Hi everyone!
...first post, and first proper 2d photoshop project, excluding all the failed experiments I have done so far (too embarassing to show). 
A little helicopter in progress:
And here's the 3d reference I did to help me with the perspective...
I have an actual model here so I'm not doing this from imagination. Perfect for learning.
I'm actually a 3d only person, with a bit of experience in retouching and layouting stuff in Photoshop but that's about it! So I'm thinking it's time for me to finally get into 2d as well. Actually I had intended to make it more like a painting but it looks like it's going to be 3d-ish looking, I guess I'm too attached to the 3d world, hmm........
I'll post an update soon.
Janine

hi janine,
my first question would be, why would you want the pic look 'like a painting'?
keeping in mind that you are more a 3d person, i would suggest you go for 3d all the way. it would benefit the result of your piece, because then you could focus all your efforts into 3d, instead of a scattered focus across different known and unknown techniques.
photoshop can be used to great extent in texturing. you'd be amazed.
cheers! |

hehe, I know. I could probably do the helicopter in 3d within a few hours. I've been doing 3d for years. But I want to be able to create images without 3d, that's the point. Because it'll open up more oportunities job wise in the future. It's all about money afterall. I guess maybe this helicopter isn't the best object for a 'painting', might do a landscape next time. Anyway, I'll just keep going with the helicopter and see what I end up with.
