This Premium Tutorial is Filled with Creative Tips

Again we have decided to collaborate for another great tutorial that will help you improve your Photoshop skills, Negreu Andreas is a young friend of mine, at only 18 years old he is starting on the right side of the road, working his way up to creating great Graphics.

Together we are learning new techniques that we are very happy to share with you. We both have different ideas and ways of working, and interesting techniques to show you that will help you improve your Photoshop abilities.

This tutorial is about creating a car dashboard using simple techniques like Dodge and Burn, with black and white brushes, gradients and strokes. The techniques used for this tutorial are similar to the technique we have used to create the icons that you can check out at Create a Glossy Sports Car Seat Icon in Photoshop – Psd Premium Tutorial and How to Create a Virtual Auto Using 100% Brush Techniques, but in this tutorial everything has been applied on a larger scale.

    Wow. this looks awesome. I do a TON of 3D renderings entirely in photoshop, so I’m sure a lot of the techniques in this tut will be quite helpful to me. Can’t wait to get home and download this one. :)

    This is the first time I’ve actually kind of wanted a plus membership!

  • http://noir-badger.deviantart.com spiderm0nkey

    Holy snap! Instant download on this one!

    Who said the quality of tutorials is going down… lol I’ll slap you all. This looks incredible!

  • http://www.wix.com/controlzee/controlzee Controlzee

    jeez… thats AMAZING… it looks great except the white view through the windshield.. there should be something there… thats the only flaw I can see here… Anyway, I would download it instantly if I had plus.

    • http://noir-badger.deviantart.com spiderm0nkey

      Not necessarily a flaw. Gives us room to add our own touch to it. We can put in whatever background we like to personalise it :)

      • http://www.constantinpotorac.com Constantin Potorac

        Exactly ;)

  • Lingura

    This kind of tut gets me down every time, cuz I try and I try and still cannot get awesome and stunning results. But I don’t give up! Downloading this as I type and scavenge the work of a master *chuckles*

  • http://www.nelutu.info Nelutu

    very nice result :)

  • http://teachingtv.wordpress.com Jim C.

    Never wanted a Plus Membership as I do right now. Wish they paid us lowly teachers more…Should think about bringing back the option to pay for a single download…Just a thought.

    Impressive work!

  • http://perideodesign.com jaredef

    Sure its stunning, however, this is a job better suited for 3d modeling software.

  • http://www.ignician.net tayf

    I have to agree with the above. The result is not impressive at all, you could achieve a better result in 3D or photo-manipulation.

    Hopefully people still learn something from the techniques.
