Greetings colleagues, I wish you all many blessings. Today I was drawing the i158 TP 440 card and I'd love to share the process with you. This card, as you can see, belongs to the common cards section, specifically the musical instruments category. The TP 440 is a microphone that stands out for its elongated shape. As you can see on the card, it's much longer than most.
I think that characteristic gives it a very retro look. I really like its design. Well, to begin drawing it, I started by creating the card's frame. This frame, as on other occasions, has a rectangular shape with curved corners. I tried to imitate the design of the original card I'm painting.
At the bottom of the frame, I made a notch or indentation. I think you can already imagine what that area is for. Well, it's to add the card's category at the end of the drawing, which, as I said, is common.
With the frame ready, I moved on to making the microphone. First, I made the handle, that is, the part the singer holds or where it's mounted on a tripod. After the handle, I made the speaker. Although at this point it's just the outline, you'll see the difference in the next step.
The next step was to add details to make it more realistic and attractive. In this step, I created the sound inlets where the singer's voice or the instrument's sound enters. I also drew the different divisions to clearly show which part is the handle and which is the speaking area. With that, the sketch was complete.
With the sketch finished, I moved on to painting the entire drawing. I used digital colors and some digital spray paint. The digital colors were for the card's frame and its background. I also used them to paint the microphone. I used the spray paint for the outlines near the microphone. Here's a look.
Colleagues, all that's left is for you to see the final step before we're done. With everything painted so far, only the final aesthetic details were missing. Here I added the card name, the game name, and the card category. And with that, colleagues, the drawing is finished. I hope you liked it. See you later, blessings.
