I have been 3 days in which the worst torment of this whole quarantine, has been the electrical failures, are few hours now in which we have light service in my city and has everyone frustrated and sick of everything, but so we have many years ... When the energy arrives, the internet fails and so the problems are interspersed, the little food that people have in their refrigerators can be damaged, the premises for the sale of products of the basic basket can not use the point to make sales because it does not work without light. The problem is not the quarantine, the problem is the country situation that does not allow us to be calm even in the comfort of the home.
After letting off some steam in the previous paragraph (which I really wrote with the anger I feel, so, without thinking, just what came out) I want to show an illustration of another of my favorite youtubers, Nicolas Jarne, who runs the channel "Ride Me Five", this guy is an adventurer who set out to go around the world on a high powered motorcycle, right now he is uploading his route through africa, he uploads too incredible content, better than many netflix series I've seen, plus he has a brutal style as a biker.
I see his content just from the end of 2019, I was inspired to start some new projects in fact, which today are on hold due to the global crisis that we all know.
I wanted to add a little more detail to the illustration, now I plan to do 3 with this style, with backgrounds and textures that look attractive, to fill a little more the variety in the portfolio I'm putting together, maybe this is a factor to attract more people's attention and it wouldn't be bad to try, who knows, maybe I'll get some customers.
To make the background I used the adobe photoshop tool, it's not what I'm used to, normally I do everything using illustrator, but I was investigating and googling for a while and it seems that it's not a bad option to use both things, what I'm really worried about is that they lose quality and finally when I export them they don't look the same as on the work table.
I don't have much more to add, take a reference picture of your instagram and start making the outline, then color and what takes more time: detail and shadows. This time I put a lot more effort in eyes and mouth, I must say that the eyes stayed just as I wanted:
At the bottom of my publications I always specify that for quotes you can contact me in discord, also if you are starting in this of the illustration and have any doubt that you think I can solve you can contact me. I am not a professional in this, I have always said it, I am an amateur in learning process.
¿Which is better ?, left or right?
