It's so amazing how inspiration and enthusiasm is arising here on Steem platform when you can do something useful and valuable. This place is the job of my dream, guys. This series of whale character illustrations originally started from small Sticker Pack project and now it consists of almost 50 different illustrations. Which is a big a milestone for us!
Last contribution for @eSteemapp was extremely successful so it almost forced me to continue as soon as possible. Drawing these fellas in my weekend today.
Process
Usually I am drawing such a quick drafted silhouette sketches first, choosing proper variant and starting to do in colors. I redraw all simple shapes with hard round brush again and then lock the layer transparency and draw inside with hard and soft round brushes at 3-5% flow adding details.
Notification Cards
Together with @good-karma we are working on the welcome loading screens for eSteem application now and it will be implemented soon. I am drawing illustrations and creating designs/graphics for @eSteemapp as a part of the team.
Again, this is a work in progress and may be changed a lot in future so if any of your feedback would be appreciated. Let us know what you think, please.
Three more stickers for our eSteem Ocean sticker pack which is available for beta test in Telegram now and will be implemented to eSteem inner chat later.
Tools Used
I've used Adobe Photoshop and done this all on my Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 again if it matters. Actually any PC or Mac with the drawing tablet would be suitable for this.
