This week on the PS course we worked with layers...

This is my attempt for homework....

What do you think? Any suggestions?



Thanks for looking

Maybe a bit too much feather. All around the roof of the car is like heat sheen. It takes practise like anything else, but it is a good effort.

I think if you do the car in one layer with less feather, and the smoke/dust at the back with another layer with same or more feather, and put the car over the dust. If you see what I mean.
Addendum.. the car shadow doesnt have a roof.

I often use a quite high feathering (say 12 px) when I am trying to blend tricky things like hair, smoke or dust - if you use too small a feathering number, you get halos, but a high number can give a nice smooth blend.

I agree with NT and Toad about the feathering . But its a nice effort , with some more playing youll get it ...

The other thing that i noticed is the driver is on the wrong side of the car , maybe you can fix that too . LOL

Sorry it just looks strange to me

Ha ha. He's on the right side for me. I bet Columbus sailed to the US backwards.

Thanks for the comments all, I had a feeling I overdid the feathering, 25 I think I used. I will have to try again......

Very funny Shawn

These are the two images I used. Any further advice welcome....
