Phantom

T-shirt Illustration I had the pleasure to design for a friend. I created two versions of the phantom t-shirt illustration.

He is starting a small clothing brand Call “ Life Gear Clothing”. Located in Illinois. This will be their first t-shirt release, with two different versions of the design.

This design is to represent him and also represent his new company.

A client, ask me to create a t-shirt design for him. Something that will represent him. He chose to go with his nickname. Which everyone calls him phantom.
This is why I chose this character. He belongs to a party/graffiti crew. I wanted to show their crew color. Which is “white and baby blue colors".

First, I like to start with a couple of rough sketches. Once I have done the rough sketches, I like to show the client. In case they want to make any type of changes. From there, we finalize the sketch by adding details.

Then the inking process begins. The program I like to use the most is Adobe Illustrator for inking. Once the inking is done, we continue to adding color the design. For the coloring process, I like to use Photoshop or Illustrator.

After all, is done. We like to mock up the project, to show the customer. This way they have an idea, how it will look in the type of material they want to use.

This project I have not been advertised yet. Still waiting to be approved and also waiting on the release date of this new t-shirt design. I am still a beginner, I believe I still need to learn more. From Inking, coloring, and adding detail. I would like to learn from other t-shirt illustrators out. Maybe someday, I will meet someone, who will guide me. I also need to improve on using photoshop more.
