robot sketch

Well just as Matt had stated in one of his posts, creating abstract shapes in Alchemy is a lot like looking at clouds. I looked at his abstract symmetrical drawing and instead of seeing a queen with crazy hair and a fancy dress, I saw some sort of mecha. I TRIED to use illustrator to get the symmetry down at first but I really need to re-teach myself a lot of the techniques. Anyway, once I got the basic structure down (top left) I sketched a little bit over it to see where I could go with this design. I want to do more with this but because it's a robot I feel that crisp precise lines are going to be important and illustrator may be the program to help me here... watch this space!
