Happy New Year to all my colleagues! Today marks the beginning of 2026, and that fills me with joy. A year of hope and good vibes awaits us all. I truly wish that all your goals come true. Colleagues, let's kick off this year with a new drawing. Today I've chosen the R561 DJ90 Custom card. This card is a very beautiful microphone. It has purple colors that make it very elegant, and I'd say those colors give it a somewhat mysterious aura. I think it would be perfect for a rock singer or someone with a slightly gothic aesthetic.
As you can see, the microphone has several reflections and shadows. I've tried to capture that in my digital drawing as well. You can tell me later if I managed to get close to the effects of the original card. Okay, I started the drawing by making the frame for the card.
After finishing the frame, I drew the microphone handle, that is, the part used to mount it on a tripod or stand. This part can also be used by the singer to hold the microphone directly without needing a stand. Following the handle, I drew the part that picks up the voice, that is, the top sphere.
As a detail, I drew the different sections of the microphone. This makes it look more realistic and helps the color stand out more clearly. Each part is more defined, giving it more volume and making it look less flat.
Now I'll show you the painting process. As you can see, I used a range of purple colors for the microphone, and several to simulate reflections and shadows. For the background and frame, I used purple and gray. The inner background is two shades of blue. I'll show you how I used all those colors to create the drawing.
Friends, and now to finish up, here's the finished drawing. And with that, the first drawing of the year is complete. See you later. Blessings to all in this new year.
