affinity designer Started a "rotring" drawing....

[Antony parks]

Started trying to do a old style Rotring drawing; mainly for the shirt; and got carried away.

Anyway just for the fun of it.

Season's greetings to you all.

Love it, just got an instaheadache from the shirt, how on earth did you survive drawing that without going insane?

 

[Antony parks]

Slammer, thanks for the "love it". Yes the shirt was a bit of a challenge, definite risk of going cross eyed. Took me ages, maybe 15 hours total for the shirt.

Wow! Great work! The colour combinations are wonderfully subtle...

[Kasper-V]

Incredible! It would have been great with a plain shirt; the stripes took me right back to my mis-spent youth in the Op Art sixties!

I see, Felicity Jones, although the hand chain is missing.

Yes, Felicity Jones!  I'm a great fan. At least it's recognisible.

Colour editing was, to my mind, greatly helped by allocating a series of global colours. I other words I drew all the hair lines in a bright orange global colour so that I could see what I was doing: the shirt strips were garish pink at one stage. At the end I had 29 global colours so the final colour edit was quite simple.

Thanks for the positive comments.
