Just some guy in a boat.

I like the dude in the boat, but no so much the lines. Maybe put him into some kind of simple environment?

i think this is really cool, maybe just a little bigger boat?

I like the boat and some of the lines but not others, especially not the verticals. Maybe have him heading for a wier or a whirlpool?

bummer, i really liked this one. no one likes the lines?

i like the lines, just not the guy or boat, because the guy looks like a 'shroom, the boat is too narrow for me, and the oars are really awkwardly shaped and, a blech color,

hope that makes sense.........

I think the lines would work a lot better if they didn't all end at the borders of the shirt. If each line had an arbitrary end point, I think it would give the design a more appealing shape.



I really like the look of the piece. Though I do think the guy and boat need a bit of reworking.

i like the lines!

agree with goat, that they should not end where the shirt is sewed. maybe let them start and end randomly, only fragments?

I humbly suggest:



-fill in the hat and skin

-make the paddles cut out smoother/fit into water (somehow)

-squash the "water" vertically

-drop the whole design down so that the top wave is under the arms

-consider wrapping right around torso (?)

Sorry for the double. I just forgot to say what I liked :)

-the styling of the lines

-he really looks in trouble/alone

-boat/man drawing is perfect (line-wise)

beautiful idea. love the lines but i agree that they should end in different places. change the color of the little guy so he's more vibrant in contrast to the waves.

I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT LIKE THAT THE COMMENT ON THE LINES THAT THEY SHOULD ALL END IN OTHER POINT WAS GOOD

The lines are good, but they are so much... some time "less is more".

Interesting. I think making the guy bigger and possibly making the waves like that Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa ".
