Finished Cat Sticker

August 15, 2022 Leave a comment

I finished my drawing for my cat sticker and ordered the stickers. After the teeth I made a border with some words and eyes. Isolating the eyes took a lot longer than I was planning.

The eyes look fine there but . . .
. . . when they are on something other than white you can see the problem.
Now they are all cleaned up and ready to place around the border.
I put a bigger eye at each vertex.
I tried to make each one look a little different by adjusting the size and rotation. It’s all the same two eyes though.
I write the words out in my sketchbook in pencil, take a picture with my phone, edit the photo on my phone to get it as clean as possible, and then place it as an image in Illustrator and immediately use Trace Image to make it into a vector so I can line up the letters properly and adjust the size and spacing. It’s a lot of work making something look like you just threw together a doodle.
I’m repositioning the R there I guess.
Lining all the letters up on those guide lines.
Now the words are in place and one eye.
Almost all the eyes are in.
This is the finished sticker that I sent to the printer. Let me know if you want one using my contact form or text me or something. I will give you some.
