"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 and shades were given.


How did I forget to draw the dog belts. After expanding the drawings, it was hard to fix and draw belt on them. Probably when I will become a pro, I might do it better and in an easier way. But this was what I did.


Then I was done with the artwork and uploaded it to my pages. However, for my DexLearningSkillz Insta page, I changed the background a bit. Took away the box of colour and added a simple background with a park bench. 
I was not sure which one should I upload so I uploaded them both.

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...

Learning Illustration: 5 : Envelope Distort

I was supposed to write this on 14th June. These past two days I didn't get time to do anything nor to write this. I found a Logo contest from IGG very late and the deadline was on the 16th. I made 4 logos and 3 slogans in different formats in the two days. Was such hectic. I'll write about that in the next blog. For now, I shall write what I learned in the last class of  Envato+ on the 12th and 13th of June. It was all about Envelope Distort which can be found on the left side of the Illustrator in the toolboxes. First on texts and then on objects. These tools are so unique and interesting. The first was being Liquify. I mean warp which can be used to give the effects of liquify.                             You drag the text downward in a manner how a liquid would behave.  Cool Ehh? The next tool was Twirl. Man, this is a live drilling machine of Illustrator. As you hold the effect, it keeps spinning and a...
