My illustration for recent eSteem Android Release

Hey! We had been tweaking @esteemapp UI for days with its Founder and Lead Developer @good-karma! Small and even tiny pixels here and there. Ten times we've hanged colors for different elements, tweaking and rewriting css styles and revetring back when something had been broken again and again. So here comes new repolished eSteem which we hope you would like. And this is only beginning for interface redesign. If you have any suggestions and constructive critique please let us know. We really want to create best user experience for all of us.

So eSteem 1.6 for Android just been released and I've created this illustration for the announcement in @good-karma blog. By the way, don't forget to check out the new tweaked night mode (dark theme) in Settings.

If you don't know what's @eSteemapp is give it a try. This is fully functional Steem mobile client with notifications, post scheduling, drafts, favorites and bookmarks and many more useful functions.

Process

I had another Android character drawn for 1.5 release. Took it as an inspiration for the next one. Made this simple silouette shapes with hard round brush: eyes, eyebrows, eylids, horns, head, body, hands etc are on separate layers. Then I've locked the transparency of each layer and quickly added the lights, shadows and few details with soft round brush and 3% flow.

Everything was done in Adobe Photoshop as usual on my Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 tablet PC. Drawn right on the screen with Microsoft Surface Pen. Microsoft, you should pay me for this advert!

How do you like eSteem? Maybe you had tried it in past and removed? Give it another try. Lot's of bugs being fixed and a lot of user interface tweaks hopefully will change your experience.
