Parking The Packard
Feb 22, 2024 10:00:05 #
For this image I used a photo of a 1937 Packard (posted by one of our members) as my main model for the car. It was a convertible in the photo but I wanted a coupe. I reused the mountain background from a different image I created a few weeks ago and the background temple is a new construct from my imagination. As in the past, everything here was created in Adobe Photoshop starting with a blank white file. The car's tires were the hardest part to get right and they're still far from perfect. Your thoughts are always appreciated. Chris

A small fix would be to add tread to the right front tire. A fix for the rear tire might be accomplished by using a Vanishing Point filter.

Thanks. There was tread on that front tire. I wonder what happened to it.
I'll have to look into the Vanishing Point filter. I admit I don't know exactly how it works. But Google will explain it I'm sure.

The wheels can easily be manipulated simply using Edit>Transform.

Wow. what a great job you did on this model! The background is especially effective, I would suggest an abstract composition using the style you used on it!

Thank you Veronica. It's all rather "abstract" in my mind, so please explain more fully how you define the term for me to understand your suggestion.

Another charming creation! I don't mind the wheels at all; they are just part of the whimsy. The framing is a little tight for me (horizontal), and the brown-orange sky I'm not 100% in love with, though I suspect it could turn out to be the best color for balance and contrast, as you've probably already worked through that

Thank you Linda. I think perhaps you give me more credit for critical thought than I deserve. BTW, this may be the first vertical or portrait layout I have ever done. I can't really explain why I did it with this image. Some things defy explanation.
