I decided to jump on the 2048 Hype as well as to train my own templatefromscratchmaking skills



*Update:*

I have it ingame right now. Added some rivets. And changed the colour.



Still a long way to go.

batbomb, for better results maybe you can use 1px penel for oblique panel lines, avoiding the typical scaling of pencil lines i suggest creating one layer of straight lines and another for oblique ones (so you can trim them more easily) then when all is done merge in one unique panel layer

keep up the good work you brave! 2048 is the (new) way!

S!

A Pencil used for angled lines look really bad in 1024, I can imagine in 2048 they will look far worse,
Just a single pixel pen will do a perfect job

your right. I used a very zoomed in screenshot, therefore it looks so stupid. The whole plane looks very good actually. I will try to get out some decent rivets and cut the shapes out for a masklayer next. Then will come interiour and stuff. Maybe some of our Japanese friends could provide a good cockpit picture or drawing of the J1N1 Instrument Panel?

Looking great! Keep it up!

It still looks like you are using a pencil?

Now that the subject is up, I'll dare to ask.

I don't have pencil to work on skins, all mouse. Question: for what kind of skinwork is the pencil really an advantage? (as I may consider buying one)

Me too, I have just "mouse". More precisely the notebook small mousepad 

Whenever I have to make angled lines I usually make a straight line layer and then rotate it to needed position. Using 1 pixel resolution makes good results for me. If there are any curves involved I can always bend it over distorting the line.

Sorry thats no what I ment by pencil, I mean the angled lines have been drawn with the pencil option in photoshop giving stepped line with no feathered gradiant



unlike using a single pixel brush

pencil is good for uneven stuff like mottled camouflage. This really improved my results in skinning italian planes.

I would reccomend using the 1-pixel wide Brush in some parts, but I work diferently.

Good luck on your fine paintwork.
I will be looking forward to flying your cool skin
