affinity designer Because I love Hawaiian Shirts

[buschbrand]

Hi there,

I love Hawaiian Shirts and tropical und floral patterns. It's not that perfect and just »work in progress «– but I like it. Some shadows have to be refined and some textures may be added. No Stock-Pictures are used and lots of hours were spent to draw all parts of it.

I don't know what to do with it. In my dreams it becomes a shirt. What do you think?

Ciao,

Arne

Hi Arne,

 Looks good. 

I lived and worked in Hawaii and the only Toucans there are in the https://www.honoluluzoo.org/animals/toco-toucan/#1554430828602-0bbd8c86-9a4d.

You might think about "Brazilian" shirts

Thanks Fred, I've never been to Hawaii… I'll change the Tucan for another bird.

Maybe the parrot would fit …?

Now it's 100 % hawaiian, right?

Both are excellent, @buschbrand

Hawaiian shirts are growing on me now that many modern designs are so sterile and minimalistic. I find nature and cultures inspired by it much more appealing than generation iPad, flat design and homes without traces of who lives there.

I would certainly buy on of your shirts.

Cheers

Passt wirklich auf alles: Markisen, Sonnensegel, Becher, Autos, Corona-Masken … und natürlich auf Jürgen von der Lippe!

PS: Ein Hawaiihemd/shirt verträgt doch jedes Motiv, selbst wenn das Bier oder Tier in Hawaii (noch) nicht existent ist. Hauptsache kunterbunt! Auch hier nutzt man den farbenfrohen Tukan.

Thank you very much, Jowday,

I tried to find a good balance between naturalism and a reduced style. But I'd like to make the look a bit more artsy … maybe in a blockprint-style. For me it's just the starting point – I really love patterns in general, so let's see, where it takes me.

Dankeschön Oval, ich habe auch schon über andere Anwendungen nachgedacht. Ich recherchiere gerade, was für Möglichkeit gibt. Von der bereits gesichteten Möglichkeiten gefällt mir z. B. ein Sitzsack oder eine Hängematte mit einem der Muster ganz gut. Oder eine Tapete fänd' ich auch cool.
