Toyota Probox Van 2002 Clipart Creation Process

Here I applied a very light and almost transparent gradient to the foreground. This helped the Toyota Probox Van 2002 clipart to be more realistic. (The presence of this gradient is clearly visible in the second vehicle.)

STEP 1.

I continued to apply shadows to the most basic areas of each object until I saw a logical arrangement, something three-dimensional, a sense of 3D reality. It's important to remember that the more logically constructed the clipart is, the more realistic it will be at the end. As a personal preference, I use a soft-edged brush (airbrush) to add some shadows to the torso of the vehicle image.

STEP 2.

Okay, now it's time to work on the details - my favorite part!

I used a solid brush and added as much detail as I could, just using light and dark shades of gray. I also reworked the face of this thug to make it more convincing.

As you can see, the image gained color. I started experimenting with different color schemes. Shades of brown were my first attempt, but eventually I switched to other colors such as green, blue and gray. It all depends on your clip art. I painted the background a medium brown and the Toyota Probox Van 2002 a very unsaturated brown. This also added contrast to the composition.

STEP 3.

I continue to experiment with colors. I added some red to the background and ground, then I noticed that the clipart became too monochromatic, or "reddish." So changed that in the last stage of the work. I also changed the background (to make it more realistic), and added some wheels here and there. You may think these are just small details, but these wheels enhance the overall sense of scale of the scene.

I continued to refine the different areas. I added some dust on the ground, finished the buildings in the background, and added some detail on the Toyota Probox Van 2002, as well as some light on the vehicles. Brightness and contrast are also things to keep in mind when finishing the painting (note the difference in contrast between the Tata Altroz 2020 and this one).

STEP 4.

So, by this stage, the color scheme of the painting has changed toward yellowish green. I like it much better than Ferrari Omologata. With this choice of colors the vehicle stands out even more and the whole atmosphere is more interesting. And with that it was finished and I can now put my signature on the corner!

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and it will help you with your paintings.
