ABOUT

This artwork is tribute to the legend who dares to change the world. Let me know, what do you think about this artwork. After a long time I was thinking to make YouTube videos on illustrations again. Then I looked for any special events, so that I can draw illustration on that topic. So it was, 5th October. You know that on this day, 9 years back he passed away. The man with revolutionary ideas and founder of most valuable tech company, Steve Jobs. I googled for cartoon illustration of Steve Jobs, so that it will be easy or I can say i was finding shortcut. But I didn't found any particular illustration or artwork which I was expecting. Then I decided to create it by my own, which should be unique. Now, I was searching for an iconic pose of Steve Jobs. Then I found a potrait in which he is touching his chin and giving expression like he is thinking. Actually I think that pose itself defines him or it was his signature style, looked handsome in white beard.
First I drew rough sketch on notebook by pencil, to get the flow before going directly on device. And yes this was for first I drew on device without tracing, you can check time lapse video.
So I did rough sketch to fix the position of elements in illustration, then I drew cartoon cartoon version of that portrait. Yeah in this illustration I used primary pencil for outline to give cartoon effect☺️.
I used "Persimmon" & "Turquoise Blue" color with Black and white. Persimmon colour means passion and restless, as he made Apple the most valuable tech brand. That's why I used 'Persimmon' to define his passion & restless curiosity. Turquoise Blue means creativity and inspiration, we all know the creative thinking of Steve Jobs which given inspiration to others. And for eyes I used blue to just show his vision of creative technology. Then we all know some great inventions or revolutions like Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, NEXT and Pixar, to make this interesting i added silhouettes of these inventions and names with 20% opacity.
