nice, but you should use some gradients to make it look more real!

heres my unfinished one.
im talking about the gradient blend of the colors, instead of just a fill...

ok, so....ummm....uhh....did you just use it like a spray can to say, with white? I'm just starting out with this PS, and trying to get things looking realistic is proving to be difficult. I definetly dig the OP's art. but that gradient makes it.

on some parts i did use it like a "spray can" such as around the fenders where it curves
but the other parts i selected the blank areas and used the gradient tool which u can use if u right click the fill tool
and changed the gradient from blue to white in some parts and black to blue in others...
if u wanna use a brush like a "spray can" just use a big brush and turn the softness all the way down...
