I've never done this before and I pooped this out in 10 minutes!


Not the best picture to do, but it was the first one I could find. I'll take some good pictures tomororw and get to working. So far, it looks pretty good, even though I rushed into it. Give me some feed back

^Yeah, I like what you did there. The fact that the lines aren't all uniform actually adds to it, to my eyes. You should try adding some colors and detail to the one you started. I'd like to see it.
I started to do one which didn't look half bad. It was a red tC. Still, I feel bad comparing mine to the first pic of the 240.
You can basically take a picture of any tC, but the less shadowy it is, the better... meaning, more lines in the paint make it harder to use. You can use the Filter/Stylize/Find Edges filter and then desturate the image completely and apply contrast/brightness as needed. Then you just have to start making new layers, but it's not too bad. Just trace over sections you want to color, and make a new layer of that selection. Then use the paintbucket on the new layer selection and remember to bring the background layer to the top always. This will keep the contour lines at the top... turns out kinda neat.

especially how the rear bumper slides off like that.
This is kinda the same but more cartoonish. I'm still working on TC cartoon for a member from way back ago. Just don't have the time
