Gardner Douglas are driven by quality, detail, and performance across every car they produce, and this needed to be reflected through their merchandise. They required a photo-realistic illustration of their GD 427 Mk4 that presented the vehicle
in pristine condition as a strong centrepiece, highlighting the craftsmanship behind the brand. -
The illustration began with a traced outline to ensure the car’s proportions were precise, before moving into Photoshop to refine lighting, reflections, and surface detail by hand. Shading was adjusted to shift the car from its original outdoor setting into
a clean, showroom-style environment, with particular attention
to complex areas such as headlights, rims, and paintwork. -
The final illustration captures the GD 427 Mk4 with realistic depth, materials, and fine details, presenting the car in flawless form. Designed for both merchandise and digital use, it holds clarity and impact at any scale, reflecting a precise, craft-focused approach that highlights the quality and performance
of the brand.
