The latest shirt I've made for the upcoming Batman movie,
The Dark Knight Rises. I am super excited for it and am planning on attending the midnight showing with friends :) I think this one turned out better than many of my others.
As always, I used acrylic paint for a couple coats. It will fade with washing, especially if you put it in a machine washer, which you can do, just wait two days, and wash in cold water first. Either way, I prefer to hand wash in cold water.
My last step was cutting the neck to make it wider, though it does not show it in this picture. I went two inches out past the neckline on both sides and cut to the bottom of the V-neckline. I just don't like V-necks and it made this shirt fit more comfortably for me personally.
These are two other drawings I did while working at Camp. They're based after the same character just two different variations and age. I particularly like the "Dinosaur" one. However, I'm not happy with how the facial expression turned out. It strikes as a little kid forced into an outfit when I was trying to go for a cute, innocent, but wary face. Someone who is wanted to be accepted for who they are, and they just happen to be a dinosaur :D The second drawing is the young boy being adorable. I like to think of him being caught doing something he shouldn't be doing, such as playing with bugs in the dirt! Another possibility was that the little lady bug scared him when the bug took off running. Either way, I think of these pictures fondly. I loved drawing them and meant to capture a childish spirit.
