I send you blessings wherever you are. Good morning, everyone! New drawing and a new day! Today I'm going to show you a new preamp I've painted, using one of the spectacular cards from the game as an example. It's the R655 RS2A. As you can see, it's a rare one. I love the artistic background of this card with another preamp in a music studio; it looks very elegant. In this post, you'll see the step-by-step process of how I painted it and created it from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, which is the main tool I use for designing my drawings. As I always say, it's more fun to see the process than the final result.
That's why I'm going to show you the step-by-step process. To begin, I started the drawing by creating what would be the card's frame, but only the inner part. As you may remember, for some time now I've only been drawing the inside of the card and its respective instrument or person. Well, that frame turned out like this:
The frame was just the first step of many to come. After finishing it, I drew a slanted rectangle inside. That will be the main body of the preamp. I then added some internal lines inside the rectangle and a second rectangle outside with more slanted lines. I did this to create a 3D effect and give the impression that the top part is actually the back. It's a trick to make the drawings not look so 2D.
Well, that was the sketch, and with those previous touches, it was finished. Now we can continue with the next step, which is the painting, the most fun and entertaining part of the whole drawing process. The background was the first thing I painted. I used gray because it was the most predominant color in the original card drawing. For the frame, I used orange. The inner background was the third thing I painted. As is usual with rare cards, it was blue in various shades in the different areas that make it up. Finally, I painted the preamp; the color is two-tone gray. After painting it, I added details like the buttons, the device brand, the screen, and several other details. See how it turned out.
And to finish, here's the completed drawing, with the game and card names added. What did you think? See you in the next drawing. Blessings to all.
