Architecture Sketches

Work-in-progress: I recently regained a selection of Adobe Photoshop brush tools created by Scott Robertson and rendered some simple architectural settings by using the airbrush and color dodge tool only (Wacom Cintiq Companion)

Chevy Tubemaro

Work-in-progress: I'm re-detailing a 72' Chevy Camaro Z28 by using one repetitive shape - just for fun! I'm using a Wacom Cintiq Companion with Adobe Photoshop
