A fantastic fantasy that occurred in my dream.

It was kind of like Dota 2. But a little less fun and scarier. Misty foggy atmosphere sheltering a wild beast. One whose eyes can be seen through the clouds. The dream was so messy yet perfectly alluring.

When I woke up, I remembered a tad bits of it. But the environment and the beast stuck in my head. I was having my coffee and only thinking about the possible ways to capture my dream through illustration.

Perfect. That'd be a great way to increase my skill and to preserve a memory. Killing two birds with a stone. Started working on it passionately.

The blurs were kind of making my laptop laggy. It was getting somewhere. I was kind of happy with it.

Next, I wanted to add a tree. It would be a cinematic angle. Only a part of the tree would be visible.

I want to add an archer lady. Better if she is in action. Probably flying (jumping high) while bowing. I had to create the warrior twice. I didn't like the first one and had to redo it.

Adding the knife:

Now for the beast. I drew this not a nicely visible frame of the beast. But it looks dull, so I tried changing the beast and tried to give it a proper shape.

What am I thinking? I can't change the beast! That's one of the core gems of the dream. The eyes through the clouds still gave me thrill.

Redraw the beast for the third time.

Man oh man!! I was loving it.

I drew the beast completely and added texture to the moon and finished the tree and lightings and everything. The final product came out such this:

Since I completed my drawing, I could finally be in peace.

When I started illustrating it, was morning.

As I uploaded this to my deviantart, behance, dribble and Instagram, It was night. I was going to sleep.

Let's see if the dream continues from there or I encounter any other magical dream that is worth illustrating down. Time would tell.

Learning Illustration: 4 : Colour Swatches and Gradient ( Adobe Illustrator )

Writing this down before I hit the bed. Just watched a movie with Winnie, "The Croods". I had already seen the movie years ago. But I wanted her to watch it. Anyway, I am getting off-topic, This would be a short and fast catch up on the illustration class as it's getting late. So much to do, so much to learn, so little time. In the class by EnvatoTuts+ , Mr Dan taught us things about colour swatches. It was all about colours. The usage of colour swatches for faster colouring. Adding customised colours to the swatches. And the most interesting one was the colour theme which uses the adobe cloud and shows a variety of colour combinations for a vibrant and eye-catching result. The community's most picked and voted colour combinations and adding them to the colour swatches can bring life to a dull illustration. And for people who don't like adobe clouds, we were given websites where we can pick other good colour combinations as well. And we were asked to fill colou...

Making Cartoon Aeroplanes for a game in Playstore

My brother is seriously a workaholic. Sometimes I worry about him for his disregard for foods while working. Whenever he takes a leave or have a holiday, he sits in front of the laptop, starts working on codings for rest of the day. He makes apps for android devices. I must say, I found the apps quite good for someone who's only experienced for a year. I am proud of him. I love the passion for learning. It helps us grow. Anyway, so my bro has made this game. The game is in the alpha stage. Although it's already in the Playstore (click to check) , he is changing a whole lot of the game. That includes the core design of the models. It's a fun casual a-good-time-killing game that involves a mini plane that flies on an endless loop. The player has to dodge the obstructions as they fly and collect points. My bro Sour knows that I am learning to draw and create vector models. He gave me a project on making the model of the aeroplane, but with 5 diff colours. Red, Blue, Green...

"A Hello" - illustration by Dex

Remember what I said in the last blog? The flag with the text created in the last class, that gave me an idea for my next illustration. So I started with a similar box of colours to create the art I was visioning. My idea was to wrap the boxes and clone them and place each other upside down to make a 'perspective view'. And then draw a girl and a guy sitting inside the box minding their own business while their pets being social. Might be the start of a Hello. This was the sketching process. Of course not the initial concept sketch. That one is way too gibberish to understand. After colouring, it would look better I promise. After colouring and shading, the task was to create their pets. A furry dog for the lady and a brown bigger doggo for the guy. The concept was kind of like this. Now, to bring them to lively dogs, colour...
