I did the drawing in Illustrator and hopefully I will do a shirt with all of the Mustang generations on it. I would have to simplify it for production but I can do that later on.


Im a graphic artist, and i used Corel Draw on a regular basis - also illustrator on occasion - curious as to how you drew it, did you scan in an image and "ink" over it? also how did you add the shadowing effects? i like learning new techniques!
 
Took a picture from 50resto's web site that I liked and went to town. The Colors and Highlights are based on a 3 tone system of colors: Shadow, Midtone, and Highlight. Once you define the colors then you just look at the subject and replicate what YOU see.(just start putting down color) Because everyone sees things different.

I tried Corel when I first started and found Adobe easier to learn not to mention the hot keys translate to everything else I use during the day. Yet I know people who swear by it.
 
one thing I noticed, If you are going to make it where you can see the int. and everything, you should make it so you can see the inside of the quarter throguht the windows and same with the window frame on the drivers side. Other than that, it looks great.
