1966 Volkswagen Karman Ghia Cabriolet

[Ron Duke]

At the risk of upsetting someone, here's the posting of yet another car. This is the one that I mentioned in someone else's previous post that I had been working on.
Anyway, the color, as always, is editable.

And if I ever hear you decry your artistic skills in here again, I'll talk to the moderators, and try to get them to ban you for being a big liar!

Fantastic job on your part, and all of the other cars I've seen around here lately. I don't have time to post something to each fantastic artwork I've seen on here lately, but needless to say, I've been blown away. As with some others around here, I'm jealous of your guys' skills. My work is not yet taking me down the path to learn those skills. But maybe someday...

Thank you, and everyone else for sharing.

Your pictures speak for themselves Ron an absolute delight, your top of the bunch IMHO.

Ronald -- I see lots of joy in this car! Your passion shines through.

I love the tan version but wish I'd never seen that 'other' one! Seriously, it is great to see Xara's named colours feature being put to great use.

regards, Ross

Ron, excellent. As usual. The way you can make the highlights jump out is amazing. Is the town image in the reflections something you added to the car or was it there already? That reflection came out great!

[Ron Duke]

Thanks everyone,

Bob: The reflections are from clipart, which I used the Bitmap tracer to trace so that I could edit them, apply molds and perspectives.

David: Thank you for your kind words, and in the future I will mind my comments. I got your point clearly.

Thanks all again,
ron

I love the reflections you used. If I didn't know it was a drawing, it looks that close to a photograph.

Master not only of the Xara tools, but also of keen observation. Lots of people don't record details like that. But it is not only on the paint but also on the chrome wheel spoke covers.

Wow!

Congrats.
