so this is supposed to be a tunnel with the words "music speaks" graffitied on the sides.



this is the first sketch and i am open to suggestions. :)

hi..... nice idea.... in my suggestion, if i, i will add a figure of people standing in front of the tunnel with a shadow showing the person holding a music instrument. The shadow was long. add some color on the graffiti... and a little bit of light shining from the face of the tunnel. Thanks thats my opinion....

love it! maybe make the U a little more thinner ?

its going to look cool if you color it in!!



please crit mine if you want ?

thanks for the suggestions!

i will probably work on coloring first and then maybe adding some of the details that were suggested. thank you so much.

okay. so here is my first attempt at color.

what do you think? any feedback?



other changes will be coming soon. i will try to rework and add some things that have been suggested. thanks so muchhh. :)

wowowowow! that was fast :)



the brick color is really super good!



another cool idea is at the very end of the tunnel have a silhouette of a man playing the violin or some other instrument! ( although i think somebody already gave you that idea ) they said a shadow of the person would look awesome

try coloring it digitally itll make it better suited for a tee

thanks for your crit!

thanks again :)

i will play around with people and instruments within the next few days and hopeuflly somthing will turnout good.



ha this might sound dumb, but how would i digitally color it?

i have a couple of programs, but i havent really experimented with them much.

oh well im excited to see what you come up with!



well it looks really hard and confusing at first, but its actually really fun! go on places like youtube to look up photoshop coloring, it helped me a lot.



p.s i think you should keep the bricks the way they are, i honestly think this artwork doesnt need photoshop because you seem to be really neat when coloring it in, with a mix up of pencil color and digital it might turn out funny.

i lines seperating the gray and white parts of the walls should start at the corners of the arch

the lines*

^she's right.. try to adjust the perspective to make it really looks like a tunnel..:)

I can kinda imagine this on a shirt, and at the end of the tunnel having a heart, so it looks like the person's heart who's wearing the tee.

(music speaks and also comes form the heart).

This isn't really a suggestion, just what I imagine when I see the graphic.

thanks for the suggestions everyone.

school is always hectic during the week, but hopefully i can post a new version sooooon :)



any more suggestions?

I would make the lines in the music parallel with the lines on the interior wall to make the perspective look right. You might also make those lines darker or somehow more evident.

I was questioning it when I saw it before, but the color looks good, and the design is really growing on me.

I'm sorry, both for my opinion and for the pun I'm about to use, but this doesn't really "speak" to me. The contrast of the title of the shirt with what it says doesn't come through in the design alone.



Sorry, again.

so the title should be changed... or you don't like the design and the title and everything?

keason- thanks for your suggestion. that makes a lot of sense.

thank youu.

It's just everything for me. I don't understand why the text is written in a tunnel under a bridge or wall or whatever it is. It just doesn't make sense.



I love music. I'm a musician, and I use music to speak a lot, but this design does not convey that or even why or how music speaks. Solidify any one of those ideas, and you might have a design worth working on.

okay well thanks for your honesty.

i'm going to continue to try to develop this a little more though, and see what happens.

Maybe the words in the tunnel would look cool as graffiti. Then it would make more sense as to why they're there. Good luck! :)

okay so. here's my latest version.

i stuck with the same coloring because that got some positive feedback.

i have added a figure playing the saxaphone in the tunnel.

and i have changed how the music about the words looks.



because of recent negative feedback i may have to rework some things. please keep sending me suggestions!

thanks you.

it def needs digital coloring to make it look more clean...just try it an see how it looks becuase you can do a lot of cool things to make it seem handdrawn but still keep it clean

Help me out?
