2d form bashing

Learn how to create convincing car illustration using library of pre-defined shapes and forms. Enjoy playing with real and abstract components while reaching professional level of presentation.
In this lesson you will be guided through the process of drawing the side view of vehicle. While this method is very easy to adopt, it is not limited to entry level audience and could be successfully used at any production environment.

Target audience: Entry level, beginners
Requirements: Basic knowledge of Photoshop or digital image editing.

Tools used: Photoshop CS5 and on, alternatively Affinity Photo, GIMP, Sketchbook.

Limitations: In order to reach maximal quality, Photoshop is recommended due to ability to work with custom vector shapes.

You will get:
- 84 minutes 1080p training video
- 2 demonstration files in PSD format
- 45 template forms in Photoshop shapes format
- 45 template forms in TIF format
