mcrdave Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Guys, been messing with illustrator / photoshop for a bit today (as the weathers bobbins!). I've created an illustration based on a photo I found on here ages ago. Does anyone know who took the shot originally? It's a really nice photograph took with a fish eye lens. I wanted to ask his/her permission to run out a few prints if anyone wants one. I'll post the illustration below. I was thinking of £10 for an A4 and A3 for £15 on really nice thick art paper. This is all dependent on sorting out some arrangement with the original photographer.Also I can hand illustrate your photo to create a similar effect. I do similar stuff on my website but not done any cars before! www.coffeeandbiscuits.co.ukCheers guys, any thoughts, comments welcome.

mcrdave Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks very much! Not really had any formal training, I did do a mac skills evening course then just kind of 'fell' into it. I've just been messing with illustrator and photoshop and found i loved illustrating stuff! I work for an ad agency now but the stuff we do his mainly horrible arts and leisure logos and adverts and things so my web stuff is what i do to get all the 9 to 5 stuff out of my system! Started doing the book covers for my gf who works for a publishing company.if you love messing and finding out how to do stuff you'll soon pick up the programmes, if you need an tips or pointers though feel free to give me a shout anytime!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrdave Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 great work!can you change any photo into illustration/sketch style? how much for standard photo size into a4??Yeah basically, I draw it out in illustrator then take it into photoshop and use the brushes and quite a few layers (25 in this case). Can be done to any photo, the higher the resolution the better though! I'll do a custom photo in colour or black and white (or any colour scheme you want) for £35.

Lukus 9N Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I think some moderators should start moving these posts to the marketplace. Edited January 22, 2008 by Lukus 9N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
