Create a Glossy Sports Car Seat Icon in Photoshop – Psd Plus Tutorial
Mar 25th in News by Constantin Potorac
Discover Pro Icon Illustration Techniques
First of all, I would like to thank a good friend of mine Negreu Andreas for collaborating with me and creating this wonderful tutorial. This tutorial is about creating a sports car seat icon using the Brush Tool and a few easy techniques to create more gloss and carbon fiber. We will start the tutorial from a simple sketch and then, step by step, improve the image until we get the result we are looking for. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and the future projects Negreu Andreas and I will work on together.

( )cuddles March 25th
looks alright, perspective and shading is off tho
( )Timothy March 25th
Ya perspective is off. Top left corner looks strange. Like plastic melting in the sun.

Wow, awesome, nice work
( )Chris Robinson March 25th
Just by looking at the previews it looks decent at first glance but as “cuddles” also stated the right upper bolster seems to be outta perspective and why do some parts look like shiny vinyl/leather and the others look like soft suede? I thought this was supposed to be a “Glossy Sports Car Seat”? Wouldn’t the whole thing need to look like plastic or carbon fiber in that case?
I’m sure there’s some nice techniques used in the Tut, but I don’t have a + membership so I can only comment on the final product.

As NAF has mentioned we created some glossy parts but also wanted to keep that leather on it as well.
( )Naf March 25th
The idea is that it was created for the icon and an icon mat not look too good, so he created a chair glossy idea tutorial is to show how you can make the brush, how not arrange perspective, very nice btw

Wow. So many negative comments. I think that people should have their work accessible so they could back up their comments. I think this is great.
( )Mike March 25th
Looks great, but this is perhaps the most random tutorial ever.
( )Sanne Terpstra March 25th
Agreed
But that doesn’t make sense.. I think a lot of reader will do this tutorial!

( )Master March 26th
Nice, you must rotate a little your seat and the tut is gone.
Illustration you cant teach. You learn with it or forget.

Excuse me asking me, but u do not you all get bored to reply to all the site? I see everywhere like a reply from you, something ironic sure..

The guy who made this tutorial should be instructed in how perspective works, evenness is nowhere to be found. Look at the difference between the lower kind of holes, they even have a different angle.
