Illustrate your own Mini

Just stumbled across this tutorial today and thought it might be a fun one to share. For those of you with Photoshop or Illustrator, this tutorial goes over how to create an illustration of your Mini by tracing a picture of it.

Excellent.........but why do the headlights look so weird?

I pass a Justa just like this almost every night on my commute home....65 seems to be his speed. Must be more interested in mileage than me....

Freehand in MS paint tends to work better for me.

the lights do look messed up. And they forgot the pillars and roof.

It is a good effort. The lights just need to be done freehand to get the perspective. Using the ellipse tool will never yield good looking headlights. Just a little touch-up and I'd call it good.

You know, that list got started the month after I got my first MINI (an 06MCS)... going back and looking at how much it's grown was a real blast from the past!
