For this session of #funart with me, I designed a Steemit inspired hangout place for Nico. For those who don't know Nico, you can find him in 
I've been thinking of ways on how do I materialized the brand or Steemit logo in a way that is creative and feasible. Does it have to be something extravagant? Or could it be just a simple hangout place like this one that I sketch.
The idea of Nico's hangout place came to me when I realize that the shape of the new Steemit's logo has a potential to be turned into a house-like design. It turned to be a cute and modern looking miniature house when visualized in a proportion that will fit to Nico.
Without any doubt, I began the initial sketch and eventually continued into a realistic looking mini house. Let me show you the progress of my sketches and coloring:
As seen on the progress of my work, I started drawing the rough sketch of Nico, house, & lawn. And then I colorize the oulines and the pattern on the surface using the markers from Copic Ciao. If you are interested with color codes that I used, here is the list:
- Black: 100
- Dark Green: G94
- Light Green: YG23
- Wood: E08
- Peach: E93
- Light Blue: B02
- Dark Blue: BG09
It's my second time use these markers and I'm already getting comfortable at it. I like the colors in particular and also the brush tip pen that made it easy for me to apply the colors and outline of the shapes.
I hope you enjoyed this session of Fun art with me and if you are interested to see my previous work, you may check it out here: Fun art 01.
