The life of a digital artist

"The life of a digital artist" - It was a project I was working on the night before the last blog. Fell asleep that night while working on it. The next day I clearly couldn't work on it at all, because, reasons. I wrote about it in the last blog.

I wanted to draw this one for a few days then. I wanted to have this illustration that conveys the diligence of a digital artist, any freelancer to be honest. Well, it could speak for any workaholics from any industry. My brother is a banker and works on codings and creates apps. He is quite like that as well. No more beating around the bushes. The drawing was this:

I won't make this blog longer. So I will just upload the next steps I had taken.

And for the adding details.

I even coloured the whole artwork and then noticed the head didn't tilt enough to make it for a person who fell asleep. I had to redraw the neck and the hands to give him a more tilted headed look. Ii finished the work before the night. Rest of the works were quite smooth and fast.

The final drawing is uploaded here:

The final product.

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...

Deviantart and Instagram for Digital art?

Learning skills feel better when shared. When you draw your first piece of illustration, the excitement and satisfaction are out of the world. But when you are the only one staring at the art you made, another pair of eyes can be so rewarding. There are plenty of websites to share digital art. But I picked Deviantart and Instagram. Deviantart is such an amazing website that holds artists from all around the world of different level of expertise. The community is nice. People share their arts and they support each other with feedback. Then Instagram is no stranger to anyone I believe. Instagram is an American photo and video sharing social networking service created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. In April 2012.... Okay okay, no copy-pasted long description haha. So, my idea is to post one good drawing of mine produced in illustrator, colour calibrated and signed in photoshopped. Like this drawing of mine. This image is posted in my Deviantart (DexLearning...
