VectorVonDoom Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I’m not really much of a motorbike person but fancied doing one for a long time and Peter’s Ducati drawing reminded me that it’s about time I got around to it. I didn’t want to do the whole thing this time, I wanted a small’ish project. There are a few crops that looked good but I wanted the Ducati name in it. This is a slight crop of a crop to make it A paper size. Adding depth of field, so some things at varying degrees of out of focus, was a bit fiddly at times but not too bad. The petrol cap was sort of interesting as the reflections made it look very vector like in the photo. One of my favourite bits is the green petrol (I assume) pipe and clip (the clip took just over an hour) which doesn’t jump out at you but I really like it. Of course I also like my brake pivot screw that I showed the other day, together with the horn section. There is one bit I was lazy about, on the fork crown the black paint in the photo had texture which I didn’t do. However photos of other bikes show it smooth painted so I’m OK with that. I think the brown stripe on the tank was actually yellow when new but I’ve yet to see one where it’s still that colour other than on a model. It could be the models are wrong though. Near the end it was killing my MacBook so I split it and used a master for the finished stuff. Ignore any banding on the tank it only shows up on the upload. There are a few tiny bits that I might do as I get time but I’m quite happy with it. The main image is half size. I did think to look at how much they go for these days, they’re not cheap.

Peter Rodbourn Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi Marc, Very impressive, Something for me to aspire to. I'll keep working on my technique. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorVonDoom Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi Peter, That's one reason to post. Whilst it's always nice for people to say they like it, hopefully it also pushes some people who want to try that style to take their work further. If I can do it then I'm sure most can, it's patience and not skipping details. I'm not sure it would help, it's pretty obvious and much the same as the Jaguar, but I could message you the AD file.

Peter Rodbourn Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thanks Marc, I would certainly be interested in seeing the details of the process in the AD file. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Window 10 Desktop AD Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Are you kidding me:) That is not a picture you took, you are crazy good at this stuff. I can not believe my eyes.

VectorVonDoom Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks. I think I'm OK but you can always improve and I'm trying some new things to get better at it. Quote Marc ArtByMarc.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Window 10 Desktop AD Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Better LOL you should see my stuff I thought I was doing so good not I want to kill myself LOL. You are amazing and hope to see more stuff:) Quote Windows 10 desktop ram 8g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorVonDoom Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 There are a many different styles, aiming for photorealistic is just one, and they're all good as long as you enjoy creating them. There's no best one for everyone. But yes I do want to be better than that. I've been having a think about what I really want to do and it's better quality rather than more quantity. More just takes longer but isn't any more difficult. Quote Marc ArtByMarc.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Window 10 Desktop AD Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Well, I can't wait to see some. I guess if you do a motorcycle the next time I want a ride cause if it gets more real you will be able too LOL.

VectorVonDoom Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 I you like that sort of style look at the Jaguar, Ferrari and Golf. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/46909-1965-ferrari-dino-berlinetta-speciale-ad/&tab=comments#comment-234716 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/54917-jaguar-e-type-lightweight-ad/&tab=comments#comment-278767 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/45896-the-image-i’m-submitting-for-16-promo-vw-golf-gti-16-ad/&tab=comments#comment-229455 In a way the Golf's my favourite. It's the first one I did and wasn't really going for realistic it just happened. That's one's different as the car doesn't use any blurs. I've tidied up the background since. I wasn't going to do the Ferrari but did a nice radial gradient for the wheel and thought why not. Quote Marc ArtByMarc.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Window 10 Desktop AD Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I can not believe those are not pictures. You are so good and thank you for sharing those with me. So those sketches are they on the computer also? Quote Windows 10 desktop ram 8g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
