Hey beemates!
It's a pleasure to finally share a piece with this community.
Today I will show you how I made this awesome-looking car using just characters and emojis on my keyboard.
I was quite inspired when I saw people making objects with keyboard characters and so I decided to give it a try myself too.
So this is what I could put up with the characters and emojis I was able to place my hands on.

The truth is, this wasn't easy at all. At first, I made this by putting the characters together and it did appear quite fine in my editor, but when I checked my preview section, everything was scattered apart. This was when it dawned on me that the writing/edit section is quite different from what the preview section will look like, and also since it's either Peakd or hive configuration, I had to start all over again.
While building this, I kept checking the preview section to know when and where it needed some adjustments.

In return, it looked scattered in the edit section but perfect in the preview section. And I guess this is the best since my viewers are gonna see the output, which is the preview and not the edit/ writing part.

It did take quite some time to finish this. I mean I was trying to be creative here, so it wasn't easy at all.
At some point, I changed most of the emojis and characters I had earlier used and got something that fitted better than the first.
I made two different designs but very similar. The only difference is in the emojis. Although at first, I made them in two different sizes as well, but I didn't like the output so I changed them back to the normal size for both of the cars.
I will show you the detached part of my work below. Do well to check it out.

The flag wasn't the first thing I did, that one came last. The quotation marks and the bending strokes are what I first put together.

And then I went ahead to insert the dashes for the seat section and later inputted the human emojis, a man and a woman taking their respective seats. And also added the mirror to both sides.

This part served as the engine top of the car. Do you know that area that houses all the engines of the car such that if the car breaks down on the way, we open it to check what's wrong and then work on the car? Yes, that's the part.

This is the front of the car where the lights are being fixed. I decided to use a blue and white round object for this. Although at first, I had used a yellow one but I later changed it since I really didn't like the outlook it gave the car and the color was a bit off too.

This portion is serving as the plate number. Normally that's where we have the plate number and country/state slogan and initials attached to the car, so I replaced it with my name instead.

And finally, this last part gave the car a better touch.
It acted like the underneath of the car and gave the car a better figure and shape.





Adding all of those detached parts together, with the right spacing, and measurements of length and width gave it the final outlook.
What do you think of my characters and emojis illustration?
I could try making other things too with this, but it wouldn't be so easy.
Meanwhile, rate my work.
