How was this done?

I found this pic online and thought it looked really different and cool. I was hoping one of you experts would be able to fill us all in on the process of turning a regular photo into this, using photoshop. Thanks guys

That looks more like Illustrator, or a vector program that uses shapes instead of pixels. Someone did a good job, a good or bad vector pieces really is all in the detail. If you were to do that in photoshop one of the easier ways is basically do it like you would in Illustrator using the pen tool to make those custom shapes or blocks of color. For example the bumper and bumper surrounds.

I'm not exampling it in a simple way really look up some tutorials or methods on making "vector" images from photos. I love vectors.

I am going to agree.

It would take a lot of time, but I would use pen tool to create all the shapes. I would try to keep similar colors on a single layer so you could just fill a certain layer, otherwise that looks like hundreds of layers.

All in all, not hard, just time consuming.

LEarn to use pen tool, my hands down fav tool in photochop. :)

i made that picture. it was done in photoshop like you thought. all you do is select the section you want, then 'fill' it with a color, and then use 'stroke' to make the outline. takes some time but the outcome is great. heres two more i did:



i have the full res of this one too.

Curtis' M20-2002 is incredible. He has turbo flares on it now with wider wheels.

Ohhh... finally read that. Haha, thats sooo cheating =x
I am going to try to do a good job of the 2002, and another more recent pictire i got from the owner over AIM of it too... dunno if im going to do it the cheapy way or not though ;) If I do it all with vectors it'd look more badass but would take a longass time to do :/ hmm not tonite...
