Detail Decepticon!
Okay, so the guy (Fitto) has amazing talent and an unreal understanding of light and shape. That being said, I am pondering how he did this (see pic) with regards to the paint itself.
It looks like a pearl base, or candied over metallic because I think I can see some sparkle (but I could be wrong). If it were, am I wrong in thinking he'd only be able to use a transparent black (or maybe dark green) to create the depth? You couldn't use an opaque white and then tint it with candies because you'd lose the pearlesence under the opaque. Do his highlights just seem like highlights because he spared them using the darker color around them? Anyone take his course or know how he achieves this particular style?? it's very intriguing to me.
I know Cross eyed did an orange bike with a similar look. That was for sure candied with black but it seemed to lack the depth this has.
