Drawgust 2024 #3: Road Trip

A black and white illustration of a cartoon car flying over a road. The road is curved over the words "road trip" like a ribbon and ends abruptly at the bottom of the image. The other side of it curves to the left behind the words. Behind the car is a large setting sun with two small clouds in front, and to the right is a mountain range and some trees poking out. The mountains have a "destination" marker, typically of those seen in map apps, in front. There is a small arrow, reminiscent of those on road signs, that peeks out from below the road, goes behind the word "trip", and then curves down and back to the left, ending in an arrow point.

Here's a third illustration for Drawgust, inspired by a little impromptu road trip we took today.

Thankfully the medicine I took yesterday helped (and I don't think I caught anything serious anyway) so I was feeling pretty good this morning, and we decided to take to the road and scope out a spot my wife wants to visit with her friends later this year.

It was a lot of driving for one day, but we had a good time, escaped some of the local heat for the day, and I got some inspiration for a drawing. I don't think I'm going to be doing lettering for all of these, but it's been fun to use words in these, since that's not something I do a lot.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, and the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light for shading. Those brushes are from the Rusty Nib pack from True Grit Texture Supply.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
