How I discovered the contest?

So yesterday when I was scrolling on my feed, I saw this contest re blogged by my friend, I got interested. And since I used to join art related contest here in steemit, why not give it try. So I immediately went to oren730@oren730 's profile (post) to look for guidelines on how I am supposed to Illustrate the Avatar.

Task Given

So oren730@oren730 is planning to change his nickname from oren730@oren730 to cryptodad@cryptodad. I think he is a active in creating blogs about crypto thingy. So that already give an idea how am I suppose to Illustrate my entry. He also gave some references that may gave us idea. One of it is like a Superhero type Avatar, and it should have a touch of bitcoin, etc too theme.

Ispiration

But one thing that caught my attention or attract and inspired me create this Avatar is, he mentioned that he is a divorced and a single parent to his 3 year old Son. I know it's not that easy to be a single parent, and i salute Sir oren730@oren730 for doing a great job for being a good father to his Son. And what I want to achieve in creating the avatar is it will be a father and son theme inspired. That it will show great affection and love, and will also symbolize a good relationship between a Dad and son. So Instead of Illustrating one character(cryptodad), I've included his son riding on his back, and two of them pointing with one direction. It signifies that no matter happens together they will overcome any challenges and obstacles, as long as they have each other.

I am somehow missed my Dad, while illustrating this. hehe. So here it is,

"Crypto Dad"

So here's the process

First I've started from a drawing, for it is easier to illustrate on a paper first.

And after making a sketch, time to import and make a digital version of it.

The software I've used here is Adobe Illustrator CC

And what I always do, I start tracing the outline using pentool

The next thing I did is I fix some lines that needs to be fixed, like for this example:

Then I've added a big circle for the background

Then after I'm done with my outline, I've started adding color to my work
(I've used shade of orange, since the logo color of bitcoin is in the shade of orange, for it the have the crypto feeels)
