Graphic drawing

 

For our main graphic and profile picture on our Instagram, we decided on a very different take to make the graphic/design...

I decided to draw it!

I am a massive art geek and I really got into digital art during COVID (but I prefer 2D), but I did miraculously get good at realism over digital art, and I figured it would be fun and we could really have full creative freedom this way. We decided on a POV shot of male hands, and in the drawing you'll see area's of skin falling off and revealing the mechanics underneath the hands. I used different robotic arm art references to inspire the design of the robot underneath, but to actually draw the hands, I used myself for reference! (It's SO easy to use your own hands as a guideline) 

Here's what I've done so far!

I've only drawn the rough sketch and a rough tracing outline and shading of it, but in the end my goal is to have zero contour lines throughout the artwork and a full range of shading as well! I'm super excited to see how this comes out, and I really think it makes it personal to me, as I often draw things out rather than trying to design things online. 

 

Overall I think mapping it out this way really lets us set a tone for how our social media page will be looking as I can personalize all the colors however I'd like to and see which schemes will work together aesthetically and which wont.

P.S.!!!

Check out this little animation I drew out for our CBTV class! Daniela edited it ofc :) (It's an i2i)

Animation is SO hard... and it's literally in like 6fps and VERY easy drawings, I really cannot imagine how long animation on movies like Luca take.. it deserves so much more attention and credit.
