NoLongerHere Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 My brother's started to get in to painting bike frames and I thought it would be nice to create some templates that would show potential designs in a slightly more realistic way. Often it's just a flat drawing which doesn't give you quite the idea of what it would look like all finished and shiny. So here's the first two I've done, road/track frames with fairly random default paint applied. The highlights and shadows are blend modes so will work with any colours. They're not extremely detailed but enough to give you a better idea. EngraverHand, Leigh, Pauls and 16 others 19 Quote

NoLongerHere Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 Those angles are a bit (a lot) too steep for me but as it defies gravity I guess that doesn't matter The first thing I would do is swap the saddle, it doesn't look comfy. DesignSurge 1 Quote
Scottish Stu Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I know this is an old post but hoping you can help. I also paint bike frames as am a spray painter and started doing for friends etc. Can I ask what software you used to do the designs? Thanks Quote
