jonkelis, it looks like that it is a pencil sketch, imported to photoshop (or replace photshop with any software for 2d graphics) and then redrawn the pencil with computer. the shading (the color) definately looks like a tablet. possible in many layers and using masks not to draw over a black line

if you look at the sketch of the front wheel, you can see the lag from the tablet .. so I am guessing the sketch is made in photoshop using a tablet, since photoshops tablet update is kinda slow user added image

Nice work by the way

hey there, well this is what I do in PS. start with a blank file. use the wacom pen on a new layer get the rough shape in... then change the opacity to about 30% add a new layer mark out the true shape I want with the pen tool...then use the stroke path option to create the nice lines I want. delete the sketch layer then on anew layer beneath the"inked drawing i start painting... user added image

or... I'll just draw it then scan it in..use the curves tool to get rid of the light lines, multiply thedrawing layer use the multiply option and paint... https://jellybelly.epilogue.net you can see some of my other stuff here. Have fun and good luck!

wow, thats one amazing sketch! This had amazing potential to win, it would of had 5 stars in the idea range user added image

. Kinda late though to do such a design. Maybe though, if your good.. you could live without sleep until the end of the month surviving on coffee beans, loud music and maybe then you could finish it for the final user added image

.

Nah, if you can do it in a week.. i beleive ya. I have done similar projects.. noting like this.. but on a smaller scale user added image

. Hope we see this model from ya soon!
