10/08/2022 - Kodak Retina 010 study

This Kodak Retina I type 010 serial #EK18410 is very meaningful to me. It used to belong to my wife's grand father Luke, and he gifted it to me. I've drawn it before, too.

I've taken some detailed pictures of this exquisite piece of engineering. It's so precious. All these little gears, levers, and tidbits, all assembled precisely together, to capture the marriage of time and light together on chemistry and acetate.

From a practical standpoint, the sketch was executed in Procreate, using True Grit Texture Supply's Rusty Nib inkers. Phenomenal brushes right there. There's a bit of texture magic on top from the #collageretreat freebies, and using Procreate's halftone filters.
