sketch

Adobe Illustrator - Day 17

So here is the final implementation of the sketch from yesterday. I am very relieved that this exercise did actually take less time as I expected in the beginning of the progress. I had much fun creating the shapes for this plane since there was no struggling with surprising problems this time. First I wanted to add more details like hatches, tiny sensors, rivets, lights and so on, but then I decided to keep it simple. In my opinion, more details would already have destroyed the abstract look of the aircraft, but without improving the aesthetic.

Adobe Illustrator - Day 16

As I already admitted, illustrations of people or creatures were never my strong point, so now I wanted to implement something I feel more comfortable with. I took another sheet of paper, and started to sketch abstract Learjets from different angles. When I finally found a good perspective, I drew the plane again, but this time with more details. I am not sure yet, but I think that it will not be a big deal to recreate this sketch in Illustrator. - At least I hope so.
