My first try at digital art!

I've always been interested in art. I sketch certain things when I get a chance. But before I continue I must say I am an amateur! I recently downloaded a sketchbook app on my macbook. I thought I'd try converting one of my sketches into digital art. The art I picked was a sketch I had done of jaguar E-type. So this is how much I've progressed:

My initial sketch
The outline created using sketchbook app
After addition of colour
I'll still keep working on it. I created the final picture by using many layers. I used different layers to lay down my initial sketch, the outline, the base colour, the aluminium work(Grey), the reflections. By merging all the layers, I got the final image. I was pretty pleased with the result since it was my first time.

You can also use paint.net, pinta or adobe photoshop to create your own artwork. Hope you guys give it a shot. Happy drawing!

    1. Yes, I used layers for the reflections. I still have to create the reflections on the bonnet. Just haven't gotten around to do so.
