Something in the air
I made some quick drawings of ideas for STEEMpunk drones today. This particular project is inspired by the idea of the 'Follower' nano drones in the Hardfork Series, and I will be exploring these concepts further at my SteemFest art workshop.
“Follower” is a micro or nano-drone dispatched to follow target
CFS: Exposing the OverWatchers
I was able to produce this drawing quickly by using a combination of pencil rubbing (frottage) and pencil drawing.
STEEMpunk drone: Model number CFS-1a
I'll try not to drone on about the process and keep this quick! I took a selection of cogs and arranged them on my board, I then placed the paper over the top and made a pencil rubbing of the cogs. Next, I removed the cogs from beneath the paper and drew in the shape of my drone. I used an eraser to take away the excess pencil marks and to add lighter tones, and I sharpened up the definition of the cogs using a sharp pencil and added darker shadows using 2b and 6b pencils. The final touch was to use an eraser to add the beam of light coming out of the front of the drone.
Keep your eyes peeled, you never know when the CFS are watching you!
