Visual Development Lineart

Having finalised Mech design, blue pencil used to neatly draw forms which are then carefully tightened up using the 'inking' process. Ellipse and sweep guides used on the big forms. This is the stage before scanning and importing into photoshop for rendering.

From the movie "People like us"

“The six rules of life.
1. Don't like something just because you think other people will like it, because they won't.
2. What you think is important isnt. What you think is unimportant is.
3. Lean into it.
4. Don't shit where you eat.
5. Most doors are closed so if you want them to open you need a cool knock.
6. Don't sleep with people who have more problems than you do.”
