The Ice Cream Rave Van...January Blues so needed a dose of Neon cheer this week.

And I like the price of a cone or a lolly … gosh, those were times …  ;)

Cool. Love this sort of illustration and this one is sumpremely good. I am assuming that this was all done with the help of the iso grid? For the rectangles with the rounded corners, did you draw them flat/straight and then skew them to the iso view or did you add the rounded corners after you'd already drawn it on the grid?

 

After Matt said about the mushroom, I couldna find it. But on second looking, there it is (that'll teach me for not reading the whole post!)

 

Excellent stuff,

I drew it all on grid, rather than skew anything. just use the snap to guides then as you say use the corner tool to round it all up. Takes a bit of messing to get them all looking balanced as corner angles are different on opposing sides.

 

Edit: I'm pretty hooked on isometric everything at the moment, have a robot to do next, I could literally sit doing it all day. I love it (desperately putting off a brochure and a batch of boring flyers I'm supposed to be making for a client).

Awesome!

 

Looking forward to the robot!

Yeah isometric illustration is booming. I had to look twice as well for that mushroom, but mainly because I don't know what a bonnet is aha :D

[David]

Awesome!

 

Looking forward to the robot!

 

Don't encourage me, Ive done no work as it is today  :P

Hello,

 

@david

Very nice, thank you for showing!

[retrograde]

Another awesome piece David!

 

...the rabbit hole of "isometric-ism" is long and deep my friend, long and deep... :D

How did you get paper look? I usually use noise in Illustrator, but AD doesn't have that. Using a brush seems bit too freehandy.

AD does have noise, but it's rather "well" hidden! Go to the Colour panel and click on the colour well next to the Opacity slider.

It's hidden alright! Haha... but once discovered, this works way easier than AI's noise layer effect. Thank you.

Its very cool, have fun with it :) not sure why its not in the effects panel though?

Im refusing to finish any new artwork until my new Wacom arrives. Ive literally been like a kid before Christmas day all this month.

Which one are you getting? :)

[MattP]

Lol!

I'm fine with it! :) 

 

 

Oh... I see what you mean now, sorry... ;)

[kareldries]

Hey David, very nice work! I like the concept of a raving Icecream van and the color scheme matches the ice cream theme nicely ;)

[David]

Which one are you getting? :)

 

Well, Ive been saving ages for and I've googled & youtube researched the hell out of it, I was tempted with the cheap(er) Chinese tablets, but I'm terrified of warranty issues, quality and disappointment.

I'm holding out for the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16. The 13 looks brilliant too, but I know what I'm like, I will wish I pushed for the next size up. The 27QHD looks amazing but I work in studios often and also hot desk at two locations during the week so need to have portability.

 

Edit; Wacom are taking so long Ive researched myself out of it, iPad pro with a textured screen protector is the future, also the possible cable nest has put me clean off - plus I get top buy the Affinity App.

[David]

Lol!

 

How is it going with The Boss? 

 

If she catches the receipt, I will be sleeping in the shed - still I'm sure I could run an extension lead down and set up office amongst the garden furniture.

Robot.....
