And here we go again, this time with some aircraft something something.. and some sci-fi thingy.. with some vague inspiration of Red Alert vehicles and Unreal Tournament, but no references used. I have been practicing that perspective drawing I mentioned before, which is two-point perspective in this case.
I had a lot of fun doing this drawing, and it usually makes the result so much better! And the reason it went so smoothly this time i think, was that i wanted to cultivate that feeling I have when I just grab a simple ink-pen and some printer paper doodling around. Nothing fancy, just experiment with forms using simple lineart. This picture is done digitally though, but I made a "ink-pen brush" and a printer paper pattern as background. The brush is made setting pen pressure to dependent size, transfer set to transparency slightly set by pen pressure, dualbrush with a grainy textured brush, noise enabled and some color noise applied. The background is my "printer paper pattern" which i made by scanning in a simple paper, and made it tileable using the filter/other/offset tool. There will be a more refined version arriving soon, with value and color.
