Key Covers (1)

I am now designing key covers, I will post all the process in this post. To begin with key drawing, I found a picture on the Internet, as I am not familiar to draw on a digital drawing tablet, it would be better for me to draw a key based on the real object picture.

Source: Key

The picture I found on the Internet

 Then I created three layers: "Layer 1", "Key pic" and "background". I duplicate the key picture from another file to here and rotate the image to vertical.

Next, I am drawing the outline of the key on Layer 1.

As you can see, I am drawing the outline.

I found it is very difficult to draw a straight line, especially I seldom use a digital tablet.

After drawing the outline, I am going to paint it. I paint the background colour first. Then I started to work with the shadow. In order to make it looks more natural, I change the opacity. Higher opacity, darker is it.

I started adding shadow.

Finished drawing the key.

Although it looks simple, it took me more than 3 hours to get it finished. Now I am going to save this as a picture, so I will be designing the key cover with this key drawing.
