If you’ve got a Windows PC, check out the guide for creating accurate logos. This should help when creating more complex logos like Red Bull which you mentioned. Hope this helps, and any more questions feel free to ask!
I spent more time getting those P and R letters right than everything else combined, just because round parts of them don’t match existing decals’ radius.
I thought it to be a quickie, ended up spending almost an hour (if not more) just on that R.
So I’m basically wondering if there’s a trick to it. Would be really cool to see how experienced painter creates a decal with rather complex curved lines.
No mate, I do mean logos specifically, see the post above.
PS: It looks like I’m on a watchlist or something for some reasons. My posts are getting into pre-moderation before getting posted, so that one above only appeared like 6 hours after I wrote it Guess it’s because I’m new here.
With logos with more complex lines, such as Red Bull for example, I find the best shape to use is the crescent shaped piece which I have (badly) circled below haha. I then will normally use the circle to fill in the outline of the shape. The time aspect of painting is something that improves with time, once you get used to knowing what shapes work where you’ll get quicker!
With regards to the logos themselves, this is an example of the outer shape of the Red Bull logo I created. I changed the colours so that the outline is in white and the filler is in black so it’s easier to distinguish between the two. I am by no means an experienced painter but I hope you find this useful!
Although in all honesty for the Punisher one a half circle probably would’ve done the job. You may have been able to use it for the GTR as well but that might have been trickier if it’s metallic around it.
No worries, the moderation thing will likely change for you - not sure if it’s a set number of posts or combination of post count & forum behaviour. Keep contributing in a positive fashion & you’ll be o.k
Good luck with the painting. I’ve been painting a bit this morning & had forgotten just how time consuming it is lol.
Mind you it’s a tad more complicated than Casper was currently on 1500+ layers most of which are brackets!
Trees gave me a bit of a headache but I got them to look kinda alright. Probably overdid it - hit the layers limit when copying them on the car, had to chop pieces out in the end
Nice work Quadro - the Horse looks good to me & Peppa’s really popping - great colours and spot on image. Works well on the mini.
Glad you made peace with the curves - the livery editor can let you do pretty amazing things. If you end up with more questions - post away and someone will be happy to help I’m sure.
As usual it didn’t quite go as expected. I thought the symbols - crown and whatever those creatures are - would be a challenge but letters should be easy. Turned out to be completely other way around - letters gave me quite a bit of headache.
But I really wanted to do this design - I own Q50 and Corona is my favorite light beer
