bruh the youtube links broke. Song is "Hush". Search "Ace combat 7 hush" and it should come up

(Colored ver below) well this was fun. I made it based on this song https://youtu.be/M906kiFzHuY?si=3uQwOAItMTIiNU7B

Its supposed to be one of those "robot take over the world" thing. The song does give me that feeling so I tried my best to paint it out. Well, I did what I could.

(I promise I did not look at anything while drawing, just drew what my mind told me). I like that it sounds both hopeful and hopeless at the same time - like doom is coming but there lies a small beacon of light to guide us out of the darkness.

"Who do we turn to in this darkest hour? We need a beacon of hope to light the way."

Gonna throw some remixes of it down here which I find cool:

Big thanks to everyone in the drawabox community, and the hosts for making this super fun event! Also thank you to those who commented on my posts here on Imgur encouraging me. You all are awesome!

Looking forward to the next and I will try and draw better!

I thought I would mention some of my other fav pieces of this prompt. Go give them some love.

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.

Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
