Sketch: Robot

This image inspired by a cartoon appeared in the local newspaper. I liked how simple drawing the robot was. (I’m always looking for simple-to-draw sketches)

For the first time, I used color (albeit very tiny, still…) The original sketch had light blue hue for the body of the robot, but I decided not to paint the whole sketch. Just the eyes to draw viewer’s attention was enough.

This time also I used multiple layers. Pencil layer at first, then Ink layer.

At this point, I noticed that image is smaller for the entire canvas. So I enlarged the sketch using the lasso+transform tool. I couldn’t have done this on paper. 🤷‍♂️

Then added name+date

Finally color for the eyes. (It was an after thought 😅)

I exported the pencil layer first and then final sketch. I had changed the size between the two steps. I wanted to enlarge the pencil layer as well. But I got an error that locked layer can’t be exported (or something) The layer was not locked 🤷‍♂️. Need to figure it our some day.
