I really wanted to get back to basics with today's Drawrch illustration - the last few have been too detailed and taken way too long for me to finish on time. So today, I focused on getting basic shapes from the reference into the illustration, eschewing realism and just getting the elements in there.
The result is maybe a little flat for my taste at this point, but I like that I was able to get the essence of the reference in there. Looking back at it now, I'd probably make the mouse a little less wide. Otherwise, I think overall it's pretty much what I set out to make. And I got it done super early, which is a massive win right now. 😎
This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Soft air brush for background shading, and the Inka brush for linework and everything else. The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is from SketchDaily.
