Portrait in the Studebaker

[DanOstergren]

Messing around after hot-boxing this old Studebaker. Before I started taking pictures my friend says "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls"...

Before/after:

And one more on the side of my house.

Is that how you draw French girls?

WELL, it does start off with a hairy armpit, so...very French right from the get-go...

My grandpa had a Studebaker he fixed up once. Of course, it was only "fixed" in the aspect that it ran, but still lol.

I like the last one the best, heh.

You wouldn't say that if it was a female...

We have 5 of them.

Depends on the female.

See #2 above.

More dude.

I don't care if he's in a Studebaker, by a taller stack of tires, or putting tires on the Studebaker.

MOAR DUDE.

I keep coming back to look at these (not only because the dude is HAWT), but because I love your processing on these.

Since you posted a Before/After, can I ask how you did this? Or is it top secret?

Agreed! And besides, it's not a portrait of a car, it's a portrait of a dude. Also his name is Corey; we've been good friends for 9 years now.


As far as editing goes, I used a curves adjustment layer for contrast and some tonal adjustments, a selective color adjustment layer to mess with each of the color channels, and a hue/saturation adjustment layer to tone down the color vibrancy.

Here's the other before/after:

 

[e.rose]

a selective color adjustment layer to mess with each of the color channels,

Holy ****, you just changed my entire f**king world.

Can I ask you another question concerning the selective color adjustment layer (not about your image specifically... just about that adjustment layer in general.)

Certainly!
