This is riffing on Chris Silverman’s work, which you can see here: notes.art
I tried to decide if the probe thingie should be drifting over:
- Mountains
- Trees
- Water
- Urban scenery
I went with my original pick (trees), but I struggled to get the trees looking like they fit the rest of the drawing. I also futzed with the probe a lot. Overall, I think it’s not bad. If I keep doing these, my own style will eventually emerge. Probably with Gum Gum People.
For reference, the brushes I used in Procreate were:
- Artistic Crayon (mainly the probe)
- 6B pencil (mostly for the highlights)
- Dry Ink (fill)
- Technical pen (fill, some outlines)
Bonus! Here’s a second version, with tweaks to the moon and with the starry backdrop greatly simplified. I think the ideal might be a cross between the two, but I’ll probably leave this for now and move onto something else.
