I don't use PhotoShop to get the lines, just color it. For the outline I use AutoDesk, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how to do it with PS. What I would do is make a copy of the car using the polygon lasso, then go to Select>Modify>Expand by 1 or 2 pixels, and just fill that in with black. If hat's no the right way to do it, I aplogize, but that's how I would do it.

Anyway, here's the final drawing of my Ford GT, now I have just have to thicken the lines and color. The white lines represent reflections and the gray lines represent shadows...

[Pinecone]

It isn't the right way, but you dont need to appologize

Edit: To shutup all the people who want to find out how to do Vectors:

It's a big image, and it takes a lot of time, and the one l showed you is for intermediate to advanced Photoshoppers (I'm more intermediate then noob, thats why mine are more simplistic)

[xHaZxMaTx]

Ok, what colors should I make my Ford GT? I was thinking either red w/ white stripes, white w/ blue stripes, or blue w/ white stripes.

-EDIT-
I'ma just go with the white w/ blue stripes.

-EDIT-2
All done.

[Pinecone]

Heres mine

It's a big file, who's is better?

[xHaZxMaTx]

Well, I decided, "What the hey," and made the red w/ white stripes, which turned out to be a good idea, because now you can see more of the reflections...

[xHaZxMaTx]

I looked at that tut, and I was wondering why your lines are so jagged? You can make them smooth even without curving them, just make more lines for tighter curves.

[Pinecone]

your lines are much more jagged then mine, l use the pen tool, your way is not even a vector

[xHaZxMaTx]

No, I mean they're not round, they're compiled of a bunch of straight lines. Mine aren't jagged, the image is just low quality.

-EDIT-
See, look, like this. You're curves are like the second circle, but if you use just a little more nodes, or whatever you want to call them, you can make the line look much smoother.

[Pinecone]

l took your advice, and l created the most high quality Vector. Even l seem to be a bit in a daze

:schock: Thiose vectors look very good.
I love that Porsche and Ford GT

[Pinecone]

Thanks, lm working on a VW Concept, this one is gonna take a while

[R34GTR]

This work is really impressive guys! Keep it up

Might try this some time

[Tunerfreak]

I had a go at a Supra, its my first try, its probly a bit detailed for a vector, and I couldnt be bothered with the rims or headlights.

[Pinecone]

it's not bad, shading is pretty good, but the outlines are very pixilated

[Tunerfreak]

Thanks, there was one point where I was accidentaly drawing on the wrong layer That made the aa a white gradient on the lines over the red car shading. Ill try not to do that next time

If you want to make a perfect vector car you should do it in illustrator peeps... PS isn't made for this

[Pinecone]

I tried download the trial for illustrator but it didnt install correctly

[donaldgladden]

when i saw the word Vector i was expecting a Britsh supercar last seen in GT4. guess dreams do come falling and crashing down

[xHaZxMaTx]

Spectre vector! (If you looked in the Car Sketch Ideas thread, you would get it.)

[xHaZxMaTx]

-BUMP-

[korge]

That is a wierd (ugly) car hood/trunk.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Ya, I messed on the headlights.

[Pinecone]

the bodylines are strange as hell

[xHaZxMaTx]

What do you mean?
