Choosing my object

...because that's something i completely forgot to make a post about ^^'

I wanna recreate my cute little candy tin ^-^ 

Allll done!

Creating the Vinyl Cut Outs! Can't wait to cut them out!

I ended up going with this idea! I really wanted to challenge myself with curvy lines, but I also wanted to apply it to my own work. This is something I plan on putting onto some converse to spice it up!!

I think that they turned out pretty good!! I'm not super happy with how many jagged edges came out of it. My style is very curvy, which I found is limited in Rhino, but could just be that I'm not well versed in the curve tool. I used the line tool for this, and just did a ton of lines to make to look curved!

I'm excited to get it cut out and put onto my shoes!!

Changing my idea completely? I had fun with this one

I was really inspired by the glazed cups that Brian showed us in class today. They were very illustrative, which for some reason I hadn't thought I should do something illustrative. It made me think back to a project that I had once bought the items for, but never ending up completing it. I had once wanted to paint my little characters on canvas shoes. I never did probably because the process would take a while, and paint is not my forte, but mostly because having an under sketch is incredibly difficult.
With vinyl though, not only does it speed up the work, but it also eliminates the guess work I would have to go through to complete it. Hopefully this way I can get the paint to go on flat!

So I started sketching. I ended up choosing characters that are near and dear to my heart, just because I've drawn them for so long!! I started drawing these two back in 2012, I believe, and I have used them for a vinyl project before, so I thought I would revisit them!

I drew two illustrations to be put on either shoe. I wanted some variety so each shoe is fun to look at! Lots of work for me, but it will look awesome once everything is put together nicely!

I bought those canvas shoes so long ago, I've worn holes in the bottom! So time to go buy some new ones :D

Ironing out the details

So this week I thought long and hard about how I wanted to take this idea further. The thumbnail that my group and I agreed on was this one:

We discussed changing it up a little bit. They liked the idea, but perhaps I could play with alternating the black and white, having it cut out of the black v white. So I decided to play with that idea.

I really was thinking about the object that I wanted to put it on. I decided on my sketchbook. I really love the idea of putting this cat on a sketchbook as the idea was inspired by things I used to draw.

So I ultimately came up with this idea, I might do a tiny bit of tweaks to the final version of this idea, but I really liked how it came out. I really like the idea of this abstract looking pattern, but when you look closer, you can pick out these small little animals hidden in the ink. 

I'm going to put this into photoshop and play with different sizes and colours for the shapes!
