The Story

The illustrated piece below was created for my friend Hive account@dfrankle's summer roadtrip sponsored by the Cheesecake Factory. You can read more about their story on Hive account@dfrankle's post here.

The piece is used as cover artwork for the social media outlets for the roadtrip. The creative process for the piece is below.

The Creative Process

Blank canvas with the dominant color/tone laid across the background

Quick sketch of the horizon/terrain

Refining the background imagery

Sketching in the van and the drivers/passengers (David, Jacob, and Tom from left to right)

Refining the sketch of the van/riders, adding in color

Adding final touches all around

Closing Note

Again, you can read more about their story on Hive account@dfrankle's post here.

I hope it was enjoyable to take a look into this process, and I look forward to posting more content on Steemit! Feel free to follow more of my works on my instagram and website.

Best,
Teddy
