My final graphic design class
My final graphic design class is Monday, and our final assignment was to do a technical illustration. I chose to do a T-38, the astronaut training jet.
Here's my photo:
And here's my illustration:
I've been staring at it long enough that my eyes have gone a little buggy, so if there's anything out-of-place or odd-looking, let me know. Here is a larger version if you really wanna inspect it...
Wow, that's really good! You'll have to tell me how this shading works in your program. I can see it wasn't a sunny day in the photo, so the shadows aren't crisp. You've done some shading near the nozzle that makes it look dirty, instead of shady. Maybe tone down the magnitude of the shading there a smidgen and see if that looks better?
The shading is all done with gradients. In some cases there are multiple gradients stacked on top of each other, at different angles, with different transparency settings.
As for dirty vs shady, you mean *on* the nozzle, or on the plane near the nozzle?
I mean on the plane just forward of the engine nozzles.
Wow, that's amazingly good.
