Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuto-Tuesday!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a satellite.
With a compass we mark half a circle, which will be Earth.
Then we take some measurements and begin sketching the satellite,
the solar panels and the body itself.
We give it some shape and detail.
I´ll draw a little radar, up here.
Then with a light blue, we begin coloring earth.
We leave some white or almost white spaces for the clouds.
I think this blue is too light, and you can barely see it.
Let´s go over it with a darken one.
Oops, I was so into it that I went off the frame.
Ok!
We finish coloring the planets surface and then with a cloth or preferably
with a chamois, we smudge it.
As you can see, this changes its appearance.
And with a kneaded eraser or a regular eraser
we do the clouds.
Good!
And now with a black marker, we draw the outer space.
First I use a fine point, to do the borders. So as not to go over them.
And then I switch to a wider point, to go faster, because I don´t want to
become old doing this.
We finish sketching the detail and then with a black pencil
well sharpened we begin the solar panels.
And then we render the shadows and the lights on the satellite.
I want it to have a metallic finish.
We smudge with a tortillion.
I got the inspiration to create this drawing, while I was reading a book
that I like very much called ¨Bold¨.
In this wonderful book written by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler,
they talk about the new technologies that will revolutionize the world, and how
to apply them to create positive impact in sociaty.
Peter is a true futurist. He has created over fifteen high-tech companies.
One of the most recent creation, will dedicate itself to mining satellites.
To get valuable metals and send them back to Earth.
So we will not have to deplete this planet and it will be a huge business.
The company is called ¨Planetary Resources¨.
In case you want to check it out and join this movement.
Allright.
I use a ruler to straighten some of my lines that were all wavy.
And with a gray marker, we give a tone to the panels.
Coming back to the subject, it turns out there are
thousands of satellites orbiting around the Sun,
that are rich in metals, and we can avail of them.
With a white pencil we refine the border of the Earth
and create the stars.
With a white pastel, we pull some lights on the satellite,
we draw the blaze of the planet,
and it´s ready!
