"Engine" Original drawing

Another day passing by. I'm still here, drawing stuff. Trying to keep myself busy. Finally, finished the drawing that I showed you guys around a week ago. Around a kilo of graphite later, here it is, the engine. It was really fun to do that.
Usually, I try to make a reference with a real object and to put it in the context of the message that I want to send out. But sometimes I just start drawing in the middle of the paper sheet. Just random lines. Started with the grill in the middle, and then extended the whole thing while keeping the radial pattern. The sad part was that I had no space on the canvas to make it fully radial. But that's why we have digital media. I just came back with the scanned drawing, cause my phone camera is... Crappy
Here it is tho

The only things that I took from the real world are the pressure counter, the fan, and the bolts. When I'm creating surreal pieces I try to make the mechanisms and the constructions look like that they can actually do some kind of work. But when you start with random lines, sometimes this is kind of hard... Once again it took me more time to figure out the details than to actually draw and render them. Today I woke up really early, 5 am. My plan was to finish it today... Started drawing with H2 pencil, staring at the paper really hard, drawing again, staring, drawing... Then filled the background in order to make the whole thing pop more. Going to try to add some sort of really soft abstract details on those places... We'll see. After that did the shading and some last minute fixes cause i had to got to the grocery store... That's another story.

I have a new hobby, guys, collecting small, short, cute baby pencils. I have thrown out so many of these, but today I made had an idea, I will collect them, and when I have enough, I will glue them together and frame them. Not sure what this will look like, nor how I will place them. But it will be cool! I promise!

Tools used: H2 to B8 graphite pencil, A4 sheet of printing paper
