flying flag

[neill]

Just finished a little practise job .My 1st flying flag ,i know its not very symetrical but it was only a practise to show a mate because he wants a the British flag on his rear mudguard .Let me know what you think or any pointers/tips to make it look more professional.Thanks

[neill]

the flag turn out good, I believe that british call their flag " Jack

[neill]

your sort of right it's the Union Jack

Looks good to me Neill, very nice.

Hey Neill don't knock yourself down it looks good i think the only thing it needs is a little bit of a shadow where the material folds.

[heartless]

not bad for a first attempt - a little shadow in the folds and make the stripes curve with the curves of the flag and you will have it.

[neill]

thanks for the tips,didnt think about making the pattern move the same as the flag ,might be a bit tricky ,i'll have to try that next time because otherwise the flag looks a bit stiff

[redneck]

Neill, I did not omit UNION on purpose , fraid I forgot

[ArtWorld]

I would add just a bit of shading on the wall and on the flag. As well as some highlights on the flag. Looks pretty good thoug. Brad.

you'll have to post a picture of it sidney,where you doing it -bonnet,roof or doors

I have to agree with Artworld,... a little shading,... and highlights, not only on the wall, but on the flag itself, will add another demension to it. By adding shadows under your folds,... and highlights over them, it will give the effect of the flag waving more. For the shadows, don't just use balck,... but take either the red or blue, and add a little black to it and over reduce to make it transparant, then mist it on free hand abit at a time until you get the effect that you want.
Looks good so far,... but i think you can tweek it a bit.

Don't forget to highlight the folds as well. Shadow the under side and then highlight the overside.
Looks good so far. Keep going.

Did you manipulate that for him to show what you are talking about. Flippen awesome. Brad.

[Kicks]

Yup,... a few minutes in Photoshop and it can give a much better idea of which way to go, and how it will look when you are done.

[neill]

Kicks, that looks amazing ,who'd of thought that my novice flag can look so profesional ,didnt think of usin photoshop to alter it (mind u ,i dont know how to use that either)but many thanks to all ,i think i'll be practising over the coming weekend

[yardartnut]
