My first fully digital drawing. C&C welcome

Yulia Tsinko

My first ever project started and completed in photoshop. It's a t-shirt design for my husband, as he loves tinkering with bikes and his email avatar is a smiley robot face. I wanted to keep it really simple, as I tend to lean too much towards realism and get lost in details. Any comments on the line work? Should I've kept them more uniform?

@Yulia-Tsinko cute! My one advice is to maybe draw the bike in profile so that it would be easier to identify as a bike but that's just based on my taste. The image is definitely working as is. Great work!

Very nice. I like the line work. He reminds a little of Mr. Zip Code from the 1960s !!

I had to google him, but yes, I can definitely see the resemblance=)

Thanks! I did a few thumbnails with different bike angles, but I liked the simplicity of this one. In hind sight, I probably should have done a 3/4 view.

Very nice, so clean. Lee White has a shading class that if you decide to put tone and value on future work would be very helpful. He actually shades and highlights a robot in it.

This is so cute! I think simple is good for a tshirt design.
I'd just try and shorten the horizontal bar where the 2 handlebars join. Right now the vertical part of the handles are almost coinciding with the robot's body.

@Yulia-Tsinko i like the bike, it reads fine as it is. With regards to linework, it looks about as uniform as it gets really, theres no dramatic variation in line width. Its probably appropriate for this piece. You could always download an inking brush off the web, redraw the lines, which would give you much more variation, to see which effect you prefer, but i think its fit for purpose as it is.
