Blessings, colleagues! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Today I'm going to show you my drawing inspired by card R454 WW57x from the game. It's a beautiful microphone with sepia and orange colors that make it look absolutely gorgeous. It has a classic, almost retro design that I tried to imitate in my drawing. But you'll be the judges, because at the end of this post you can tell me if I succeeded or if I managed to capture the color effects of the original card.
Well, I started by drawing what would be the inner frame of the card. I did this in Adobe Illustrator. It's made up of two squares that together form the frame. I rounded the corners to make them look more stylized and to maintain the same design.
After painting the previous part, I moved on to drawing the handle, which is the longest part of the microphone, as you can see. Next, I drew the outline of the speaking area. With that, it's almost finished. Just like in the previous step, I did everything in Adobe.
In the next step, I drew the lower part of the microphone. As you can see, it's smaller compared to the handle and its thickness. This lower part is for connecting the analog cable. I used the original design as a guide. And to complete the sketch, I drew the various internal divisions.
The next step, colleagues, is to paint the sketch with colors. As I've explained before, to paint with the same colors as the original chart, I use the eyedropper tool in Adobe or IbisPaint, depending on which one I'm using for the drawing. Today I used IbisPaint for the drawing itself, not Adobe, which was only used to create the sketch. The eyedropper tool gives me the exact same colors without the hassle of customizing the palette; it's very useful. Here's the painting process.
And to wrap things up for today, colleagues, here's the final result. Let me know what you think. See you in the next drawing.
