Colleagues, I hope you're having a blessed day. It's great to be back here. Well, today I've done a new drawing, dedicated as always to one of the cards from the game. For today, I chose card i144 Folding Keys. This is a very special piano from the game, I think even unique because I haven't seen one like it on any of the other cards. It stands out above all because it can be folded. I don't know if this piano exists in real life, but I think its concept or idea is very revolutionary.
A normal piano is quite long, and because of this, it's difficult to transport to different places, like concerts or rehearsals. So, being able to fold it and carry it in a small suitcase must be a huge advantage. It takes up much less space. It's a great idea. Of course, this can't be done with grand pianos for obvious reasons; they have an internal soundboard and can't be folded because they are massive and large. The one on the card is electronic, which allows it to be folded without any problems.
I imagine you're all eager to see the process of how I made the drawing, and I don't want to keep you waiting, so let's get started right away. Okay, first I made the card's frame. It's the large, rectangular piece you'll see below.
Once I finished the previous step, I moved on to drawing the body of the piano, or what's called a silhouette in drawing. First, I drew one of the piano's parts, the left one, and then the second. They're both long rectangles. If you look closely, I drew a kind of hinge to join them, just like in the original card. In the real world, that hinge is what would allow the piano to fold. This reminds me of Samsung phones that fold. Lmao. They're similar in concept.
After finishing that, I moved on to adding the details of the piano. This is where I added the keys and several aesthetic lines to give it a nicer effect.
The painting process was a lot of fun. As you'll see below, I started by painting the frame, then both interior backgrounds, and finally the piano. I used purple around the piano, taking inspiration from the original card. I also used pure color effects and spray paint. It was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy watching it.
To finish up, folks, I've painted the final details. Here I painted the piano buttons and the card's aesthetic details, like its name and the game's title. And that's how it turned out. See you in the next drawing.
