Tweet

So I thought it would be fun to take you through my design process from start to finish! Here is how I created my shirt illustration "Tweet"



This is my initial sketch I scribbled out on my sketchbook quickly so I wouldn't forget it.


After looking at my initial sketch I tried playing around with what the birds could be saying that was funny. ultimately I decided to keep it short and sweet.


Next I sketched out how I wanted the birds to look - this was my pre-final drawing. Because the final would be in pencil I worked everything out in this drawing before I did the final rendering.



Here is a photo of the final rendering - I used my lightbox to trace the basic outlines of my original drawing and then rendered the values.


Here is final bird drawing scanned, but unaltered.


Here is my final t-shirt design submission to Threadless. The color work was done in Illustrator, the speech bubble section in Illustrator.
