Tee Design - I

At the start of the summer I got asked by a friend to design a t-shirt for his band, Postmortem Promises. I feel kind of bad as I didn't really give it a go over the summer, but now I can tie it into this project. Here is where I got up to before we received the comm tech II brief...



I created this outline within photoshop and then...



...I dragged it into illustrator and pen tooled in the linework. I kind of left it when I got to this stage, the file was just sat there gathering dust until I showed it to Matt. We both agreed that it wasn't looking too good and that I should really be working on my original sketches to achieve a better looking troll, which is really what I am trying to get out of this project. I need to keep drawing and drawing and drawing until it hurts.



This is a quick sketch I drew from these few references...





I shall update my blog once I have made some progress.
