hey guys! i thought i'd share a recent highschool art project i just completed.
the idea was pretty much to create your own t-shirt design (which can be anything) to then use a silkscreen to print onto an actual piece of clothing.
i decided to do a design of my favorite toa, pohatu! here's the initial concept art i made:
and a practice print on a rag:
my first plan was to print it on a navy shirt in orange ink, but that didnt turn out so great unfortunately (the ink was too translucent to show on dark fabric).
since then i decided to print it in brown ink on this cream white hoodie and am really happy with the results. (i accidentally smudged the ink right after i took this photo but we don't talk about that 🥀🥀)
im thinking of maybe putting this design up on TeePublic and possibly doing similar designs of the other toa. what do you guys think?
