Images help, but just for visuals. The wire frame is essential when shading. when do a shading layer use ONLY black, and make individual layers for different parts of the car, the you can adjust the color/shading depth on each layer to your liking. after all your shading is done, all the same aforementioned steps are done ONLY using white for a highlight layer. FYI you can use the Gaussian blur tool for lot of fading. Hope I'm helping in some kind of way, doing a template is enjoyable (but painstaking). If you look under the DMRNXS16 MOD I have 246 layers in that chassis! but to this day every bit of it was fun.
