The drawing is almost finished but I would like to get some tip on how to make the housing look more plastic.

Hi Thomas,

Maybe a few more highlights on the clock will make it look more like plastic. I hope you don't mind, I downloaded your jpg and touched it up in XaraX. This was done quickly, so I'm sure you can make it look much better than I did.

Hello Thomas

I like your clock very much.

I think you could use some subtle linear fills to increase the glossy quality of the black case.

And if you add a subtle blue to white color to the clear plastic and a white highlight it will look more like clear plastic.

Thanks for your tip, was it something like this you meant ? I think it looks a little bit more plastic now.

Thomas - You had a nice clock and I had a nice desk so one thing led to another until your clock was placed on my desk! (Hope you don't mind my doing that). I think the combined image shows the importance of context - I'm thinking that the desk makes the clock look even better.

Hello Thomas,

Your clock looks great and I hope to see more of your creations!

It is also good to see a fellow Swede in the forums! Perhaps your next drawing could be of a box of "General Snus" [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] That would give me something to drool over!

Hi Ross !

Putting the clock on your desktop certenly made it look better I think. I defenetly don't mind you did that, it's the way for me to learn. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Thanks Risto !

I'am addicted to "snus" as well, let's see what I can come up with.

What's this "General Snus" stuff you write about? I'm interested in anything that can be addicting. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] I also have an interest in Swedish culture (but I don't know much about it) - some of my ancestors were Swedish nobels (DeGeer family).

The "snus" is a old Swedish traditional tobacco product. It is sort of like chewing tobacco but ground finer. You make a "prilla" - I don't know how that translates but it's like a little ball that you place under your lip to suck on.

"General" is a specific blend.

Canadians that have seen snus have described the smell as that of "cat pee" or "pig manure"... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] It is an acquired taste but ooooh so good!
