I want to draw robot in an organic way; so instead of using super rigid lines, I want to draw a robot with the air of “what is that?” approach. I use minimal lines to express the robot-part, but minimum enough for folks to see and wonder, “WTH is that?”

You might notice the background color on the timelapse video is slightly different from the drawing (the video has a slight tinge of reddish color on the background.) I just realized it after the video is exported, so, yeah.

I love this drawing. I’m finally able to put one of my dreams: To draw something that is “beyond what you see.” I always love the idea of having sleeping giants/beasts while life happens on top of it unknowingly, and the sleeping giants became lore and legends of the guardians. Nobody knows when they will wake up again. Perhaps when the kingdom is in peril, the great dragon will awaken once more?

I’m trying a slightly different style, and I’m kinda happy about it. The drawing has a similar vibe from Day 17: “Snow”, and I love the overall color. In the video, you’d notice I tested using sky blue color for the background, but I really want to bring all trees together than displaying them separately, so I use dusty green instead.
