I’m working on this retro space rocket illustration for an ongoing project. It’s still very much work in progress, but seemed perfect for this week’s Illustration Friday topic ‘journey’.
This started out as a quick sketch, which I passed to my friend Phil who created a 3D visual in SketchUp for me to work from. He was able to tilt and position the model at the exact angle for me, before giving me a wireframe that I could then import into Illustrator and work up. As this is a retro space rocket, I couldn’t resist finishing off with some funky Mr Retro filters in Photoshop.
Phil is an illustrator and visualiser and also regularly submits to Illustration Friday. You can visit his blog here.
Fun collaboration – can’t wait to see where it goes!
