BTS: Creation of The TShirt Guy
January 20, 2011 | 0 Comments
As we took on the new identity of “The TShirt Guys” it became apparent that we needed an actual “TShirt Guy.” So, like any good art project/t-shirt concept, everything starts with a first drawing. Whether it’s on a napkin, a sketch pad, or even painted on a canvas, all conceptual ideas start with the first sketch.
As we continued to fine tune our TShirt Guy’s head, it was time to give him a body.
After some initial sketches and ideas, this is the body we landed on. Here in the Art Department of TheTShirtGuys, it doesn’t matter what you bring in or what ideas you have, we can make it work and make it look amazing.
Once the drawing was finished and we liked what we had, we scanned it in and brought the drawing into Illustrator to begin the “inking” process. Inking is when you bring in your pencil/pen drawing and begin re-drawing it in the computer in order to manipulate it for screen printing.
Here’s what it looks like after we have “inked” the hair of The TShirt Guy. The next few images are more of the process of turning the sketch into a digital drawing.
Now that we have our TShirt Guy digitally created, our next process will be to print him on some t-shirts. On our next Behind-The-Scenes blog series post, we will take you through the process of how to take digital art and print it on a t-shirt. Stay tuned!
