Many blessings, colleagues. I hope you're enjoying a beautiful morning, and of course, with a coffee in hand, as always. Who can live without it? Haha. Well, here I am again, wanting to show you what I've done today on my blog. It's a drawing inspired by one of the beautiful and incredible cards from the game: the R556 Limey Mic. Just look at how beautiful its background is! It's an abstract design with colorful silhouettes and a yellow background. I find it almost hypnotic. I think this microphone, which the card represents, would be perfect for psychedelic music; perhaps it was even made for that, hence the design.
You already saw a preview of the finished drawing on the cover, but now I want to show you how I did it step by step. That way, you can appreciate the whole process, which is more fun to watch than just seeing something finished. I started by making the frame in Adobe Illustrator. This serves as the canvas since I'll paint everything else inside its border, and I'll also add color outside of it. I almost always choose that color depending on which one is the most predominant in the chart I'm using as a guide.
After finishing the previous steps, I made the microphone handle and then the top part. In this case, I also did both of these in Adobe Illustrator, as with the frame. Now I'm only using IbisPaint for the painting.
In the details section, I've only added the grilles through which the microphone picks up the voice, and several of the internal divisions. And with those things, the sketch is ready for painting.
To paint, I used the brush tool in IbisPaint, and to pick the colors, the eyedropper tool. This way, I can use the same colors. The microphone has a nice lemon-yellow color. As for the background, I chose yellow since it's the most predominant color, and for the inner background, I used various shades of blue, as always. See the process.
And to wrap things up for today, here's the finished result. Blessings to everyone, and see you in the next one. Drink your coffee before it gets cold. Lmao.
