| I would make the pathways smaller and make their color lighter (assuming they are concrete). Currently the path ways are each almost (if not) as big as one lane of the road. |

| I agree with cdsboy and pathways usually aren't the same level as the road, they're a bit thicker. |

 Right i have made the pathways a bit smaller, look more realistic now? and nevermind the colour, I will change that later, just trying to make the proportions right

Originally posted by cdsboy I would make the pathways smaller and make their color lighter (assuming they are concrete). Currently the path ways are each almost (if not) as big as one lane of the road. i agree, but most of the times the paths on the sides of a road are higher than the road itself... so, if you make that the road will more look like a road, also add cracks in the tiles and grass between them for some more realism... (i know its in an early stage for that, but it might be some good inspiration)?------------- http://www.mega.freeforums.org/ < PJ Member Dran's Multimedia and RP Forum |

yup, raise the sidewalk by 2 pixels. Have the yellow line be a darker grey/yellow close to the horizon since you really can't use perspective on it without making a mess of things (not you, just generally).

 Is this more of what you mean? N.B colours are not changed still

great, now its time to change the black outlining on the sidewailks to a very dark grey and add some edge highlighting with a light grey (not too light).
