Having glasses with thick sides (not that bad) it will severely affect driving safety in terms peripheral vision. As for design it's ok, but nothing really new.

I'm not a fan of thick temples on Rx frames, and you'll rarely see something that exaggerated on a prescription frame. As far as glass design, for myself it is always hard to judge what glasses look like in person, even when provided with a good photograph. I used to do draw glasses from time to time, but I haven't designed anything lately. It seems like a neat industry.

I'm actually currently in the process of hunting for a new set of glasses. I've currently got Oakley Off Line 4.0s but they're showing their age and I've had them for 5 years. I'm looking at getting ic! berlin but can't find a retailer with a good enough selection in the GTA.

Check out ic! berlin if you're into ID, they're quite ingenious.

A bit overdone on details IMO.

I want pair of Black High Gloss glasses that have A17 in Chrome Engraving like drawn above :dopey:
 
i don't know i havent worn glasses before, i think i might like having a BIT of weight when i'm wearing the glasses, a weightless object sitting on my face feels and sounds a quite awkward

Trust me, you would want the lightest thing possible on your face for 16 straight hours. My current ones are on the heavy side, and after trying on a pair of the ic!'s it was like being able to take deep breaths of fresh air after only being able to breath out of a straw for a year. It makes a difference.

I actually just bought them as well.
 
I really want to be able to draw like "concepty" type cars. Ive been just scribbling all through school for like the past week, i've gone through a pile of about 6 books, 4 top gear magazines, 1 "CAR" magazine, and 1 big fat car encyclopaedia looking for inspiration. >.< I mean i can draw designs from side on view, and im alright with a 3/4 from the rear, but i still cant draw from the back, front, or front 3/4... Any tips?
 
Err, I guess I'll post this here.

This is a concept car I drew up today, then rendered with photoshop. Just trying to fill up my gallery space. I'm not sure if I should go ahead and complete this, or start a new one with a better view/perspective of the car. I might consider this one as a bit of a test version. :) But I do like it! I guess it's inspiration from Deviantart members and Mazda concept cars.

Yep, I used that tutorial. Probably the best one I've seen on the site so far.
And the sketch layer I can just get rid of any time, so it doesn't bother me at all. Because I didn't get to the 'extreme detailing' part, I lightly added the original sketch so you guys could see where I was heading. 👍
But yes, I've decided to start over... so that was really a test version to get my bearings together.
 
Man, I used to love painting cars in NASCAR 96 or so - a looooong time ago. I came up with some pretty decent stuff, considering that you had to literally paint pixel by pixel.

I like the Famous Dave's livery.

Thanks, I'm a site artist on the biggest NASCAR 09 paint site on the net, and apparently pretty good (going off of other's feedback)

I'll post some more soon.

When I was a kid (around 10 or so) I designed a W configuration engine with drawn (had drawn) diagrams, labels and everything, I at the time never heard of the engine design before. I also designed (drawn out) a whole bunch of other engine designs and features, I used to think of engines a lot. One idea I had I still havent seen it implemented on a engine yet. (probably thought of but never worked :lol: )


I wish I could find these drawings now, they'll be around somewhere still.

What site? I personally didn't like that tutorial too much. Why? I don't remember. I used this tutorial as my introduction to photoshop, Designer Techniques, but specifically this one; Emre Husmen - Photoshop Rendering.
 
program you used was.........?

Possibly a Step-By step of what you did that I'll take as a tutorial.........?
 
Google sketch-up is a pretty good program to design 'stuff' on. I have a work in progress model of my house. Ive also done stuff for school.
 
Here's some stuff I modelled in SketchUp, then exported to a different program for rendering. This is a house I designed last year; it's currently under construction.

Wow, that is amazing, sorry for the late response...I completely forgot about this thread.
 
i hated using sketchup... there's nothing that identified depth due to a plain beige backdrop, on top of that, things snapped to piece i didn't want. And when I want to move a shape i made it only moves that one face.
 
Sketchup takes skill, you must learn to use all the tools it gives you but even so there is a few things not quite right.
 
It was on the sample they gave me so I simply vectored (live trace) it and made a background out of it.
