im back! with my first real chop

hey guys ive been away for a while but have recently got my hands on fotoshop and thoght id come back for a looksie!
here it is, pretty crap but im getting there :)

i'll be forgiving as it is your first chop. Firstly, lens flares are a big no no. Your front kit and side as well still have the black areas coloured over in orange. Front and rear wheels could look better if u used a soft brush on "burn" to shadow them. The cf, dear oh dear, umm well, the weave of the pattern is waayy to big, go to free transform and make it waaaayyyy smaller. Other than that its ok, keep at it.

practice makes perfect ;)

Long time no see dude. For a beginner you are doing really well. Just focus on the things Blitz talked about. Spend a bit more time on the individual aspects and you will come out with a more accurate and realistic chop.
