step 4 of 14

I decided that I wanted flared wheel wells on the back so again I selected this with the pen tool. I know some of you are scared of the pen tool. Don't be. It's SO helpful for doing smooth curves.

step 5 of 14

Rear wheel and wheel well were added. Transform was used to slightly change the perspective of the tire. The rotation transform(as seen in the pic) was returned to thr original.

step 6 of 14

I wanted this truck to look faster than a box truck, so I removed the top to change the bottom into a pickup.

step 7 of 14

Here I made a rounded structure to the top of the bed like I've seen in older trucks. I drew a selection area with the pen tool, then picked colors with the dropper from the front of my source pic. I then used a soft brush tool with various sizes and used the shift key for nice straight lines.

Finished extending the wall and the door at the rear. The door half-sign was duplicated and flipped to make a complete one.

step 12 of 14

Started to play with the right light source here. I wanted the truck to be lit primarily from the left. This also made it easier to mute the sun spots on the fenders.

step 13 of 14

Darkening the back of the room & more of the floor.

step 14 of 14

I know some people will feel that there are earlier steps where the truck looks better than the final, which is true, but the light sources on the interior side fenders didn't go well with the inside of a garage
