Graphic Edition

Car Design Video Tutorial

I am getting 2-3 requests per week from people who want to learn more about how to design graphics on cars. My previous tutorial is ranked the 2nd most popular article of all time and to satisfy this growing demand I have created another tutorial for you.

This time we are going to turn a sketch into something that looks real. This is the way most people present ideas to potential clients.

The duration of the video is a little over 11 minutes, and the interaction has been speeded up to twice the normal speed (hence it really took 22 minutes to draw).

Do you or can you do a narrated version in regular speed? This is by far the best and only tutorial that shows a thorough design layout for vehicle graphics in Photoshop. I'd like to follow along with the video to learn.

Unfortunately I do have the time to make another version of this - I am in the middle some big projects. Sorry for being of more help.

Awsome work.. Please make some more videos. A problem here, is that theese files could not be used to make the production files for the car foil, so you would have to do the job all over again in illustrator. It needs to be vector for the printer/cutter to understand what and where it should print/cut.
