Escaping Moonlight: Volvo 850

About the illustration:

Escaping Moonlight: Volvo 850 illustration made in Affinity Designer for iPad.

I didn't really know where it was going at first (as you can see in the WIPs below). Just tried to learn as much as I could from Chris Rathbone's tutorial from the Affinity Lockdown sessions.

After thinking for a while and being afraid of messing the work done so far up, I took the leap and went in a VERY different direction from where I usually go. Originally the ball in the back was supposed to be the sun, but then it occurred to me that it could also be an ominous moon.

The sense of speed given by the in-frame one point perspective that guides the whole drawing sells the idea, I think. I used this to train my drawing skills (as I usually do a LOT of tracing).

It's far from perfect but I found it very rewarding.
