Phil Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 What I usually do is try to find a picture of the subject matter in a similar position, and see how that is shaded. I try to use a maximum of 3 colours for shading (the outline colour, the shade colour, and the normal colour), however sometimes a highlight colour (where the light hits the subject most intensely) can be useful, although adding a fourth colour can quickly make the logo very busy.

NJTank Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Yeah all you need is some good shading IM not that great at making logos I only have paint so I cant help you that much, but that logo is a good start so far. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozilla74 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Try to gather as much research/reference materials as you think you may need to work up a concept. That's how I usually start out. I'd search for images of rhinos in different positions and angles. Try combining aspects of these photo/graphic references into your concept. Try to visualize basic shapes and a light source when thinking about shading. This is just one of the ways you can approach it. You'll get there with more practice. That's how I keep progressing. Good start Rheistad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
