Here's my contribution to Bottleneck Gallery's current show, Gadgets & Gizmos. I'm a huge fan of both Blade Runner and Syd Mead so when Bottleneck approached me about contributing to a show about tech from movies, the Spinner instantly came to mind. The show is up at Bottleneck's NYC gallery space as well as online, here: [link]
I'll use guides to pencil but I pretty much always just freehand the inks. I like that all of the linework seems contiguous. I find that when I mix dead weight lines and brush strokes they clash and take the viewer slightly out of the image. That's just for my work though, there are people who can mix the two really naturally.
thanks for sharing this cool illustration
