Once you are finished it can be a good idea to play around with the hue and saturation values, just to check it out. This sketch reacted well to this experimentation.

I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial, just remember to keep practicing!!

I am now ready to call it a day here and move onto a new sketch, this idea has led me to start thinking about the seats for this car. I have just worked here on the surfaces adding a little more depth, as well as some understated branding. I have also cropped the image and faded out parts which are not that relevant. This project is pure fiction of course, produced just for myself.

More work on the wheel, and some detailing around the centre air vents. I am also adding more definition to the surfaces as I go along.

I have added a bit more work around the A-pillars, and around the gear shifter....as well as some more highlighting. I like to let my work evolve, so often go back to areas and redefine them as I go along.

I was getting a little bored of the white dash so decided to give it some colour. Just by using a soft brush on a multiply layer I also put a shadow from the steering wheel onto the dash. This kind of effect can really help you to describe the surfaces well. I have also worked around the air vent area around the pillars, just suggesting a rough shape for the area, again using a cool grey on a screen layer.

Here I have added the Nissan badge and some white airbrushing on the top of the dash. For the badge you can try a multiply or screen layer to help get the effect of the badge really lying on the steering wheel surface.

Here I am still adding details to the steering wheel and preparing it for the Nissan badge which I will use clip art for.

Here I have worked the area where the wheel meets the dash, and worked on the steering wheel switches....picking out some highlights.
