Broke my ps4 controller today (dumb me haha, I left it out in the hot sun and now the controls are wrecked). Lead me to wishing there was a machine that can repair it for me right now and came up with this.

The machine offers a variety of services:

  • Automatic repairing (cost depends on how complex the item/problem is)

  • Buying tools to self repair (workbench included so if you're a tinkerer you can fix your own stuff)

  • Buying a new item entirely (it sells electronics)

  • Delivery. Don't have time to wait? When your item is done fixing, a drone/car will get it to your location.

  • Selling stuff. Insert unusable junk in and get some money in return.

I have an uncolored version down https://i.imgur.com/YYyVhvU.jpg, I like it more, my coloring kinda mess it up.

Special thanks to GAMAGA. I used your submission as a reference and it helped me tackle the 3d aspect of the drawing. They made a "food printer" which is pretty cool. (https://imgur.com/a/food-printer-ZiTlPiU)

I'd been drawing as a hobby for a solid 10 years at least before I finally had the concept of composition explained to me by a friend.

Unlike the spatial reasoning we delve into here, where it's all about understanding the relationships between things in three dimensions, composition is all about understanding what you're drawing as it exists in two dimensions. It's about the silhouettes that are used to represent objects, without concern for what those objects are. It's all just shapes, how those shapes balance against one another, and how their arrangement encourages the viewer's eye to follow a specific path. When it comes to illustration, composition is extremely important, and coming to understand it fundamentally changed how I approached my own work.

Marcos Mateu-Mestre's Framed Ink is among the best books out there on explaining composition, and how to think through the way in which you lay out your work.

Illustration is, at its core, storytelling, and understanding composition will arm you with the tools you'll need to tell stories that occur across a span of time, within the confines of a single frame.
