Nice, but do they use one solid same piece of wood to make everything? Shouldnt the doors have a different grain then the rest?

I liked the outline, but the colored version looks like a photoshop brush.

Still, it looks nice.

Oh, and isn't the perspective alittlebit wrong? The top seems to be made so that you can see the back of the curvey thingys, yet the rest of it (front panels) seem to be perfectly infront of you.

Correct me if I'm wrong though, idk much about much.

No, the main cabinet piece is just thinner than the top & bottom.

He means the isometric aspect of it. Which looks wrong to me.

Nice!.. but you should try to use a more natural grain and you took so much trouble to do a nice outline... pixelating a wood grain would be nicer (but hey long live lazy ness)

Thanks everybody.

No, it's not a photoshop texture, I painted the wood on there like that. I am sorry if you don't like the pattern.

Personally I like the perspective, and I think it looks cool.

You painted it on there with a photoshop brush. Either way it's not pixelated and it looks bad. There's 132 different shades of brown there. Totally not needed. Apparently you just made the awful wood texture seperately, and then layed the outline over the texture and erased the stuff around the outline. The wood shouldn't be one solid piece. Each area of the armoire should be seperate wood, and the grain should not flow from one piece to another.

I don't like laziness in artwork. That's terrible. You're supposed to show your abilities in every piece of art you do, not show how badly you can slap together an image.

Also, no matter how much you like the perspective, it's totally not Graal perspective in any way shape or form.

Yes, I used the paintbrush, in photoshop, as opposed to the pencil, which I then used to shade it. For your information, I didn't make the "awful" wood texture seperately, I drew it onto the armoire around the lineart. Personally, I don't see why the grain could not be matching throughout the armoire, considering it's all the same type of wood, but to please you I changed the flow of the grain, and I reduced the wood color variations. I am not lazy, you ass, if I was lazy I wouldn't have bothered to post this here, or make it at all, considering it was originally just an example to show someone how to give depth to one of their images.

Is this better? Ass.


Edit: Rid of black outlines.
