A lot more focus on using the Pen Tool and making curvy lines (and a little bit of laziness when I copy/reflected the wing and reused it at the opposite side )

Took roughly 1Β½ hour, looking at many different reference images and tattoos.

You can get the shirts that I made with this image, right hereΒ at my spreadshirt shop

Hey All!

Yesterday’s practice session became today’s passive income! πŸ™‚

I turned it into a shirt design for my spreadshirt shop and ordered one for myself hehehe πŸ™‚

If you’re curious to get one yourself, feel free to check it out hereΒ , it is a great way to dress in unique clothes while also supporting me so I can keep on doing what I do!

Feel free to post a comment and let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions for shirts that you’d like to see πŸ™‚

I took a trip to Germany , more precisely the city of BrΓΌhl to visit the Tim Burton Exhibition… and it was faaaaantastic! πŸ™‚

It was really nice to see the artworks of Tim Burton up close and the various sculptures, his influences and his early years… And I also bought a book while I was there. The Art of Tim Buron, with over 1000 illustrations, many of them are foldout pages… Its friggin awesome! πŸ˜€

Here’s what I drew today. Heavily inspired by horror films like the Exorcist and vampire movies.. I call it “The Monster in the Doorway” … but after I drew it, I started to think about a phrase that I think is fitting for this image…

“Light reveals what lurks beneath the surface of the dark waters…”

So yeah, Β I didnt get as much practice done during those days, and the days following the trip… But I am back and I am practicing my Adobe Illustrator skills again! πŸ™‚
