Freddy33 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi added more detail and learned some new skills along the way. Still much to learn! StuartRc, BonnieJFW, GarryP and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This is a fine improvement on the last one. Lots more detail. I have two small issues: 1. As with the previous illustration, some of the buildings don’t seem to be in the reflection. 2. Is it just me, or is the reflection offset to the left by a small amount in some places?

Freddy33 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks buddy. Yeah i think there is a slight offset, I think it was just the way I aligned it (not very well. That reflection is a nightmare, my layers got all mixed up and I had groups all over the place. It started off organised but it got a bit cluttered and my pc was going so slow during editing when i got to the reflection stage so i left as be. Think I need to ensure I name everything so it makes it easier to navigate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I have found that naming layers can be extremely helpful when editing complex documents (not that my documents are very complex, particularly when compared to some of the amazing illustrations I’ve seen in this forum). Grouping layers helps a lot too, and making layers into children of other layers can also make things easier to handle. It might be worth leaving the reflection until last and then making a rasterised copy of the scene to make into the reflection. Also, if you put each building on a separate artboard, you can make a rasterised copy of each building to use in the main image and ‘switch off’ the artboard when you are not editing it. That might help to reduce some of the slow-down. dannyg9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy33 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks for this Garry. I never thought about nesting layers until now. This will help moving forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
