So continuing on the last sketch, I decided to colour it on Photoshop. Drawing the base colour and filling it with gradients of lighting and shading is quite fine, but then I realized that with the black lines, it looks grungier than I expected, so I decided to just put gradients on lines directly.
So, 2017 has officially passed.
Honestly, 2017 is a year of huge change and growth for me. There’s the final project I have to complete within the first 5 months for graduation, where I learnt how to complete a huge project on my own in my own pace, while taking care of my body and my mind. Then theres’s the job I found in July, where I worked as a designer for a company. Throughout the year, there are ups and downs. There are things that look good for me, and things that may not seem happy. Still, this year felt like when I have a sudden bone/height growth when I was a child, where I usually have to suffer through aches and fevers, but ultimately I ended up growing up and became stronger each time.
All I can wish for 2018 is a year for me to continue my growth as a better, happier, more independent person who could deal with social life, mental health and career in healthy methods.
Meanwhile, here is the process for the first sketch I drew this year, both for celebrating the New Year and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Transformers Animated.
