Hey everyone, I'm back with my new drawing, but not before wishing you a blessed day. Today's drawing was inspired by the R265 Battle Mic card. As the name suggests, it's a battle microphone. Now, you might be wondering if it's for singing in a real war, but no, lmao. It's not for literal battles like we all imagine. If you look at the card's artwork, you'll see graffiti on a brick wall and a somewhat street aesthetic. That's because it's rap art.
So, the microphone is for musical battles between rappers. You know, those typical rap battles where each artist tries to outdo the other with improvised lines. There are many examples of these kinds of musical battles online. The microphone itself has a metallic, military-colored design, perhaps to play on the name. It has a long, thin shape. I tried to capture both of those shapes in my drawing. You can tell me later if I managed to pull it off.
Now let's begin so I can show you how I made the drawing. I started by creating a digital canvas to create the inner frame of the card. Inside that, I'll then paint everything else.
After finishing the frame, I made part of the microphone handle and then the top part where the singer's voice is picked up. As you can see, I managed to create the microphone's distinctive shape, which is long and thin.
The next thing I drew were the microphone's internal divisions. That is, I drew lines so that each part would be clearer and give it more volume, preventing it from looking so flat. These lines will also help guide me later when I'm painting.
The time has come for painting, friends. I'm going to show you step by step how I painted the sketch I just finished drawing.
As you can see, I used similar colors to create the painting. I'm pleased with the result. Now we move on to the final step, where I'll show you the finished drawing. See you in the next one, blessings to all.
