This is my older design. When I first made the colors were much more muted. But I think the design was too dark and subtle, so now I changed saturation and exposure.

And this is how it used before:
You guys know that my brother and I have been working on our cat book. Each page takes a while.
You start with a rough sketch:
On top of it you create a cleaner sketch:
And then you keep adding details. Some things you can draw from memory. But if you are unsure how something looks you find references and take photos of things that you want to add. Here I took a photo of a plant spray bottle and then drew it:
I googled strawberries and then sketched them too using photos as references:
I searched for various plants and flowers for inspiration:
And I even used one of my designs with two cats and added them to the image:
And that’s how the whole drawing is made 🙂
I was playing Stardew Valley and I had a cat shirt. Or so I though.
It was in fact a skull shirt. But I didn’t know that. I thought, “I am going to draw a giant cat head”. So here’s my new design:
At first, I drew it like so:
I painted it with white color only — those dark grey areas are just white pixels with very low opacity. But, as I know, those pixels would not be printed at all. There’s no point submitting a design with too many transparent pixels. That’s why I changed contrast, so only the white pixels with high opacity are left.
Today I finally had time for some sketching. This is a silly idea that I had and I first did a quick drawing on my reMarkable tablet:
Then I inverted colors in Photoshop, so that it was a white design on a black background, and cleaned it up a bit:
And of course then uploaded it to my Threadless shop:
This is my Galaxy design:
Someone asked me about this design: how it’s made, why it looks kind of ‘silver’. So I am sharing it here in case you find it interesting too.
This is a close up:
And even more close up:
As you can see, it’s painted with the most basic hard pencil brush in Photoshop.
