Patchwork Orange, Digital Art for T-Shirts
Hello and welcome to my first digital Vector art post in ages. So this one will be submitted to Cloudcity7 to be printed on T shirts and other apparel. I'm so happy to be doing this kind of thing again. I've had a bit of a break from the digital stuff. I think it's good to have a recharge after months of constant design.
So as we're getting closer to Halloween, I decided to do a ghoulish design. And as you can see, I based the design on the iconic Clockwork Orange novel cover. It's quite a lot different from the filmposter and has a cartoon, Vectorish look.
The original design is actually pretty awesome and lots of fun to emulate. I started off doing a drawing on top of the original.
Once the pencilling was done, I began tracing the image on Affinity Designer, my go to Vector Program. If you've used Adobe illustrator, you'll love Affinity.
Once all the curves ''paths'' are complete, I start the fun part. I love coloring on Affinity Designer. It has loads of 3D fx and lighting but I decided to go with a nice flat design.
Finally, I reverse the image and take a good look at it. Your brain can see things a bit differently when an image is reversed. It can be a good way to see mistakes and also notice ways that that the design can be improved.
Hope you liked my T shirt design. I'd very much like to know what you thought about it. Feel free to leave any comments or feedback :)
