VALENTINO ROSSI - Final + Process (Patreon)

Hi again gamers and lovers of gaming...and...everyone else..

Here is a high quality, epic version of my just-posted Valentino Rossi drawing. I watched one single video about him on youtube and then drew this because the bike was cool and that's ALL I know about anything motogp related so we CANNOT bond about it!!!!

But I did take quite a bit of process photos while I drew this so lets look at them.

I wanted this to be super abstract but as you can tell, that did not really happen (in terms of shapes). But this is the sketch.

 Pretty cool pretty much how I ended up inking it in the end! But after this I DOUSE it in fluorescent green posca marker.

 Then, I look at the fact that I have a giant white posca now, and that possesses me to make the background white once more... Return it to its original state

 Then, I decide that this green background will act as the yellow of my reference image, and thus I continue to color all other livery with detail-tip poscas

 This stage was SUPER ugly but never give up!!! Then once I had all the color like so...I begin to ink on top.

 I sorta like this semi-unfinished stage... anyways! That's that really. I kept the shadows super solid black while also balancing being able to see the shapes underneath and around it. the middle section of the bike.? The hump??? Where the gas go??? I darkened a lot of that with hatchy marks to make the driver pop and differentiate those objects.

 THATS THAT!!!! Have a gr8 day
