A gift for the movie lover - a bit of creativity on Christmas

in #art5 years ago

For years, several times a year I get a special order for a hand-painted T-shirt. Sometimes it's an original pattern, sometimes an inscription or a copy of a poster or interesting graphics. I don't do it professionally - it's a hobby and I only accept orders from people close to me.

It took me weeks to make some of that t-shirts (I wish I had done photos...), this time I received a simple drawing to do. Request came from a young boy (son of my friend), a rookie music and film lover.

Here's how I spent part of my free time on Christmas :)

It was quite easy. I needed a simple t-shirt...

...And gel pens for fabric - ideal for precise drawing.

The beginning is usually hard, especially when the first sketch doesn't look good enough. That's why it's better not to analyze too much and continue...

So I added a few colors, fortunately, I had some fabric paints that were from previous work.

And I had to draw hundreds of unruly lines.

Finally, I added bit of darkness, i.e. black paint ;)

The drawing had to be heat-set with an iron, and of course in a future it's better to wash the t-shirt by hand.

The sketch may seem untidy, but this is the intended effect. My young friend wanted drawing to be similar to the original movie poster (without some elements). Of course It's not perfectly the same - I don't like copy all details exactly. In such cases, first I copy the general outline, but then I rely on my own drawing style.

And this is the original poster... who watched this movie? It's old and iconic ;)
