I have produced the initial pencil sketch for the Big Friend front cover, which will be used in the final version. It took me around an hour to produce, using Pencil.
I started out on Big Friend himself. He's very Boxy, so all that was needed was to draw lots of cubes.
Once I'd done all the boxes on Big Friend's anatomy, I used a protractor to create a faint curve...
...which I then used as a guide for a nice, fluffy cloud.
This is a little bonus really, but I doodled this dude to test my pencil. He's pretty amazed by something or other...
I then added in Big Friend's little friend, who I've decided will be a girly robot. I also gave him his adorable smile, and the little window on his chest, showing off his mechanisms.
I then gave the duo something to admire - some big mountains. I used the bottom of the protractor to give the mountains lovely straight lines.
I then drew in the title. The two words are meant to represent the two characters - Big Friend, with his big clunky metal shapes, and the little lady robot, with elegant, swooshy lines. I also added another cloud behind the title, for depth's sake.
Two new clouds then joined the party. They've got flat bottoms, as inspired by the wallpaper that is iconic to Pixar's Toy Story series.
And we're all set! Thanks to
Greg for the amazing ruler.
And here's the scan that I'll be sprucing up and colouring in Photoshop over the course of today and perhaps tomorrow.
