I want this to look like those old illustrations in dictionaries. I'm going to put the definition, etc. under the design but haven't fully figured out exactly what I want to say and what font I want to use. Also, still thinking of shirt colors?



Let me know what you guys think :) Thanks Everyone!

Very nice lines! I like how the light falls where the lines are not fully drawn, maybe put on some more light spots like on the right arm. Looking forward to seeing the text. I didn't read the image as old dictionary illustration immediately, the text might do the trick! Keep up the good work!



Critique my Dark blue magic ? Thanks!

Very nice. I think the definition will really complete it. Looking forward to it!

awesome design! this definitely looks like it was pulled straight from an illustrated zoological book. for shirt colour, i'd go with a beige-ish one, to simulate old paper. nice work!



i've got one too:

Great line work!



Needs some color to put it over the top, I think.



You might want to check out this tutorial by KDLIG, she's a freakin master of vector line and color imo!

Gorgeous drawing. Lets see it on a tee ! You need an awesome scietific name in latin written underneath. Use a typewriter for the font.





Could you critique my latest design ?

I agree with sjem - stinger! I also agree with monomoose - very old-school feel to it. I love it. Almost ready!

Beautiful line work. I vote stinger as well. Sand shirt would indeed enhanced the worn feel, as would dark brown ink. Not to split hairs, but bees don't produce pollen, they collect it. Just sayin'



Take a look at mine?

Beautiful line work!! I wonder if you would add a flower, same style as the bee. Also I agree a stinger might add to it. Don't forget to place it on a shirt.

I really like this! I want to see it's placement on a shirt though, but definite winner!



My shirt is up for voting if you could vote and comment that would be great!
