this sample but this is still no where near the actual size of the piece.
